Big changes coming to SKL / TPR / KF G at T3
If they do ever get around to pulling the trigger that is. They've been kicking the can down the road for a few years now, especially for TPR as that was originally supposed to be done a couple of years ago with it being changed to having sectioned off 'Private Rooms' and should have been done and dusted
It does appear that SQ have finally managed to get more space from Changi so the size and floor area of the lounges will increase as well. The main decision now is supposedly how long they close them for, with one suggestion they could be closed for up to a year. :eek3: What is not in doubt is both TPR and the SKL's are in need of a big upgrade. For an airline that still likes to think itself at the top of the tree the current offerings are nowhere near good enough. |
Will they include windows? :smile:

I was in the First Class lounge at T3 yesterday, pre SQ494. The food was dire, not even a decent sandwich. And of course, no windows or natural light.

Maybe they are just waiting for T5. Upgrading T3 SKL May prove tricky as it’ll impact so many PAX unless they find a temp area.

SIN T3 is IMHO far too large for a single J lounge to suffice; at least 2, possibly 3 lounges are required (ala CX at HKG?).
And here is a subversive thought: why not restore the practice of allowing QPPS into F lounges? In my experience F lounges tend to be ghost towns these days, given the declining numbers of actual F seats. |

If space was a constraint, they can go for a multi-lounge strategy, again similar to CX in HKG, where CX have several excellent lounges in different parts of the terminal. And yes, windows would be great! |

Just to update this with more details...
- Work scheduled to start before end of July - First up is the new KF Gold Lounge, which is moving up to/past the DNATA Lounge - New KF Gold Lounge will have much better bathrooms including....showers! - The current FCL lounge will be part of the expanded JCL Lounge that will also take in the current computer station area and the outdoor area just before the entrance - The New FCL Lounge will be on the left at the first part of what is the current JCL area - The new TPR will be behind the new FCL on the 'inside' of the expanded lounge area thus meaning the current outside views, which are already spoiled by the metal grills Changi insist are necessary, will be gone and there will be no outside views at all. :rolleyes: |

I'm touched that they waited until my many years of KFEG status will come to an end before starting this development. So many showers could have been had... :sad11: |
