Singapore Airlines has reopened the new SilverKris Lounge at Perth International Airport’s International Departure terminal (T1), opposite Gate 52.
The new SilverKris Lounge accommodates around 135 customers and is double the size of the previous lounge, which opened in December 2006. USB and charging points are readily available throughout.
The new lounge also features a larger buffet area boasting a live cooking station and full-service bar, offering both barista coffee and selection of drinks, as well as a wide selection of freshly prepared dishes throughout the day.
Customers will have the option of working in one of several specially- designed productivity pods, relax in one of the wingback chairs, or freshen up with a shower.
Industrial design firm DP Architects was commissioned to refresh the Home Away from Home concept applied across SIA’s lounges worldwide. The design includes signature elements from SIA’s flagship SilverKris Lounge in Singapore Changi Airport, such as the batik motifs which have been incorporated throughout the lounge amenities and furnishings.
The lounge is open to customers travelling in Business Class or First Class Suites, PPS Club and KrisFlyer Elite Gold members, Virgin Australia Velocity Beyond, Platinum, and Gold card members departing on SIA operated flights, as well as Star Alliance Gold Members travelling on Star Alliance-operated flights during lounge operating hours.
The lounge opening coincides with SIA’s resumption of four daily flights to Perth, bringing the total to 28 flights a week between Singapore and Perth from March 31, 2024.
The additional SQ213 will depart Changi Airport at 07.15 on Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays, arriving in Perth the same day at 12.30. The additional return flight SQ226 from Perth to Singapore, will depart at 13.45, arriving Changi Airport at 19.10.
The three new services will be operated with SIA’s A350-900 medium-haul aircraft, featuring 40 Business Class seats and 263 Economy Class seats.
