Singapore Airlines: New Changi T3 lounges open

Singapore Airlines (SIA) has unveiled its all-new SilverKris and KrisFlyer Gold lounges at Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3. With a price tag of S$50 million for the re-design, upgrade, and expansion of the lounges. Just as international travel is on the rise, Singapore lounges will be ready.

The new The Private Room has a capacity for 78 Suites and First Class travellers and includes booth seats and day rooms for work and rest. The Private Room also has a full fine dining restaurant.

Below are some images of the exclusive First Class lounge, The Private Room, with more information to come:

The aviation industry has a difficult road ahead when it comes to sustainability. It’s going to require a relative revolution in technology, with ‘electric planes’ or hydrogen planes, or some form of jet engine that doesn’t require a carbon based fuel. And that is going to require the development of an alternative to jet engines probably.

It’s a big ask. It will take time to develop.

This move to home grown and manufactured SAF is a first step – maybe even a baby step in a very long road of innovation. In the long run, US$200 million won’t even touch the sides.

I had the privilege to visit the old The Provide Room, and I loved the clubby atmosphere and the spacious private dining area. I love this new clean more ‘scandi’ – mid-century look, but not sure that it has as much personality as the old area, despite it being dated. Maybe it takes a visit to make that decision. Anyway – here are some images from the old The Private Room for you to compare.
