[SIN] The Private Room at SKL T3

[tfung]

I am doubtful to be honest.

Yep.. as expected.. was denied entry even though landed after taking R class... Flight was great though, being the only pax in the cabin.. Wonder how long they can keep this up for...

truly this is a facility of pure eden-esque bliss.

from the marble lined columns carved out from the remains of Michaelangelo's David to the plush leather seats carved out from the first skin of virgin cows harvested during the first full moon of the month. The showers emit only a mixture of Evian, Perrier and Krug and the towels are made from the silk of the ultra rare Ethiopian Silkworm, of which only 40 are known to exist because they breed once every century.

As you walk along the silenced floor which is dampened by a mixture of fairydust and nard, you may notice the air in here is more crisp than elsewhere. That is because the Private Room only uses pure Alpine air, airflown daily from Zurich and then further oxygenated with a special patented SIA process.

So please, come in and enjoy being waited on hand and foot by unspoiled vestal virgins.

If have been to this heaven... But wait... That was in Frankfurt and is called the HON Terminal. LH is accepting you with your ticket booked in F, A and O - like being driven to my plane by Mercedes S-Class...

Have been to the TRP and I think that SQ can limit access to its own pax but should not exclude Award Tickets - especially for Standard and Full awards there is not much to argue. The access policy is ill-minded.

Although the latest changes on the BD programme mean that LH O class flights can't be booked using cash+miles (as they can with all other airlines) and that every O class LH sector will have an additional charge of 10,000 miles. IMO, this is over-valuing their product.

Was on SQ 12 today from SIN-NRT and on a J ticket upgraded to F with miles. When I reached the SKL, the lounge dragon took a look at my boarding pass and escorted me into the TPR. I was midly surprised and she even double-checked with the lady at the counter guarding the entrance to the TPR.

Is this a sign of them softening up again? Not that I am complaining. I was under the impression that entry was only for paid F or R seats.

Anyway it was very quiet with only 5 pax including me.

Zander,

Wow seems really SQ is softening again man...I have a first class to SFO next month (upgraded from J using upgrade voucher) , hope I can access TPR.

[Kyo]

Perhaps on upgraded fares from paid J, it's now possible - I wonder if the other fellow's experience was on full redemption..

But presumably both would show as O/A class. How would the lounge dragon differentiate?

[Kyo]

It's a pity I'm not flying this weekend otherwise I would ask them... Perhaps someone else between now and then could inquire.

[Kyo]

I'm missing the T2/T3 SKL agents already...

I promised I'd attend (of all things) a symphony orchestra performance over the weekend that a friend is performing in.

But it's 70% likely I'll be inquiring about TPR's policy change by end of next week.

maybe its bcos of the timing u enter the lounge, i went to KrisFlyer Gold lounge at T3 with my SIA Business Class boarding pass at 3pm in the afternoon. the lady let me in most probably bcos there were only 2 people in the lounge at the time and was very quiet, same for T2 and T3's Silver Kris Lounge. So if you want to take nice pics of the lounge, go in the afternoon and not at night when it is so crowded.

I thought only Krisflyer Gold or Star alliance gold cardmembers can enter the KF G lounge but wanted to try and enter to have a look and I asked if I can go in and showed my J boarding pass and she let me in...so happy!

The food at T2's SKL Business Class section is really bad and not much variety compared to KF G's and T3's for lunch. The standard is really bad in T2, no more Haagen Daz ice-cream either. KG G's and T3's SKL Business Class section's food is so much better.

[jhm]

You're entitled to enter the KF G lounge with a J boarding pass (any *A airline).

Is this referring in any way to TPR or just the KF G Lounge?

[SQflyergirl]

So if you want to take nice pics of the lounge,

Yes, just take pics. Just pics

[stargold]

Yes, just take pics. Just pics

You mean the SKL T2 fishtank is not a souvenir item?

Darn, there goes my plan...
