For the first time, the Qantas Singapore Business Lounge at Changi now opens every morning – great news for early Oneworld departures.
Qantas has extended the opening hours at its Singapore International Business Lounge once again, and for the first time the Changi Terminal 1 facility now offers a morning opening every day of the week.
That’s great news for anyone departing on a morning Oneworld flight from Changi looking for a well-regarded spot for breakfast, a barista-style coffee or an early pre-departure tipple – though as you’ll see, some of those new morning openings land at rather unsociable hours.
Most of our readers don’t need reminding, but the longstanding Qantas International Business Lounge at Terminal 1 is open to those flying in Business Class with a Oneworld carrier.
It’s also accessible to eligible frequent flyers holding sufficient status, prior to departure on a Oneworld-operated flight from any terminal at the airport, including the likes of Malaysia Airlines, Qatar Airways, JAL and Cathay Pacific.
New opening hours
From June 2026, the opening hours at the Qantas Singapore Business Lounge have been revised as follows.
| Qantas Singapore International Business Lounge Opening Hours  |
||
| Day | Previous Hours | New Hours |
| Monday | 1.30pm – 1am | 3.20am – 12.15am |
| Tuesday | 8am – 10.15am 2.30pm – 1am |
7.50am – 10.15am 2pm – 12.15am |
| Wednesday | 1.30pm – 1am | 3.20am – 5.45am 2pm – 12.15am |
| Thursday | 1.30pm – 1am | 3.20am – 5.45am 11am – 12.15am |
| Friday | 8am – 10.15am 2.30pm – 1am |
3.20am – 10.15am 2pm – 12.15am |
| Saturday | 1.30pm – 1am | 7.30am – 11am 2pm – 12.15am |
| Sunday | 8am – 10.15am 2.30pm – 1am |
3.20am – 10.15am 2pm – 12.15am |
The headline here is that every day now features a morning session, where previously only Tuesdays, Fridays and Sundays did. The trade-off is that the late-night closing has been trimmed slightly, from 1am to 12.15am, and as we mentioned above some of those early sessions are best described as super-early.
Why do the hours vary so much each day?
The afternoon through to post midnight session is a constant for this lounge. It’s there every day to support Qantas’s own evening bank of flights to Australia, including the Airbus A380 departures to Sydney and London.
What changes day to day is the morning picture, which is built around a handful of early Qantas, Oneworld and partner airline flights. The graphic below shows the new pattern at a glance.
Here’s the day-by-day reasoning:
Monday is the pick of the week – the lounge is effectively open all day.
The 3.20am start supports QF256 to Sydney at 6.20am, a service that now originates in Paris and routes via Singapore, having replaced the carrier’s nonstop Perth – Paris flight while Middle East airspace tensions persist. The lounge then stays open for QF78 to Perth at 10.30am and FJ362 to Nadi at 1.55pm, before simply rolling into the usual afternoon and evening Qantas peak. A true all-day affair.
Tuesday reverts to a single, limited morning window for eligible passengers on AF181 to Paris at 10.50am, before the regular afternoon session begins.
Wednesday sees the 3.20am opening again for QF256 to Sydney at 6.20am, but with nothing else to serve in the morning the lounge closes at 5.45am, reopening for the afternoon at 2pm.
Thursday follows the same early pattern as Wednesday, but the main session opens earlier, at 11am, to cater for FJ362 to Nadi at 1.55pm, after which it carries straight through to the late Qantas bank.
Friday is a bit of a mash-up. The 3.20am start once again serves QF256 to Sydney at 6.20am, then the lounge simply stays open for QF78 to Perth at 10.30am and AF181 to Paris at 10.50am.
