The lounge is quite small though, so does not take much more than 10 people to make it crowded

the last couple of months (winter season) there were in the beginning nearly every evening 3 A380 leaving at nearly the same time before and after midnight, TG910, TG920 and TG930 to LHR, FRA and CDG before they started to replace on some days with 77w and finally switchted the one to FRA to the second flight

Ouch that’s a lot! I remember when QR had the agreement in place, even with a full 380, we only were a handful of pax in the E F lounge usually.
I thought they only had two 380 capable gates on E and same on C though? Would the third be bussed?

It has been reported to be open for about a week now - so yes you can indeed switch lounge whenever you please. I am not sure if the TK lounge is open all day or it is restricted to being around TK departures though.

I'm in the TK lounge now. It's a bit underwhelming but wonderfully empty! Looks over the courtyard on the landside of the airport so is bright and airy. The food offerings are very disappointing though. Some pita bread that looks like it comes from Villa Market with some nice dips, a curry with plain rice, some Turkish coffee options, a few tuna sandwiches. I was hoping for some falafel, kebabs, anything Turkish really so a bit disappointed.
I'm not in the mood for eating today (had a big breakfast on the way in and will feast on my flight to LHR that departs in an hour). If I was, I'd go to the SG to BR lounges instead. However, for a nice quiet space with solid internet, it's good.
Below are a few photos.

Last Saturday i visited SQ lounge. Went out for less than hour to make duty free shopping and meet my friend who was flying in different alliance. After that I went back. Staff changed and I was refused to enter again. They asked me to find different lounge. (How stupid is that? ) So I asked why ? My plane was just in front of this lounge and I definitely didn;'t want to go to BR or TG. Staff couldn't tell me why .... so I just entered this lounge and sat down. Finnito la muzika.
After 10 years being StarGold for the first time I was refused from entering Star Alliance lounge. Maybe they just hate THAI ROP Gold members.
But still think SQ and BR are two the best Star Alliance lounges at this airport.

Will definitely check it our soon, but sounds like SQ and BR will remain the most solid choices for the time being.

In my experience only the ‘lounge is full, please use XX lounge’ reason/excuse has been used with me (once a long time ago)
