Up front I should say that I shared a brief recap of my layover in this post. After bidding farewell to the crew after an incredibly relaxing flight I deplaned, only to be met by an agent at the jet bridge that was there to escort Suites Class passengers through security. I thought it was…

I was in the SQ lounge on Saturday and had the same challenges of no toilet or shower. I went to the United Club where the business class side has two showers for use (first does as well but I was only in business). I hooked (only) my jacket (with iPhone in an inside pocket) on the wall hook and turned around when suddenly the hook gave way and my jacket made a loud crash as my phone hit the tile 5' below. Fortunately, I got away with it this time. I alerted the United Club desk agent and after seeing the hook was halfway out of the wall he decided to completely pull out the hook to prevent a fall from happening to others.
Interestingly, the SQ lounge was serving Piper Champagne in the main kitchen area and Pommery in the mini area.
The SQ lounge in HK gets rather busy prior to the departures of 863 and 861 (somewhat close together) and then again prior to 865 and 871 (again somewhat close together), specially on Thursday and Friday evenings since its a rather elite heavy route. I won't say its so bad that you cannot find a seat to sit but certainly don't get enough space to make a phone call without letting 15 other people know your business.
You know if you gave up on this hygiene thing yo wouldn't have to rave around airports anymore 😀
It would've been awesome if you had told that guy "Bitch, first class, so step off".
Whenever someone asks me why I'm cutting a line, I politely tell them that they are in the wrong line and the correct line is behind me. It usually flummoxes them for a few seconds - enough to make my exit without further ado. 🙂
It looks as though the F&B spread at the SKL is at least as substantial as the TG and UA biz lounges?
@ Sean M. -- LOL!
@ work2fly -- Yep, the food spread is about equally substantial, I'd say.
“Ohhhh, long queue for shower, at least 3-4 hours.” Translation: We don't want to be bothered, go away....
Lucky, this constant showering is bordering on OCD level. Have you considered seeking professional advice?
@ GOUDA -- Appreciate the advice, though I see nothing strange about wanting to shower once a day...
Nice lounge and buffet. For the fool behind you in the security line, no words are necessary. Turn part way toward the jerk, stick about a third of tongue out and return to your business. Lastly, I guess showers in lounges are optional, but there is no excuse for not having restrooms. Good heavens!
I think that SQ first/Biz class passengers can make use of any Star Alliance lounge, in which case you could have used the Thai or UA lounges, both have showers I think. I'm making this trip in March - first time in suites, looking forwards. Thanks for the posts.
@ sps -- Yes I could have, though they're quite a hike from the Singapore gate. In retrospect I should have just showered there, but it is about a 15 minute walk in each direction.
