I'm on the diverted SQ241, flying in premium economy. We deplaned in MEL gate 14 around 7pm and initially was told would be taken to a lounge for a 8:50 re-boarding and 9:30 departure. But then after passing through transit security we were informed to head straight to the gate for reboarding. However, no sign of anything occurring at the gate other than economy passengers also arriving to wait here. Business passengers taken to SQ lounge, I think. I'm VA Plat so guess I could go there too but not bothering for the moment. Ground staff handed out muffins and water. No other gates in use in this satellite section of the terminal and the newsagent is closed. Hopefully we get off soon!
The usually punctual SQ217 service SIN-MEL sees a delayed arrival at 22 31, 66 behind schedule on Wednesday 22 January (A388 9V-SKG)
