Singapore Airlines Ltd. is opening new-look lounges at Changi Airport following a S$50 million ($37 million) upgrade, offering private day rooms, showers, cooking stations and cocktail bars overlooking the runway.

The SilverKris and Krisflyer Gold lounges in Terminal 3 have 30% more seats and space than previously and can accommodate about 1,150 passengers in total, Singapore Airlines said in a statement Monday, a day before opening the First Class SilverKris Lounge and so-called Private Room, the most exclusive section. The business-class area of that lounge and the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge have already reopened.
