I found it not so bad and would not call it "poor"; at least it war better than krisflyer gold, which I always found very poor and often very crowded
and it was close to the gates where TG leave...having to change terminals for a loungs sucks...

Confirmed as of Feb 22, KrisFlyer Gold lounge was great with shower facility (queue could be a bit long, while they told me it would take 1.5 hours, it actually only took 40 min to get a shower room based on 9pm visit. I went to pick up the queue as soon as I arrived. I then realized I came to this lounge before in July 2022 without realizing there was a shower facility (but did not need it at that time). Food was quite good to me. This time I had a 10-hour layover, so they would allow me to lay down and sleep on a couch (there was a quite zone where it is not too visible for people to see you sleep), they also offered a blanket, which I did not know they would, but one of the staff came to offer it to me after noticing I covered myself with extra clothes (it was quite cold to me). You would need the eye mask and ear plugs as lighting was quite bright and music volume was on a high side. It wasn't a good sleep like I used to have at the SilverKris lounge, but it was good enough to get by. Hope this info is helpful.

Hi, I will arrive to SIN around 1 am. Is any departure lounge that can stay until 6 am and then go to the town?

Thai-Kiwi

If you are departing Singapore later the same day then your lounge access will be based on your status/cabin class for the departing flight. If you have a long layover then yes you could chill in the lounge based on your departing flight, then enter Singapore and return later that day/evening. Search airlines for respective lounge opening times.

If you just want to chill ‘airside’ until 6am and will then enter/stay in Singapore without a subsequent same day departure, then your options are paid lounges or transit hotel.

Hi everyone,

I'm arriving into SIN at 15:45 and waiting for a friend to arrive at 17:00

Do I need to go through transit security (originating from Canada) to reach the KF Gold lounge?

Will I be eligible for entry given that my onward departure is 09:00? Or is it strictly a same-day on calendar-day issue

Thai-Kiwi

Arrival. The is no transit security in Singapore. Arriving pax immediately mix with departing pax. Security is conducted at each departure gate. You just need to decide a meet-up point.

Do you hope to remain in a lounge from 1700 to 0900 the next day? Don’t know if that is possible. Star Alliance lounges are for same day departure, and lounges may close between 0100-0400.

Thanks for you input as always!!!

No, I just wanted a place to chill before walking my friend through immigration. I saw that the KF Gold lounge was 24 hours on the SQ website so I was hoping a next-morning boarding pass would be okay as well. I know my sister got in at 2200 once for a 0650 flight but I'm not sure if the rules were different for the J lounges or maybe someone took pity, because yes, you're right, *A is "same-day" for every other lounge I've visited, but for some reason I thought SQ could be different. :P

You can only try, but be ready to smile and walk away to chill elsewhere.

Ask humbly, stating your purpose and be prepared to be turned away - that is the best way, and maybe you will get lucky

It's the Marhaba lounge at T1, used it yesterday and agree, it is sub par!. Thai seems to be really cutting costs everywhere yet still charging premium prices for their Business Class offering....does not bode well for the future, yet every single seat (without exception) on the flight from Singapore yesterday was full.

SilverChris

To be fair, there aren't a lot of options for *A in T1. The contract lounges in SIN range from 'meh' to dreadful. You could always access the SQ lounges in T2/T3.

BinSabai

for the normal waiting time between check in/passport control and security (often long queue and no fast track or fast track by jumping the queue) and boarding between 30-60 minutes, does it make sense to change terminal for the SQ lounges or just spend it in the mediocre contract lounge...

SilverChris

You tell me. My point is that there's not a whole lot TG could do to improve their lounge situation in SIN.
