The Qantas Singapore Lounge

Show kitchen magic and rotating menus in Changi's most spacious business class lounge
The Qantas Singapore Lounge at Terminal 1 is Qantas' Business Class offering at Changi, and it's a substantial one. At 2,220 square meters with 570 seats, this is significantly larger than the adjacent First Class Lounge and one of the most spacious Business Class lounges at the airport. The show kitchen is the culinary centerpiece, producing made-to-order dishes from a menu that rotates every two weeks — a remarkably fresh approach for an airport lounge. The permanent laksa alternates between seafood and chicken versions and is consistently good. An impressive Australian wine selection and sparkling options add character to the bar. Two sections provide distinct environments: the dining area overlooks Terminal 1's departure hall, while the spacious rest area offers a calmer atmosphere. Shower suites feature rain showers and Li'Tya Australian toiletries. The major caveat is the irregular opening hours — generally 1:50 PM to midnight on most days, with some mornings open from 7:50 AM to 10 AM.

The lounge is adequate for work but not purpose-built for it. Wi-Fi and power outlets are available throughout both sections. The rest area is quieter for focused work. No dedicated business centre or printing facilities — the adjacent First Class Lounge is better equipped for serious work needs.
The show kitchen is the star attraction, with chefs preparing made-to-order dishes from a menu that refreshes every two weeks. This rotation means regular visitors always have something new to try — a thoughtful approach that prevents the staleness common in airport lounges. The permanent laksa alternates between seafood and chicken versions and is consistently praised. The wine list leans heavily Australian and is notably strong, with quality sparkling options.

Yes. Through the Qantas-Emirates partnership, Emirates Skywards status holders on qualifying flights can access the lounge.
The Business Class lounge is much larger (2,220 sqm vs 1,000 sqm) and has the rotating show kitchen concept. The First Class Lounge offers Neil Perry a la carte dining and a more intimate, refined experience. Both are excellent in different ways.
The show kitchen menu rotates every two weeks, with only the laksa as a permanent fixture (alternating between seafood and chicken). This means regular travelers through Changi will encounter fresh dishes frequently.
Yes, the dining area section overlooks Terminal 1's departure hall. The rest area does not have this view.
