Directory of SQ Operated/Contract Lounges

Bleah...thanks for doing the hard work. The SK lounge has a SEN lounge next door right? Wonder if thats better.

I did go into the adjacent LH SEN lounge, and it's tiny and crowded, with even more limited, albeit slightly different, food & drinks selection. It closes shortly after 9pm, when the LH flight departs.

The overall lounge experience at EWR for SQ passengers is definitely subpar, now that VSCH is off limits to us.

I'm going next week and will report back. I have a feeling VSCH is no longer an option...

I am in the SK lounge at EWR and can confirm that VSCH is no longer open to SQ passengers.

The SK lounge is a joint LH and Star Alliance Gold lounge and is rather basic. Food selection is limited to cheese, crackers, a few salad items and cold cuts, cookies. They bring out noodles for SQ passengers later in the evening. No shower rooms.

It was in 2004 and 2005. Sorry, no recent experiences, but will be taking that flight again in late August and can check then unless you are going earlier.

Thanks for the info. May I ask when you last had access to VSCH at EWR? I did a search on flyertalk and was getting conflicting information dating back to 2004 & 2005. In 2004, it seemed VSCH was OK. In 2005, it was only for TPP or SQ F passengers (though of course there's no F for SQ out of EWR). It's a bit confusing...

Yes. I've had access to the EWR Clubhouse even as an Elite Gold even though it never mentioned in the KrisFlyer Elite handbook. Accessed it before checkin opened too, just by showing my card and printout of my eticket. The Clubhouse is before security and a much better place to pass the time than the SAS lounge or the SEN lounge which are after security. It does get crowded till the VS flights leave about 8pm though.

Was this over a year ago? I just called SQ at EWR, and the staff told me VSCH has not allowed access to SQ (PPS or EG) passengers for the past year because it's too small. He said the only option in terminal B is SK lounge inside security. Not the answer I was hoping for...

Do PPS passengers flying on SQ really have access to VSCH at EWR? According to SQ's website and the PPS handbook, access is allowed at JFK, but no mention of EWR. Is SAS lounge our only option? (I'll have 4 hrs at EWR before my SQ21 flight, so it'll be nice to lounge hop from VSCH to SAS.)

It's good to know that EG can use VS CH. It is a great lounge. And SQ values more being EG than paid C pax.

Savage25, you're a star for confirming that. Thanks!

[Savage25]

I just called SQ at JFK and this is what they told me:

F, PPS and KrisFlyer Elite Gold pax can use the Virgin Clubhouse.
C and *G pax (formerly using Swiss Lounge which is now closed) are now issued invitations to the KLM "Oasis" lounge. From nwa.com, this lounge location is East wing of Terminal 4 (4E), 4th floor.
