  • New SKL in LHR T2

    Hi all, I booked a redemption LHR-SIN in April 2014 in F, hopefully SQ319 will still be with the new cabin !
    What lounge(s) will I be entitled to in LHR ? In particular what about the supposedly-fantastic Virgin lounge ?
    Thanks

    I think that's in a different terminal. You'll get to use SQ's F.

      Thanks, I found out that the Virgin Clubhouse is also in T3, same as SQ departure gate However not sure SQ F/R pax can still use it (it used to tbe the case several years ago apparently).

        Not allowed anymore - you can access it as PPS but only when travelling on VS. SQ F/J have not been entitled to access for a few years now.

          OK, thanks I guess it won't be as good as the VS lounge but I think I read somewhere the P/J SQ lounge was renovated last year.

            Frankly speaking, from my observation the renovation made no difference at all! I would say it is more of a touchup than a renovation. To made it worse, the current ETD between SQ319 & 321 is closer, the result is a very busy lounge. They could be holding up investing in a refurbishment with the anticipated move to the new T2 for *A carriers, hopefully.

              If the new T2 lounge is anything like the new *A one at LAX, I would be very happy!

                As stargold says, VS CH access sadly ended a while ago, around the same time SQ were booted out of VS's Zone A at T3. The JCL side of the SKL recently had a lick of paint and a touch up.

                SQ have their own brand new SKL in T2 when that opens next years, and we are promised something special. I'll believe it when I see it myself.

                  Thanks all for your responses. As this will be my 1st ever F flight and in the new cabin, I will be so excited that I could be lounging at McDonalds it would not make a difference I think

                      This guy's parade keeps getting rained on!

                      Seriously, it's a pity the OP'll not get to try the VS CH. It absolutely wiped the floor with SQ... and a side note: I believe even back then, entrance was denied to SQ J pax, only those on an F ticket or KFEG (not any old *G) or higher?

                        Hm, I had access when flying SQ J back in 2007 as a KF and *A nobody...it was indeed a much better place than the SKL.

                          JCL pax were allowed in and QPP/TPP were allowed in regardless of class flown IIRC.

                          A real shame it ended, the VS CH is still my favourite lounge.

                              No VS CH, no McDonalds, so what ? BYO, Subway then I guess only the F section of the SQ lounge is left
