Singapore joined the UK government’s green list in May and its flag carrier has been able to restart more of its schedule as further destinations have been added.

The lounge’s First and Business Class areas are welcoming back passengers travelling with Singapore Airlines or its Star Alliance partners.

A pre-departure a la carte meal service is available in First while a hosted buffet replaces the previous self-service set up for Business customers.

The new Singapore Airlines Connoisseur Dry Gin, created in partnership with Hayman’s of London, will be available from the bar. The tipple, which incorporates Asian flavours such as lemongrass, was crafted to celebrate the airline’s 50 years of continuous flights from London.

“We are delighted to re-open our London Heathrow SilverKris Lounge for both First and Business Class customers after such a long period of enforced closure,” said Mohamed Rafi Mar, Singapore Airlines’ general manager UK & Ireland.

“We have made adaptations to ensure everyone’s safety and are delighted to once again provide fliers with a calming space to relax in before their flight with us.”
