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.

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

  • 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.

๐Ÿฅ— 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.
