Originally posted by Short Final View PostNice surprise today, SQ 959 being served by 77W instead of those ratty old 773s. Anyone know why?
One positive new development for PPS members at the new terminal is that they board strictly by groups. When flying eco as PPS, this means you get to your seat (and empty overhead bins) way before others.
But the queue system is not optimal (or rather, the overall gate design is poor). All pax (including F/J pax) have to queue in the open passageway as airport buggys force their way through to Gates 1-4.

We've seen a couple of cases where it was operated by 9V-SWT in place of a 773 in maintenance and once that 773 returned to service, SWT went in for its maintenance/cabin refit.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostThe only reason I would think CGK would use a 77W is because one of the 773 could be out for maintenance. Apparently, it wasn't just SQ958/959 (Operated by 9V-SWV). It was also SQ950/953, operated by 9V-SWG and SQ966/967 operated by 9V-SWV which did the earlier afternoon CGK flight.

Plaza Premium Lounge for *G Y passengers
Originally posted by SporeAir View PostAny idea if USD15/20 meal voucher is still given to Y pax on partner *G at T3 CGK?
Or nothing at all...
The invitation is printed on the boarding pass, so they no longer issue a separate invitation paper.
The lounge (and the gate area) is a bit warm for my liking, but it is a huge improvement over the Pura Indah situation at Terminal 2, so I'm happy it turned out this way.
I asked the check in staff about the voucher, and it's still available if you want it. I doubt they really check if you want to use both the voucher and the lounge.

Originally posted by marcyeo View Posti was there and i found it warm too. the only cool place was near the end corner where the food is
Yeah I have to agree now that T3 is terrible.
Arriving on SQ968 and it was damn long walk with slow travelator.....
I was having a chat with the check in staff, she told me that now they need 60 minutes (instead of 40 min before) as the aircraft can be very far. There is no guarantee gate (even AP2 promised them that). The last flight (SQ968) will be most likely ended in Gate 1 (the furthest) as they have to compete with other flights and they will lose out as they will park over night there.....
Other flights most likely gate 7-8 but not guarantee also....
Plaza Premium Lounge is nicer than Puri Indah as it is newer. But it is very long lounge due to bad airport design I guess. Food is eatable but so so.
I was told by the staff Plaza lounge is opening up larger (and nicer?) lounge soon... According to him most likely airlines will use that lounge instead the current one.
BTW, I did not get an invitation to the lounge in my BP. I just show my gold card and they let me in.

Originally posted by davidfusq View PostWhere will this lounge be located? Would be good if it is next to the Garuda Lounge which sees a few restaurants closed already. This way premium passengers would not need to back track as in the case now. Maybe this way, KFEG/*G pax maybe restricted to the existing lounge. Or passengers departing from gate 1-5 may choose to use the existing lounge.visit my blog
