The lounge has the usual amenities but be aware that once past immigration, there is only one duty free shop - all the other shops are on the level for schengen flights.
The Spanair lounge is over on the "C" side but there is no compelling reason to prefer it.

No free wifi. Work stations available. The breakfast bar as I recall was pretty basic too. I normally just have some fruits. A small range of alcoholic drinks available. Was a quiet lounge (last 4 times I used it before SQ377).
A bit off topic - The new VAT office (i think is Global Blue) is before the lounge but after customs. If you are wanting a large cash refund & catching early flight, best to get there early. Their 'cash bank' arrives just before SQ377 departs!

Yes - customs office at far left of departure hall (before checking in). Need a stamp from officers after they sight the goods. Opens at 6am. Refunds is obtained from foreign exchange office located on another floor (lowest floor I think), opens at 730am, hidden behind some shops. This office only refunds tax free (red logo) cheques. Global Blue (black&blue logo) processed after immigration mentioned above. Probably easier to do customs declaration, check in then to forex office. This info is based on my travel with sq 377 on 11 Jan 2012

Having used this lounge last month, I have to say that I'm not impressed at all.
Firstly, the lounge, while pretty near the security check is not located in a very obvious place. Signage is limited. Secondly, the food (mostly snacks) and drinks available are limited and of poor quality. Thirdly, no free wifi; however there's complimentary wifi available from the airport but it's limited to only half an hour. Didn't bother with the shower facilities.
On a positive note, the seats were comfortable.

I also agree, a very disappointing lounge. I was there last month and the paltry food was looking quite sad and picked over and no action was taken to replenish items when i was there. Especially as I was flying F, the lounge did not even come close to matching the service level one expects.
On the other end of the spectrum, I flew ANA first from NRT-IAD last week and fell in love with the ANA Suites lounge in NRT. Really outstanding -- maybe the best I have experienced. Great experience on board too.
