[SIN] The Private Room at SKL T3

[sqforever]

thanks yiserexoica! great pics! but one question that sort of goes along with the krug/dom thing, is their even a bar in TPR? Although this lounge may not be the best in the world, it certainly looks nice, and as jhm noted, it will serve its purpose well.

Agreed! Roti prata for breakfast, accompanied by teh tarik, out in Tampines, is a signature Singapore experience for me. (Blame my brother for the specificity. )

Prata? *drool* But you don't even have to go to Tampines for great roti prata. Maxwell Masala in the basement makes a good prata (but the curry's just decent). Come out to Pasir Ris for the best. Crispy on the outside, fluffy on the inside. Complete that with the spicy, but not too salty curry......heaven

Did you guys notice that some of the seats are shaped similar to SkySuites and A380 Suite's?

So true.

I thought it was just my nostalgia.

But nobody has answered the REAL question here: Is there Krug and Dom???

I don't think there was originally a seperate bar, so unless they have created one with all the work that has been going on recently, the only one is in the current SKL F. This would indicate no Krug or Dom and instead just the same as in the F lounge, as surely even SQ wouldn't be hard faced enough to serve people in one side Krug or Dom while denying it to others, all served from the same bar.

It would be nice if they brought either back, especially as they are waving 'Exclusivity' around again...

I noticed that as well. Good idea!!

My point exactly. If they're going to exclude award redemption people from TPR, it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to serve Dom & Krug just a stone's throw away.

TPR is not open 24 hrs.

Does that mean the TPR is closed for the SIN-ZRH flight at 1 am. Hopefully not.

Am I the only one who thinks the new lounge is just about on par with NZ's international business lounges?

[SQ LPP]

News from DFP

He is here at SKL T3 right now. He was told the same information that the paid $$$ pax only to be allowed into TPR. He is on O-class for his continuing flight, and did not get access to TPR.

Real thumbs down for who is in charge of SKL!

I confirm what SQ LPP said.... no access to Private Room for anyone but passengers on PAID F or R tickets.
Sorry, Mr and Mrs nickbot, you will not be able to go in and take pictures...

A real downer. One room and no access for award F ticket holders? At least LH let award ticket holders access their MUCH MORE expensive FCT!!!
Come on, SQ, the excuse I was given (overflowing F lounge) when I asked for the actual rules make no sense since QPPs on J ticket do not have access to SKL F anymore...

[DeltaFlyingProf]

PS

And NO GUEST allowed!!!!

[SQflyergirl]

So it's true then. First isn't always First.

And I suppose they think frequent flyers didn't earn all the miles but rather got them for free/nothing.


So now, why bother flying paid F on SQ when you can't really get the full works for it afterwards when you redeem?

[stargold]

Too pathetic for words, quite frankly...

[stargold]

And can I just say, it just feels incredibly petty given that even the new room doesn't seem like anything special at all - they still have a looooooong way to go before they are even close to catching up with even Business Class lounges such as the LHR Virgin Clubhouse, let alone the ones like TG F ground experience/lounge at BKK or the LH FCT (and FCL!).

So, although I sigh in a mixture of amusement and disbelief, I'm not so terribly bothered in fact. I'll just turn up to the airport close enough that I don't have too much time to "enjoy" the very forgettable lounges...

[taipeiflyer]

they can take the Private Room and shove it up their rear ends. petty is an understatement.

[KeithMEL]

Un-freaking-believable................ well maybe we did see it coming a little (someone hinted at it a while back in another thread) but the absurdity is still no less of a shock.

I confirm what SQ LPP said.... no access to Private Room for anyone but passengers on PAID F or R tickets.

That, is absolutely f*cking disgraceful.

So, we've got a bloody awful F lounge, and when they finally open what might be a half decent lounge, they ban TPP's, award bookings and upgrades, even if they are in First.

What on earth will they come up with next ?.
