Review: DNATA Lounge Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 1

Opening Hours: 24 hours
Time of visit: 0740 hours
Entry type: Free via Priority Pass from Citibank Prestige Mastercard

DNATA Lounge is located in the transit area of Terminal 1 of Singapore Changi Airport. There are clear directions to the lounge once you enter the transit area. It is located right above Gucci and near the new Qantas First Class Lounge and Crystal Jade Restaurant. If you do not have Priority Pass, you can purchase a 4-hours access for $50.

This lounge is very spacious. You can find universal power sockets everywhere. It looked about 30% full when I entered at 0740 hours. The lounge quickly emptied as a Japan Airlines staff came in to inform that JL712 bound for Tokyo at 0820 hours is ready for boarding.

Food being offered is of good quality. They seem to be Japanese-inspired at this time of day, probably to cater to Japanese passengers flying on JL712. I didn’t like the fluffy yet bland plain omelette but loved the chicken curry and Japanese rice. Alcoholic drinks are complimentary.

Top complimentary amenities:

• WiFi
• Drinks (including alcoholic)
• Food (warm and snacks)
• Showers
• Computers

Other information:

• Non-smoking

Conclusion

I liked this lounge for its size, quietness (especially in the morning) and the universal power sockets that are within reach of most seats.
