According to one lounge staff member, who has made us many Singapore Slings and other cocktails for us in the F lounge over the years, current forecast opening is some time during May.

Confirming this - arrived in F from BOM connecting to LAX in J, and was allowed in to F wing of SilverKris lounge a few days ago. It was basically the same as the J facilities but less crowded and with slightly better food & beverage. No J or F lines at gate post-security so priority pax (including multiple in F) had to wait for doc check to get to gate area for SQ12 to NRT/LAX. Not a very nice experience overall.

Arriving Suites from JFK. Departing Scoot in Y (different terminal, I know). PR access?

If yes...

Arriving Business from JFK. Departing Scoot in Y. No Star Alliance status. SilverKris access in T2?

If you arrive in suites you can access TPR (well, the first section in the Silverkris Lounge currently). Just show your suites boarding pass.

Clearly they subcontracted the job to the same people who handle phone enquiries... I am travelling through in mid July, hope it's open by then.

So here's a question. Is the current SilverKris lounge packed to the gills? Would the PriorityPass lounge options be superior? Traveling end of May, two hour layover, 0700~0900 or thereabouts.

Also, within SilverKris, any differentiation for F passengers? Or is it like LH where they just rope off a few seats and drop a rose on the table?

I was there from ~07:30-09:15 about a week ago. It was packed to the gills to the point it was almost impossible to find a seat. About 09:00, it started to clear out.

Really couldn't be worse. This temporary SQ lounge has almost nothing in common with the old SQ lounge.

There is a separate roped off area. I was in business so don't know how it was in that area, but at a glance it pretty much looked the same as the business section. I think someone else said they had a little better food offerings [not a hard standard to beat].

I'm in F on SQ next week to ZRH so I'll get to experience it myself first-hand.

[What rocket scientist at SQ concluded that a 01:25 departure to ZRH was a good idea????]

I've been to the roped off F area a few times. Last time was fairly crowded. Only differences are a couple food choices and the wine/champagne. I'm hoping the new F lounge will be ready by my next flight in May... understand it will be opened at some point in May.

Is that early or late June? Is June a realistic date or is it more likely still 5 - 6 months away?
