Show kitchen magic and rotating menus in Changi's most spacious business class lounge

About this 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.

Quiet areasThe rest area is significantly calmer than the dining section near the show kitchen

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.

Food & drink

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.

Must tryThe laksa is the permanent anchor dish — whichever version is running (seafood or chicken), it's always well-executed. Then explore whatever the current rotating menu offers from the show kitchen.

Insider tips

Make the most of it.

01

Check the opening hours for your specific day of travel — they vary and some mornings the lounge is completely closed

02

The show kitchen menu rotates every two weeks, so ask staff what's currently featured before ordering

03

Head to the rest area away from the show kitchen if you want quiet — the dining section has more energy and noise

04

Try the Australian sparkling wine — the wine program is a genuine point of pride and better than most Business Class offerings

05

If you have oneworld Emerald status, consider visiting the adjacent Qantas First Lounge instead for Neil Perry's a la carte dining
