KrisFlyer Gold Lounge Review – Changi Airport Terminal 2 | Air India Maharaja Gold Access in Economy

 If you are flying out of Singapore’s world-class Changi Airport Terminal 2 and hold Star Alliance Gold status, the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge is one of the best airport lounges you can experience—especially if you are flying in economy class.

On my recent trip from Singapore to Mumbai on Air India, I had the privilege of accessing this premium lounge thanks to my Air India Maharaja Gold status, which offers complimentary entry to all Star Alliance Gold lounges worldwide. And trust me, this visit was special.

⭐ Why I Could Access the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge on an Economy Ticket

Many travelers don’t realise this, but Star Alliance Gold members are invited to the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge irrespective of their travel class.

Since I hold Maharaja Gold status with Air India, I was able to access the lounge even though my flight to Mumbai was in economy.

This is one of the biggest perks of Star Alliance Gold status—premium lounge access everywhere.

✈️ Smooth & Hassle-Free Check-In

My Air India check-in at Changi Airport T2 was extremely quick and efficient.

Within minutes, I was handed my boarding pass along with my lounge invitation, and I headed straight to the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge—one of the most popular lounges for Star Alliance elites.

🛋️ First Impressions of the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge – Spacious, Calm & Beautiful

Since I visited in the morning hours, the lounge was almost empty, giving me a peaceful and relaxing start to the day.

The lounge is impressively spacious, with:

• Comfortable lounge chairs
• Quiet seating zones perfect for relaxing before your flight
• Clean, modern interiors
• Dedicated workspaces
• Plenty of charging points

The ambiance is exactly what you expect from Singapore Airlines – classy, calm, and exceptionally well maintained.

You also get flight announcements inside the lounge, so you don’t need to worry about missing your boarding call.

🥗 Food & Drinks – Limited Veg Options, But Outstanding Taste

As a vegetarian, food options can sometimes be a concern. At the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge, there was just one Indian vegetarian option the morning I visited—Idly with Sambar.

But honestly, it turned out to be one of the best idly & sambar dishes I've ever tasted outside India.

Fresh, soft, warm, and perfectly seasoned—pure South Indian comfort food!

I also tried their vegan chocolate oat milk, which was surprisingly good and refreshing.

Tea, coffee, soft drinks, bakery items, and other breakfast items were also available.

🧼 Cleanliness & Maintenance – Truly World-Class

Like everything at Changi Airport, the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge is spotless.

The staff were actively maintaining the food counters and seating areas, making sure the lounge stays pristine throughout.

This attention to detail truly elevated the experience.

🌟 My Final Review – A Premium Lounge Experience Worth Trying

My visit to the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge at Changi Airport Terminal 2 was nothing short of amazing.

Whether it was the calm atmosphere, the comfortable seating, the high-quality food, or the warm hospitality, the entire experience felt premium.

For anyone who:

• Holds Star Alliance Gold
• Has Air India Maharaja Gold status
• Is flying economy from Singapore Changi Airport

…this lounge is absolutely worth a visit.

Even with limited vegetarian options, the food exceeded expectations, and the lounge gave me the perfect start to my journey back to Mumbai.
