Dropped off the rental in one piece and the shuttle bus dropped us outside the arrivals area of TBIT. Made our way upstairs to the departures area and found the SQ check in area.
Had a bit of a wait but was eventually helped and the check in process was smooth.
Thank goodness for TSA precheck as we were the only ones in line and the regular line was 200 people long. Once past security, we made our way to the Star Alliance lounge located on the 6th floor.
Gong show tonight as every seat was taken. Luckily, the outdoor terrace was empty and we had the space to ourselves. Food selection was meh at best but at least there was champagne!

A boarding announcement was made in the lounge and we made our way to the gate
Sixteen and a half amazing hours in this bird!
19K - snagged the bulkhead seats during OLCI which opened 2 days before departure
OJ offered as a PDB
The menu
Boarding was done quickly and we actually pushed back 5 minutes ahead of schedule
We were off into the night sky eventually. Once the seat belt signs were turned off, we put Junior to bed and the crew started preparing meals.
Appetizer to start with delicious garlic bread
Book the Cook Chicken Rice - sensational!
Made the bed right after dinner and went down for a few hours
Eventually woke up after a couple hours as I was not able to sleep much and ordered a snack
Champers to start
Something healthy with something full of carbs ?
Red curry chicken - yummy!
Choco cake to end
Junior woke up eventually and wanted something to munch on - he went with the seafood mac and cheese
For the final meal service, he went with the pizza
While I went with the beef with noodles
After 16 glorious hours, we eventually began our descent into Singapore
A familiar sight
As usual, the windows steamed up due to the humidity
Immigration was quick with the new automated kiosks and we waited for our bags which were among the first ones on the belt

TSA Pre-Check at TBIT is great because it's almost always empty while the regular security line is always HUUUUUUUGE
The LAX Star Alliance lounge looks great. I wish the oneworld lounges had an outdoor patio like that!
Thanks for sharing
Thanks for your report. Sorry to disagree but at the Star Alliance lounge, Bouvet and Mumm Napa are not champagne but sparkling wines...
