Notes: My first thought when I hopped the quick escalator ride up to the Skyview Lounge at Changi was that I was about to be scammed. I’d use up a valuable Priority Pass tick and have spent an hour plus in a skyway that’s not really even separate from the airport. But once you’re in, this open-air bridge style lounge… feels like a lounge. The main area is spacious and seating areas are sectioned off nicely for both small groups and singles making connections or departing from Terminal 1.
Food is equal to or greater than most indie lounges than I’ve visited. For this breakfast visit, I had an assortment of pastries, snacks and western or Asian entree items. Tiny chocolate croissants (okay, some Euro representation there too), mini-pancakes and noodles were enough to get me started on a full day of economy flying back to the US.
Wi-Fi: Yes/Complimentary. Speed was acceptable but not blazing fast.
Service: Front desk staff were friendly, efficient and helpful. Lounge was kept impossibly clean by staff on this visit so the entire crew was on their game.
Convenience to gate: This is a large terminal so ask at the front desk what the trip to your gate will take. For Delta flights, it’s a quick jump (about a 3 minute walk).
How I got in/Strategies:Priority Pass. If you’re not particularly loyal to a specific airline or don’t travel enough to justify the cost of a full lounge membership, I highly recommend joining. If you’d like to buy a pass in advance and are paying in British Pounds (GBP), try goSimply.

Using my priority pass card issed from AMEX business platinum membership, I was able to use shower at this lounge at no extra charge. Great way to refresh between the flights.
Great to know Eddie…Thanks! I’ve gotten mixed reports on the showers. Did everything work okay on your visit? (Plenty of hot water, nothing broken, etc?)
Jake,
Thanks for the review. I was at the lounge for the 5:45 am Delta flight to NRT. The food was as you stated and I was able to watch a baseball game while waiting on my flight.
