Love the pictures! One small correction - access to the VS CH on a SQ Y tix is restricted to KF *G, PPS and (I seem to recall ?) BD. Other *G don't have access.
Edit: enjoy it while you can! I think this very valuable perk may disappear when SQ move out of T3...Leave a comment:

The library room section - looking great! Many selection of dailies, magazines, and some really nice books! Free internet terminals, and they even have a printer. And it's a Xerox printer! My client!
Bored? Play some arcade games! I played Street Fighter, used to be 20cents during my primary school days - free here!

I love every single detail in the Clubhouse - call me freak!
Upper floor, where you can lounge with your own party of people! But usually people who enter the lounge come alone, or just with a partner
The coffee table u see from the pic above, is actually a see through - you can see the pool table below! wow!
*in love*

Up to the garden rooftop - I guess I'll be damn nice if it was summer, and you can chill up here! awesome

First Business Class Experience on SQ (SQ317)
It all begun when I got a rather quik! call to ship me back to KL for 2 weeks, after just 1 week back in the UK. In a way I wasn’t pleased because that meant a hell lot more stress – but on the other hand, it kinda got me excited because it was the perfect timing to redeem my KF miles, before they implement the new changes started Feb 2007, and turn *G in style. I called up the KF office in UK and asked for an upgrade, at the same time did the Book The Cook service – where I could order special meals. All’s done and I’m on my way back to KL in Business, and First from SIN to KUL!
The experience starts here
Checked in at the Business Class counter and was greeted by a lovely Chinese lady, who was really pleasant! I could spot the difference from checking in in Y and here, immediately! It’s nice to be addressed by your name *rolleyes* She was having problems issuing my F boarding pass for my SIN-KUL but did at the end. There it was…a First Class boarding pass, in front of me! Got my Priority Tag on my bag, and was given a Raffles Tag for my hand carry (I was really excited at this moment, hehe).
Btw, if you do check in in the Y counters for SQ, one tip – do not ever go to the counter manned by this old lady. She is usually located at the counter just 1 counter apart from the Business Class check-in. She’s kinda fierce and always gives a hard time to passengers. Last time I had problem checking my luggage because it was overweight. When I offered to pay for the extra baggage, she just refused me. This was after I have shifted and threw some of my stuff – primarily boxes and unwanted stuff (3 times no-less!). And she was very strict. I was lucky that day, as I managed to check in the same baggage weight using another counter later. And today – she was giving the same problem to a passenger again. Poor lady who was checking was forced to open up her bags and reshuffle, but she still refuse! So, avoid!
The Virgin Clubhouse – No better way to lounge
I was invited to use the SKL lounge in LHR. I told her that I would like to check out the VS CH, and she said that’s fine but please observe timing as they will not call for boarding. I was also presented with an orange sticker, which allows me to Fast Track the security screening. It was rather funny because the usual line was actually faster as there weren’t many passengers at that time. A pax in front of me agreed, ‘Not so much of a fast track, isn’t it?’. Heh.
I have heard so much about the Clubhouse, so naturally I was really excited of the thought of gaining an entry and seeing it my own! I quickly wade through to find the VS CH lounge. I made to the Lounge F section and then there it was. An amazing entrance that could be a hip clubbing spot!
I first saw the signs of great VS branding – their sign, ‘Mind your steps’ were in their standard corporate font were plastered on the wall, reminding us to mind the many steps leading to the CH. There were 2 ‘check-in’ counters mended by 2 lovely ladies, both with great warmth, just from their smiles! I presented my boarding pass, and she tapped into her touch screen panels, and then guided me into the clubhouse. Oh my – the interior was much better than those pictures that I have seen here! The lady then asked if this was my first time, and I said yes – so she was so nice to quickly run me through with all the services available in this club house.
Since I left the house without breakfast, I took a look at the menu, and ordered the Fuel Breakfast – which was extremely yummy. Service was top-notch, and may I say, the person attended me had the most gorgeous eyes I must add, I am utterly impressed with the whole concept, you can see every little detail is taken care off. This is probably going to be the best lounge ever – and it’s going to be hard to top! I’m glad that *G members flying SQ on Y will be able to access this lounge! Phew…now I feel like *G does have it perks! Enrich Gold – wha?
