Sorry my bad.I am reporting this first hand. It's clunky.
However in saying this, I've only flown sq first a heap and never biz so unsure if 777 is the same table.

The desk has changed ?
Was it not previously a stand up desk ?
100% correct - there WAS a departure board mounted on wall where the 2 pictures now hang - it was removed last Thur Oct 13 - so there is absolutely zero visual indication of flt deps / gates / delays / gate changes etc - you now must go seek out SQ staff member on duty to ascertain any info.Wasn't there a departure board behind the desk?

SQ Lounge staff adamant removal was not an SQ initiative rather Changi Airport Group who have decreed dep board no longer warranted in TPR and would not be maintained so they removed it. SQ lease this space and in no way own it - clearly little control over it also - this is madness in the extreme.
Dep boards still exist at entry to SKL F and J Lounges but not TPR - go figure - I will certainly be sending off an expression of my utter disatisfaction in the strongest terms with this action to [email protected] - I respectfully request as many as possible please do the same - it is lunacy.
You can now get your suit pressed in TPR but you cannot find out your flt dep time / gate etc without physically seeking out a SQ staff member who are not always manning desk at entrance.
Top left hand corner of Voucher would prolly give that away!I think coupon can only be spent on-board.

Absolutely OK - provided you are holding arr and dep BPs as you will be you can access as many times as you wish - the type of plan you are contemplating is nothing new and is often followed by other pax.I know that R travellers can utilise TPR at will, but I am wondering how far I can stretch the friendship. I land at about midnight so will head there for a nightcap before catching some zzzs in one of the transit hotels. I then plan to breakfast in TPR before heading into town to meet friends. Lastly, when I return to SIA later that evening I intend to return for my third visit before flying out 23 hours and 50 minutes after arriving.
Too much?
Yes that will not be a prob - SQ R / F pax are Kings and Queens in SQ staff eyes - just notify F checkin staff you have been socialising together and they will readily accomodate your friend. You can also invite your friend to join you in SKL F Lounge but not into TPR.Supplementary question - A friend will be flying SIN-ADL in Y the same evening as I fly out to CDG. Is she able to check-in with me at the F/R check in area?
Thanks CE. I don't think she has set foot in an airline lounge before, so she will be very spoilt. Her sister is travelling with me to CDG but on VN in J so she gets to visit a different lounge.Absolutely OK - provided you are holding arr and dep BPs as you will be you can access as many times as you wish - the type of plan you are contemplating is nothing new and is often followed by other pax.

You may not need the transit hotel depending on your body clock from your point of departure. We just grabbed a nap on the couches or as I recall in one of the meeting room arrangements in the TPR.I land at about midnight so will head there for a nightcap before catching some zzzs in one of the transit hotels.
