Singapore Airlines reopens Sydney lounges

Singapore Airlines’ Sydney SilverKris Lounge rolled up the shutters this weekend after a two-week refresh, and are once again welcoming business and first class passengers on SQ and other Star Alliance airlines, along with eligible frequent flyers. Visitors will notice a dedicated bar and barista counter, while the carpet and furniture has all being replaced “to align with some of the latest lounge products,” according to SQ. While this was more of a refresh than an extensive refurbishment, it’s still welcome, given that Singapore Airlines’ Sydney SilverKris Lounge first opened over a decade ago, in December 2013. This also marked the debut of a new residential-themed design which saw various aspects of the lounge modelled after the elements of a home. “Our customers frequently tell us that they have a feeling of ‘home’ as soon as they board our aircraft and our aim is to extend this experience to the ground,” the airline said at the time. That fresh look was later refined for the airline’s flagship lounges at Singapore Changi T3 and more recently brought the same refined contemporary look to the all-new Perth SilverKris business class lounge.<br/>
