SIN - Almost perfect?

So, today is a SIN-themed posting day for me. I'm at SIN right now on a 3 hour layover before I head on to SYD, and I have to say that this place is really pretty good. A bit warm for my liking, but a pleasant place to be.

But what's the deal with the lack of showers? I would expect most lounges to offer at least a couple of showers, but no! There is a place about a 5 minute walk away from the airline lounges (Transit Lounge) where you an buy the use of a shower cubicle, but for major airlines to be sending people all the way down there and make them pay seems a bit low rent.

If you are flying in business on star alliance flights, there are showers in SQ's SilverKris lounges that you have access to.

That's SQ for you.
Only if you are flying F or C, you'll have access to Silver Kris Lounge with showers.
*Gs flying in Y don't even have a restroom inside the lounge.

BTW, I see that you are BA Gold, so you can use QF F lounge if flying OW.

Since this topic is specific to one airport, let's move this over to the Singapore forum for further discussion. Thanks! /JY1024, TravelBuzz co-moderator

I was pretty surprised, to be honest. The vibe that I got was that SQ was quality.

I only have BA Gold because of the status match with BD, and that was quite recent. I'm generally not keen on flying with OW unless it's a redemption. (But that's a whole other story...).
