Some teaser preview of T3's SKL and First Class Check-In
















N.B: For those of you who are concerned about windows, New SKL will certainly have it...!!!!

Not seeing any wow factor.... I am getting the feeling they wont be competing with VSCH LHR or QF First Lounges SYD/MEL....

[WSSS]

Not too impressive. I expected something better than that for SKL at T3.

It's what I expected. SQ doesn't do cool. SQ does safe & boring. Reminds me of the TG BKK lounge.

The Business Class lounge actually looks nicer than the First Class lounge. At least it has bigger window.

But I won't judge until I try it on Jan 14th.

We really shouldn't make assumptions about it now. let's wait and see. The little tag saying "Artist's impression" might explain it. Like when a new car comes out, artists try and construct pictures of what it will look like; 90% of the time, the car looks quite different. But still, interesting to get an idea of the feel of the new SKL.

IMO, SQ has never been competitive with their lounges anyway but personally I will wait until it actually open for operations later then judge it.... Also, If you want "cool" then go for VS with its clubhouses....

besides....SQ did not promise any WOW in the T3 lounges.....

SQ did not promise any WOW in the T3 lounges.....

They did let slip something about God-like treatment, and you know how spot-on that was...

I'd also wait for the first live pics before rendering judgment. Artists' impressions have a way of being off the mark.

Still, I do find this reasoning

somewhat strange. Just because SQ hasn't been competitive with its lounges doesn't mean customers shouldn't expect something better with the opening of a new lounge.

The fact is, customers have had a 'WOW' reaction when some of SQ's major competitors opened their new lounges; the ground experience can no longer be excluded from the definition of a world-class airline. I'd be astounded if SQ has been planning for a muted response to lounges in its flagship terminal.

Wow ....GOD-Like treatment can be seen from artist's impressions??? I think that GOD-Like treatment may be referred to the dining options available there et al...

Folks who know SQ well enough should not be surprised with the lounge designs and color schemes. It's one thing to expect a better lounge and another thing to expect a total revamp of their sombre colors.

Reminds me of the TG BKK lounge.

That's exactly what I thought of when I saw the Business Class lounge.

Let's hope reality far surpasses the "artist's impression"...

There are other ways to generate excitement besides a "revamp of their sombre colors".
In any case, if you reread the other replies, none of them even mentioned colors. You introduce the word "sombre colors." Furthermore, I think the others were commenting on more than just the colors.

Good point.

...Just because SQ hasn't been competitive with its lounges doesn't mean customers shouldn't expect something better with the opening of a new lounge...

Spot on. Why shouldn't passengers expect the ground experience to equal that of SQ's inflight experience?

Thank you to he who passed the "artist's impressions" along to blast-off for posting.
