Hi Martine
We left Mel on SQ J class on Tue 12 July.
Around 10 pax ahead of us in priority check in and got through quite quickly.
No longer need to remove laptop etc at screening, no priority lane here but when we travelled early Tue evening walked straight up to screening without a queue.
Chose the Air NZ lounge which was excellent, another 8 people in the huge space and champagne and water topped up as soon as they were emptied. Small choices of hot and cold meals/snacks.
Went up to SQ lounge just to get the call to gate and to see how it was...it was packed and ordinary offerings BUT gate directly opposite lounge. The boarding was comical as we were sent backwards and foward a few times by gate and lounge staff.
On boarding managed to get a champagne before take off but it was removed before we started taxi-ing.
Staff, seat and food great on first leg MEL-SIN. (Awful seat on SIN-MAN and barely any rest, non-touch IFE and fiddly system and good staff).
Hope that is useful to you?
