Ah, no wonder! I saw the SQ logo at the bottom of the escalator up to the BA lounge yesterday in MXP and my heart jumped at the thought of there being a SKL there! But it wasn't to be!

[LukeGT]

Jhm, please note that BA lounge is the best one in MXP... TG gives you access to a very awful lounge
So ... BA : MXP = SKL : SIN
LOL

Additional Pictures

Lots of pictures had been posted prior. What the heck, will add more.
Yes, SQ uses this BA Lounge for its pax. I was in here because I was flying on BA, and met two SQ staff at the front area. Straits Times are prominently displayed.
There are two areas: to the left of the reception desk, and to the right behind the desk.
Two buffet food/drinks counter. The one to the right is smaller, but when I was there, the coffee machine here was working, but not at the other counter.
Smoking room: Yes
Shower: No

I've haven't been there recently but just to mention that I read on TOF that the BA lounge no longer looks like the above picture - it's been reduced in size by half.

Did not notice anything different than before end of january. Two lounges each with its own bar/buffet area and the reception/toilets area in between. Quite a nice lounge but not very business-oriented in terms of facilities.

I've been there at the end of january and the BA lounge was as usual....

Post yesterday from another place:

BA's Malpensa lounge always used to be one of the nicer ones...quite large, with two distinct areas, one of which I'm sure used to look out onto the apron.

But when I was there the other day, it's been chopped in two. The nicer half (the one that used to look out onto the apron) has been walled off (and doesn't seem to be used by anyone).

It's a shame. The lounge isn't bad now , but it's a retrograde step and hopefully not one that is going to be repeated elsewhere or become a habit.... Is this more WW cost cutting?!

[jhm]

You are so right, RoseFPS, the lounge used to have two distinct areas, right and left, and the right hand side looked out over the tarmac. Shame they've walled that part off - it was the nicer, more open area of the lounge! I guess with loss of LCY flights, they might be cost cutting - or perhaps they're closing half for upgrade to Galleries?

Greetings from BA lounge in MXP.
Sadly i must confirm that now the BA lounge has been resized. Only the wing of the left-hand side is still open.

Ok.. so they are using the left hand side part. What is the plan for the right one? The new AZ Lounge?
