Singapore Airlines has just unveiled plans to give its Changi Airport Terminal 2 lounges a top‑to‑bottom makeover, investing S$45 million to bring the famed “Terminal 3 experience” over to T2.
Beginning 15 April 2025, travellers passing through Singapore’s older terminal can expect progressively rolled‑out upgrades—wrapping up around mid‑2027—that add 50 percent more space and a suite of premium touches lifted straight from the airline’s flagship lounges.
From the moment you step into the new First Class SilverKris Lounge, you’ll notice the dramatic transformation: soaring ceilings, floor‑to‑ceiling windows and an airy layout that feels more like a serene sanctuary than an airport waiting area.
The bar has been reimagined as a true social hub, serving barista‑style coffees by day and bespoke cocktails by night, while live cooking stations dish up rotating spreads of Singaporean, wider Asian and Western delicacies. A self‑service buffet—now matching the breadth of the Terminal 3 offering—ensures you’ll never go hungry between flights.
If the bar is anything like Cathay Pacific's The Pier First Class Lounge in Hong Kong, it will certainly be a game-changer.
Meanwhile, the Business Class SilverKris Lounge grows by nearly a third, with purpose‑built zones for work, rest and play. You’ll find quiet pods with ergonomic recliners for a power nap, sofa bays and wingback chairs ideal for informal meetings, plus productivity pods if you need a focused workspace.
When hunger strikes, an expanded buffet shines with both local and international favourites, while a full‑service bar transitions from morning espresso to evening signature cocktails in true SIA style.
For KrisFlyer Gold Elite and Star Alliance Gold members, the lounge you thought you knew is doubling in capacity. New seating configurations—from plush armchairs to communal dining tables—and the long‑awaited addition of in‑lounge restrooms and private shower suites mean you can arrive refreshed and ready for your next flight. It’s premium access, remastered for those who value both convenience and comfort.
To keep disruption to a minimum, the project is being delivered in carefully phased stages: the First Class lounge kicks off in April 2025 with completion by Q4 2025, Business Class follows from late 2025 to early 2027, and the Gold lounge wraps up by mid‑2027.
That way, every traveller—whether tucked into the quiet corners of First Class or grabbing a quick coffee before a red‑eye—will always have a polished space to call their own.
Final Thoughts
With this bold investment, Singapore Airlines isn’t just refurbishing spaces; it’s reinforcing its reputation for hospitality that starts well before take‑off.
By transplanting the best of Terminal 3’s award‑winning lounges into T2, SIA ensures that passengers flying economy, business or first class through this gateway enjoy an end‑to‑end experience worthy of the “world’s best airport.” If you’ve got a layover in Terminal 2 over the next couple of years, prepare to be wowed every step of the way.
