British Airways has unveiled a refreshed lounge at Changi Airport’s Terminal 1, blending British elegance with Singaporean influences. Designed to cater to the modern traveller, the upgraded space offers seating for up to 226 guests and a mix of dining, rest, and work areas.
The standout feature of the revamped lounge is likely Concorde Dining, an exclusive area for British Airways First and Club World passengers, as well as eligible loyalty members. Formerly The Bar, this dedicated dining space now offers table service with a menu that combines British favourites and locally inspired dishes.
Diners can choose from herb-crusted beef tenderloin or sticky toffee pudding alongside cashew satay chicken or Lion Mane mushroom curry. Premium Champagnes, including Bollinger and Joseph Perrier, are also available, with staff specially trained to deliver attentive food and wine service.
