[PER] PER SKL undergoing renovation/extension

[MAN Flyer]

An exptension is well overdue imho, as that place gets packed.

The entrance is already changed and you now come in at an angle through a hallway before turning right to face the lounge dragon. As I seem to remember you used to previously walk stright in in front of her. There is now a bar/cafe in front of there.

All due to be finished by February.

hi guys, many tks for the info on the ongoing reno works.
i noted however the sq website saying skl will be closed from 3 march 09 onwards. it did not specify how long it will be closed.
anyone knows if there is an alternative star alliance lounge we could use?
i will be travelling on sq and remember there are only the MH, QF, SKL and emirates lounge at t1 (international departures). any ideas guys?

MEL SKL needs a refurbishment too.

But I did not the new F cutlery/plates in the lounge on Saturday morning

Was highly tempted to take a 'set' for home hehe

Hi folks, a few questions regarding this lounge:

Is it windowless? Showers? Is it as dated as the MNL or KUL ones?

Hi BigTop,

It is windowless (apart from the sliding glass entrance doors!).

There are toilets, but they are very basic and, as there is only one male and one female toilet, there can be quite a queue at busy times. (There is a very large public toilet about 20 metres away outside the lounge).

Sadly no showers. Probably because PER doesn't get many transit passengers.

Some people might call it small, but I prefer the term "cosy"

I can't compare with MNL or KUL as I have never been to those. But here are some pictures of PER. Maybe they will help you to decide for yourself.

The entrance (Taken when it was closed! It only opens 3hrs prior to SQ departures, of which there are 3-4 per day).



Inside. The main seating and food service area.



Computer area.



Secondary seating and food areas.

Certainly looks better than the KUL one.

The KUL SKL is not dated as it has had a refurb, it's just ridiculously small. PER is much bigger, but as DinkumDave says it has no windows, like a number of SKL's.

Anyone else notice the MI pictures above the computers? Hm...
