New SilverKris lounge at ICN is now open

SQ had to close their old lounge at ICN in January 2018 as they relocated from the Satellite to the main part of Terminal 1. They opened a new lounge in Terminal 1 today.

I wonder whether they have returned to the glory days of their first SKL at ICN (before they had to move out to Concourse A) - that was a really great lounge for its time, and had been far ahead of the KE and OZ lounges which, even to this day, continue to be very meh.

"meh" is being kind when describing the KE lounges.

Nice lounge

Was there yesterday- no pics. One large seating + bar + food area on your right and a separate seating area on the left. No split between First and Business. Main concourse.

Warm food, ok wine, canaps and usual drinks. Active bartender with cocktail menu, though I didnt partake this time. He didnt seem too busy at 4pm.

Significantly better than current Asiana lounge and the prior Krisflyer lounge in concourse A. In my view better (larger, more open) than even the old main concourse lounge.

I haven't been the HKG in a while, but I was at KUL the other day and it was significantly worse than HKG. I've been in better United Clubs...

It did, but it was not a "nice" restroom.

OMG - in the lounge now... Stunning... For a moment I was the only one in the lounge, now 2 other passengers joined me.

Much better (design wise) than SYD & BKK lounges...

No issue to get access while not flying with SQ (I fly with LO).
