Singapore Airlines Silver Kris Lounge

Most reviews talk about SQ’s A350 out of PER, not this lounge.

In T1 at Perth, the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge runs 24/7, which matters when SQ224 leaves after midnight and SQ216 goes in the afternoon. It sits airside in the international area of Terminal 1, so you need to clear outbound immigration and security before heading here.

Access is tight: you need a Singapore Airlines premium cabin boarding pass or KrisFlyer Elite Gold status on a Star Alliance flight from PER T1. This isn’t a Priority Pass or walk-up paid lounge, so budget travelers in T1 usually end up at the common-use lounges instead.

Food is standard outstation Singapore Airlines: expect hot buffet items timed around SQ departures, with proper meals showing up roughly 2 hours before SQ224 and SQ216. Cold options usually stay out between waves, so you can still grab a snack at 03:00 when most of T1 feels half-asleep.

Drinks run to spirits, wine, beer and soft drinks, with coffee from a machine instead of a staffed bar. If you care about wine, do that here before boarding, because once you’re in 48A on SQ224 you’ll be drinking whatever is set for that day’s load. Water bottle refills are easy, which beats hunting for fountains in T1.

Seating is standard lounge armchairs with power points dotted around, not at every seat. Wi‑Fi runs off the T1 network rather than a separate SQ SSID, so speeds depend on how busy the terminal is, especially in the 21:00–01:00 bank when multiple long-hauls leave PER.

Showers are the main functional upgrade over waiting at the gate for flights like SQ224; demand spikes between 22:00 and 00:30. If you land in from another Australian city into T1 and connect to Singapore Airlines, factor in time: domestic arrivals in other terminals mean you need to change to T1 and re-clear formalities before a quick shower here.

Practical tip: for SQ224, aim to enter the SilverKris Lounge in T1 about 2–2.5 hours before departure to hit the fresh hot food window, grab a shower slot, and still walk to the gate 15–20 minutes before boarding starts.
