In recent years, we’ve seen Singapore Airlines renovate all of its lounges at Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) Terminal 3, which is the carrier’s primary terminal. However, the airline also operates many flights out of Terminal 2, and up until recently, the lounge situation there was pretty underwhelming.

I wonder what their long-term plans are once Terminal 5 opens. The renovations are good for another decade or so. Do they plan to move their entire operation to the new terminal, split ops between terminals 2, 3 and 5, or stay put where they are?
These lounges are primarily for Star Alliance First/Bus Class passengers, so SQ is being very generous here, esp. serving $200+ bottles of champagne in the First lounge. Actual SQ First/Suites passengers can (and debatably should) go to the T3 Private Room, even if flying out of T2. The T3T2 Skytrain takes you past the Jewel waterfall, so it's a great experience.
Yes, i think the CX business class lounge is better than its SQ peer in T3 Changi
…. but T4, it’s the back of beyond without a doubt …. on the bus, off the bus, so inconvenient, yes?
Flying thru in January, in J, from sfo and onto Phuket. Assuming main biz lounge will be closed. Best alternative options?
True, though SQ still runs a few regional routes out of T2, I flew SIN-DPS from there earlier this year.
T5 won't open for another decade. Singapore is extremely slow in construction these days compared to china for example.
Surely the vast majority of passengers at T2 first lounge are PPS solitaire who can access T2 first even if flying Scoot. I would also expect the business lounge to be majority SQ passengers
Yes, the T2 SKL F is primarily for Solitaire PPS Club members travelling on regional routes, but also to Japan seeing as these flights have shifted to T2. The only SQ flights from T2 that offer F are Tokyo and Jakarta. The Star Alliance F flights are limited to the evening Lufthansa and Swiss passengers, so this is a nice perk for them.
During the day time this lounge will be very busy. SQ has a lot of very long-time Solitaires, many of whom are large families, so it will definitely be well utilised.
Assuming the sfo flight arrives in t3 going to the t3 business lounge and then taking heading to t2 later would work.
As I've said, the lounges will have a decade or so of use before the next renovation is due, so I wonder what their long-term strategy after the decade is up.
Bummer! I used the "old" terminal 2 FC lounge a year ago while flying LH. Now I will be flying into Ter. 2 again in couple of months. Only this time LH has swapped out the 748 with the 747. No FC. But the "old" Business is not bad. No one can explain why they cut the 748. But, I am certain that Carsten is behind it.
We regularly use the T2 first class lounge. It wasn’t fancy but we like it. The prata and wagyu sliders are great. There was never a capacity issue. I hope they didn’t ruin it like they did with the T3 first class lounge renovations. That lounge lost a personal feeling after renovation. Anyway, we will be there next week to check it out.
