Lounges @ Changi Airport


Lounges form part of the travel experience be it for work or holiday. However, not all of them offer the same experience as they vary on amenities such as shower facilities to the food selections and most important of all - the range of alcohol available! Or at least to me...

1. KrisFlyer Gold Lounge (T2/T3)

2. SATS Premier Lounge

A very modern looking 3rd party lounge with full suite of offerings. Although they provide self service laksa cooking stations, the other buffet spreads are abysmal.

3. Plaza Premium Lounge (T1)

3rd party lounge that provide a full suite of offerings. Best view provided by this lounge as it faces the runway. For plane fanatics, this will be an exciting place for some bird watching. Good selection of hot meals but alcohol access is disappointing as there is restricted access. Limited selection of beverages and service staff are unprofessional - rude cook and unresponsive service staff when asked about the alcohols.
