Priority Pass adds restaurants at Singapore Changi Airport

If you have a Priority Pass membership, you probably know that at certain airports, lounge visits can be redeemed at a restaurant for dining credit or a set menu— a useful option to have, given that lounge food is generally nothing to shout about. 

Prior to COVID, this option was available at TGM in Changi Airport Terminal 2. I’d often come here to redeem a set menu, before heading to the SilverKris Lounge for a glass of champagne (or the KrisFlyer Gold Lounge to cry).

TGM has yet to make a return to Priority Pass— though it seems to be available with just about everyone else, including DragonPass— but four restaurants have now been added to the network across Terminals 1, 2 and 4.

Priority Pass adds four restaurants at Changi Airport

Priority Pass has announced that members can now visit the following lounges and restaurants at Changi Airport:

Priority Pass members can redeem one lounge visit for a set menu at each of these restaurants. If they have a companion, an additional set menu can be redeemed and charged as a guest visit.

Do note that you can only redeem one set menu per restaurant per 24-hour period (or two set menus, assuming you utilise a guest visit). Once again, the restriction is per restaurant, so if your membership allows for it, there’s nothing stopping you from terminal hopping and visiting another restaurant for another meal.

With the exception of Chutney Mary, all restaurants are in the transit area. Regardless of location, however, you’ll need a same-day boarding pass to use an entitlement, so you can’t get a free meal unless you’re flying.

Which credit cards offer Priority Pass?

Here’s a rundown of the credit cards offering a Priority Pass membership in Singapore.

While Priority Pass and LoungeKey are technically different programmes, they have the same owner, and the same options are available across both. This means that HSBC Visa Infinite Cardholders and UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal Cardholders enjoy the same perks too, and I’ve included them below as well.

Card	Free Visits (Per Year)
	Principal	Supp.
Citi PremierMiles	2*	N/A
DBS Altitude Visa	2	N/A
AMEX HighFlyer Card	2	N/A
SCB Journey Card	2	N/A
UOB Lady’s Solitaire Metal Card (LoungeKey)	6	N/A
SCB Visa Infinite	6	N/A
DBS Vantage	10	N/A
SCB Priority Banking VI	24^	N/A
Maybank Visa Infinite	Unlimited	N/A
HSBC Visa Infinite (LoungeKey)	Unlimited	Unlimited
Citi Prestige	Unlimited + 1 guest	N/A
AMEX Platinum Charge	Unlimited +1 guest	Unlimited +1 guest
*Allowance follows calendar year instead of membership year ^With min. AUM S$200K. If AUM falls under S$200K, then four visits

If you’re holding an AMEX Platinum Charge or AMEX Centurion, do note that Priority Pass memberships issued with these cards do not cover so-called “non-lounge experiences”, such as restaurants. Therefore, you won’t be able to enjoy the aforementioned restaurant set menus.

Conclusion

Priority Pass has added four restaurants at Singapore Changi Airport, with members able to redeem a lounge visit for a set menu. I personally would have preferred to see a dining credit instead, since it gives more flexibility, but I guess this is a good start.

If you prefer a real meal over lounge food, or if you simply have more Priority Pass visits than you know how to use, then this is a nice additional option to have.

I’ll check out the set menus the next time I pass through Changi (and have you seen the reviews for Crystal Jade GO at T4?!)
