I am on the road rather often but this is unbelievable still the first time I am flying out of Terminal 4. It always feels so foreign to me over here. Korean Air, Cathay Pacific, Jetstar and Airasia are currently some of the airlines that use Terminal 4. I finally got the opportunity to depart from here since I am flying on the free, Hello Hong Kong Cathay Pacific ticket. This is the one and only contract lounge in Terminal 4. Singapore Changi Airport has one of the highest amount of contract lounges under the Priority Pass network. It is the perfect place to hop around. I have been wanting to check out this lounge for the longest time ever. It is the remaining contract lounge that I have not reviewed in Singapore Changi Airport. Terminal 4 often feels far and foreign from the rest of the 3 main terminals. It is rather inconvenient and operates on a different concept. I wish that they had built skytrain connections previously while planning it.

Access Requirements

The Blossom Lounge is open 24 hours daily. You can access this lounge via lounge program membership like Priority Pass. I have an unlimited Priority Pass through my Citi Prestige Credit Card or my UOB Reserve Card and use that to access the lounge. A normal entrance will cost 35 USD. Officially, you are accorded a 3-hour stay limit. You can access this lounge if you are flying out of the other 3 terminals as well. But you do need to take plenty of time for it to clear security and also take the airside transit bus. A journey to and from the other terminals takes about 30 to 40 minutes at the very least.

Arrival & Location

The lounge is located in Terminal 4 and is a level above the main terminal. You can find it easily with the signs. Do look out for the Cathay Lounge as it is right next to it. There was quite a wait when I arrived in the late afternoon and it took about 10 minutes or so before I was helped to. I was warmly welcomed in after showing my priority pass card and my boarding pass.

Blossom Lounge Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4

This can be said as the newest contract lounge. The lounge comes with an open terminal concept and it is semi-opened to the rest of the terminal. That makes it exposed and you might get some noise. Right after entering, you can find some massage chairs for guests to use on the left. This is not included.

Right after that is the refreshment and dining area. This comes with some cubicles and long tables type of seating. I will come back to this later on.

The main lounging area consists of 2 areas. One is right after the dining area and the other is sort of an “island” right in the middle of the terminal that is connected by walkways “bridges”. The latter is fully open towards the terminal. Here are some pictures of the area. I love the private cubicle kind of seating and those lounging armchairs that face towards the heritage area of the lounge. That is very quiet.

Around the seating, you can easily find power outlets. Wifi is also available. In the “island” area, you can also find a bar although it didn’t seem to be in operation when I visited

The lounge also has its toilets and showers which is nice and appreciated. The ability to take a shower after rushing straight from work or have a connecting regional flight is important. This is available on a first come first serve basis and you will have to register with the front desk. I did not get a chance to take a picture since they are occupied.

Food & Drinks

The food and drinks are decent and much better than what I would have expected from a contract lounge. It is served buffet style and you have some Nasi Lemak, Fish, Laksa Noodle Station, cold cuts, cheese, pastries and a salad bar.

There is also unlimited Udders Ice Cream on offer. This is a really good local brand and I am sure the little ones will enjoy it. Can you complain about having too much ice cream?

With regards to drinks, there is a nice selection of canned drinks, canned beers, wines, coffee, tea and a soda fountain.

Conclusion

This lounge is sufficient. It is not superb but does get the work done for a contract lounge. You don’t have much of a choice here too with this and a Priority Pass restaurant being the only option over here in Terminal 4. While I certainly won’t come in advance just for this facility, it is nice having access to it for some drinks and food before your flight. This is especially crucial if you are flying on budget airlines. With security being done right after entering the transit gate. You can stay in the lounge right till the last moment. Terminal 4 is really out of the way and I don’t see a good reason to make the trek over here just to visit the lounge. Transits are also rarely done here. Would I pay 35 USD for this? Probably not! But with one of those unlimited passes? Sure!
