Singapore Airlines has a semi-official lounge in Jakarta (CGK) located inside the Plaza Premium Lounge. Here’s a review of the both the first class and business sections.
Singapore Airlines Lounge Jakarta Review (CGK)
The lounge is open only to Singapore Airlines passengers departing Jakarta on Singapore Airlines in business or first class, plus KrisFlyer Gold, Star Alliance Gold, and PPS Club passengers (also departing on Singapore Airlines). It is located within the Plaza Premium Lounge in Terminal 3. In T3, present your boarding pass and you’ll be directed into the lounge.
Once inside, head straight back, then turn right, walk through the main lounge (pictured below) and then turn right at the every end–you’ll see a Singapore Airlines sign.
There are no opening hours posted, but it is open at 3:00 am before the first Singapore Airlines departure until the last flight departs (late at night) and it’s inside a 24/7 lounge.
Singapore Airlines Business Class Lounge Jakarta
The business class lounge is a large room with varied seating and a buffet with hot and cold items, plus self-serve beverages (the lounge is managed by Plaza Premium and has similar food to main lounge). I was there at 4:30 am in the morning and there were Western and Asian breakfast items.
Beverages included Coffee, tea, juices, bottled water, beer, and wine…no spirits or Champagne.
This “lounge within a lounge” has separate restrooms, but they were crowded so I did not take any pictures. If you want to shower, you can go out into the main Plaza Premium Lounge.
Singapore Airlines First Class Lounge Jakarta – A Lounge Within A lounge Within Lounge
Inside the business class lounge there are sliding doors in the rear that open into a fairly large first class lounge. What distinguishes the first class lounge from the business class lounge is a la carte dining.
Here’s the menu, with breakfast served from 3:00 am to 11:00 am and all-day menu from 11:00 am to 8:00 pm. I wasn’t hungry and only had a flat white and bottle of water.
If you’re a coffee snob like me, ask for your coffee to be made from the main lounge, which features a nice machine and well-trained baristas. The first class section has a self-serve coffee machine and limited snacks and drinks, but your host or hostess will bring you whatever you want.
The first class lounge has no restrooms or showers.
CONCLUSION
The Singapore Airlines lounge in Jakarta is a unique one, but a nice value-add for Singapore customers and a little more quiet than the often busy main Plaza Premium lounge outside.
‘As of late 2025, Jakarta, Indonesia, is considered the world’s largest city by population, with over 41 million residents in its metropolitan area, overtaking Tokyo.’ So, glad to see CGK’s getting their lounge-game in-order.
Used to love this lounge a lot but next time, you should try out the first class section (not SQ, main F lounge) when you enter. It’s to the right, and costs an extra 500K IDR to enter. Proper sit down dining restaurant and virtually not 1 person inside the lounge, even during peak departure times. Remarkable lounge. Probably one of the best pay to use lounges in SE ASIA.
Does this “Pay” F Class lounge have Champagne? I can’t believe the SQ F lounge has some cheap red & white wines and NO Champagne. CGK isn’t a tiny airport.
The main lounge, although sometimes crowded has a large selection of very good quality food from a buffet that is constantly restocked. There were always seats but the food sometimes had a short line. It’s certainly worth arriving early to experience what it has to offer.
A recursive lounge! Folks should enjoy the rabbit hole of recursive islands that our internet provides.
