Entry into Plaza Premium Lounge was rather straightforward. All we had to do was to show the QR code on our Priority Pass app and after a signature, we were in. Once inside, the very first thing that caught our attention was the views of the runway. All the seats were facing the large floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the Changi Airport runway. Something that makes Plaza Premium Lounge stand out from most of the other lounges at Changi Airport.

Next, it was time to check out the food selection at Plaza Premium Lounge Changi Airport Terminal 1…

The food selection at the buffet spread of Plaza Premium Lounge was rather simple. You’d have some hot food selection as well as salads. Next to the buffet area, you’ll also find a bar. Unfortunately for alcoholic selection, you’ll only be limited to draft Tiger Beer. Cocktails and/or hard liquor will be at an additional cost. In this respect, we found the pre-Covid selection of Dester draft beer to be slightly better.

Fortunately, Plaza Premium Lounge made up with a rather good selection of ala-carte menu…

Although the buffet options were rather simple, we’d say that the ala-carte menu, especially the Hainanese Chicken Rice, more than made up for it. The rice was fragrant and there was achar that elevated the entire dining experience.

To round up the experience at Plaza Premium Lounge, we checked out the shower facilities here…

Having checked out the showering facilities at Plaza Premium Lounge, we must say that it is one of the better ones at Changi Airport airside. This is because the shower cubicles are individually cleaned after each use and user have to draw the keys from the reception to use it – which means that most people use it solely for the purpose of showers, unlike the shower rooms of other lounges. We loved the water pressure and there was hot water as well. The shower cubicles are separated and there is a good level of privacy as the entire door is closed. Definitely one of the better shower facilities that we’d recommend if shower is one of the main purpose for you to visit a lounge.

The other reason is the ala-carte menu and draft beer that Plaza Premium Lounge offers. The views of the runways from Plaza Premium Lounge were an added bonus as well!
