The *new* SilverKris Lounge at Changi T3
With the all-new lounge open from today, perhaps a timely all-new thread for pics, reviews, first impressions ands experiences?
I'll kick off with these pics, snapped during a pre-opening visit last week. https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...42b4104611.jpg https://cimg9.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...87ab3f6c0e.jpg https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...291549b257.jpg https://cimg2.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...206106496d.jpg https://cimg4.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e3b9d63ab9.jpg https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...d1f8103098.jpg https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...7fba9e4566.jpg https://cimg7.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...ff005d7e33.jpg More pics and details a https://www.executivetraveller.com/n...s-class-lounge |
And Aaron from The Mile Lion is now in the lounge, ahead of his flight to Sydney, so you can expect more pics and first-hand impressions of the lounge in action later today at https://milelion.com.

Just arrived in from Frankfurt connecting to KUL
The lounge can’t cope . Queues to get in to the lounge . Hour long Queues for showers ( they have given up with the bleeps ) Took three rounds to find anything other than a bar seat Looks tatty and scruffy already .Not a pleasant experience |
What time did you use the lounge (as there are two SQ flights from FRA daily)?
I hear the morning and late evening/ night time slots are very busy as this is one lounge to serve all at the moment. Relief will only come when the separate Gold Lounge for KFEG and *A Gold opens up. |
I flew last week to Europe - midnight flight - arrived around 9pm'ish at Changi ....no seats at all, people sitting on window ledges even. Eventually had to hang at the bar as I didn't want to keep walking around eying for a seat to come free.
Nice buzz though and its good to see air travel back u again! |
It has been the case since last December.
I could see the people flooding in from 8:30pm. Hard to get a seat after 9pm.

I read somewhere that SQ expects to about 60% of pre-pandemic capacity very shortly. That's with, at the moment, probably less than 25% of lounge capacity ... (used to have 7 lounges operating ... T2 SKL, T2 KFGL, T2 FCL, T3 SKL, T3 KFGL, T3 FCL and T3 TPR), now just one with arguably the footprint of 2. No wonder things are bursting. Need those extra lounges to open up ASAP.

I'm hopeful for my lunch time departure to hit a lull period. Fingers crossed.

Relief will only come when the separate Gold Lounge for KFEG and *A Gold opens up. The lounge did get much quieter at about 1030am . I still would not describe it as having a premium feel though . The food stations still could not cope . There is a lot of lying down sleeping on sofas etc . Dragging of furniture around to make beds. The below made me smile . It’s the contrast between the onboard service that makes the lounge short comings so obvious . The lounge as it is is long and thin . Furthest from the food stations there is no table QR code ordering available . Even when capacity is sorted it’s not going to be a great lounge in my view . https://cimg1.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.fly...e7ecfb76a.jpeg |

Was there around noon and it was maybe 60-70% full so I honestly can imagine it getting packed to the max during the busy morning and late night departure bank of flights. Heard SQ even sending overflow to SATS Premier lounge or such if needed. As others pointed out, they have one lounge right now where there would be 3 (not counting TPR separately) in T3 alone and the also 3 in T2. It is just not possible to cope with recent heavier loads. |
