Best current option at MEL for SQ?

[twiningb]

Taking SQ0228 (15:40 departure) on Tue 26/04, with wife and two kids (10 and 8), all in J. Wife and I both hold Amex Plat and at least Priority Pass. So presumably my options are:

SQ
NZ
Amex

Looks like Plaza Premium hasn't reopened yet, and the House (which was great when it was EY's brand-new lounge in 2016 and pretty good for VA in 2017) isn't open at that hour on that day.

Anything else I should be considering? Otherwise, which of those? Ideal place has GF snacks for the missus, decent coffee/booze for me, and isn't too uptight for the kids.

Go to all three, or at least SQ and AMEX.

For me always the NZ lounge over SQ J.

NZ has windows out onto the airfield whereas the SilverKris lounge has one internal window onto the arrivals corridor. The NZ lounge is at least three times the size and the food choice is far better as well.

Except Is the NZ lounge even an option? Even if it has currently been reopened, the last departure on 26th on NZ is at midday so it wouldn’t be open for SQ228.

Good question, quick google show temporarily closed
