No more shower facilities at SIN SQ lounge for EG and *G travelling in Y?

[sqdazz]

Can someone confirm that there is no shower facilities for *Gold customers flying Y in the new T2 lounge? If so, I will be avoiding flying SQ in future and will instead fly TG who provide a much more complete lounge experience for Y class at BKK.

I am afraid not mate. There are no showers in the new KF Gold lounge at the top of the escalator. I really don't understand this as there is a shower facility in the SATS lounge that *A and KF Golds previously had use of.

There are no toilets in the new KF Gold lounge either, you use the ones in the passage near the entrance.

They really do baffle you at times.

A real smack in the face for people who fly economy and earn star gold status, particularly Krisflyer's own star golds, who now will not be able to easily shower or use a private toilet when flying a route like MEL-SIN-LHR where the shower mid way through is absolutely ESSENTIAL to me. I am bloody disgusted in Singapore Airlines actually, what other airline on earth does this at their major hub? I do not know of any.

In fact SQ can go and get stuffed, I simply won't use them for long haul connections through SIN in Y in future. Cathay will let me into the F lounge in HKG as oneworld Emerald, and Qantas will allow me the same in SYD and MEL flying Y where I can not only have a shower but I can also grab a facial for earning top tier status. Thai have showers in the *Gold lounges and they are quite nice too. I am assuming Malaysia offer the same? I will use them once they join oneworld instead of SQ.

SQ has almost lost me completely, Thai is now superior in almost every respect in economy class.

Damn no more showers. Guess the SATS lounge is no longer a *Gold lounge? Flying through Singapore tonight and was hoping for a shower before the flight to IAH.

anyone took photos of the lounge?

confirmed that the SATS lounge is no longer a *Gold lounge. This really means no free showers in SIN *G traveling in Y class - this REALLY sucks.

The lounge looks/feels like the KF Gold lounge in T3. There's really no point hiking over to T2 anymore if your flight is in T3. Will take some pictures and post later.

It is really pathetic, I still can't get over it. Changi - the best transiting airport in the world?? Not by a long shot if I can't get that shower I don't care how many butterfly gardens you have.

Totally agree! I'm seriously reconsidering flying via Sin in the future..

Not that I need the shower in SIN, but I agree that this is an absolute and utter failure on SQ's part. Whoever did the planning and lounge design seems absolutely clueless about the needs and wants of frequent flyers. This is not a huge investment and wouldn't add so much to the lounge operating expenses.

I guess in SQ's mind - whoever is using them from outstations and connects via SIN is not important and thinking is that people starting at the hub don't need showers. Sometimes the dullness of SQ management decisions really baffles me - I always took them for a smart crowd. A shame and a disappointment.

Well what about the "enhanced" HKG SKL?? Showers - gone, toilets - gone! Obviously the morons in SQ responsible for lounges don't shower or pee.

Am re-subscribing to Priority Pass so that I can shower at T1's Skyview when I need it now. And even though I live in SIN, I now often find myself needing to check-in without a stop for a shower at home to meet check-in times...

With *G pax now directed to a dedicated lounge, i'd expect the SATS lounge to be a bit quitter?

Haven't been down to SIN for a while now. Eager to check out what's new (hope I won't be disappointed)

I would be interested to hear their spin on this lack of showers and even toilet facilities for transit pax at one of the world major hubs. Does a KF Gold fancy asking ?.

Maybe the decision was taken by the same team who decided Changi maps were no longer needed in SilverKris.

SQ also belongs in the rare crowd that refused to put a lounge/mini bar area on their A380s.
