Circular bar at the SilverKris Lounge Incheon

Singapore Airlines' SilverKris Lounge at Incheon is in Terminal 1, Level 4, near the Korea Traditional Cultural Experience Center. Refurbished in October 2019, it has a Singapore-style coffee shop serving laksa, chilli crab with mantou and chwee kueh, a buffet and bar area, and showers. The food beats some first class lounges we've used, but it's small and gets crowded.

Batik-patterned hallway and seating in the SilverKris Lounge Incheon

Singapore Airlines reopened its refurbished Incheon lounge in October 2019, and we tried it on the way home from our Seoul trip with my parents. The batik-patterned hallway with modern design is similar to the Changi Lounge in Jewel.

The friendly staff greeted us at the counter. The lounge has two areas, the Coffee Shop and the Coffee & Barista bar, catering to different needs.

The Singapore Coffee Shop

Laksa and chilli crab with mantou in the lounge

If you want Singapore food, head to the coffee shop, which serves local dishes my mum loved: chilli crab sauce with mantou, chwee kueh topped with preserved radish, and laksa kept my parents busy. Even after just a week away, the comfort food warmed their hearts (and bellies!).

Coffee & Barista and the Bar

Lounge seating by the windows over the apron
Buffet snacks and salads at the Coffee and Barista area
Cocktail and hot dishes in the lounge

For a quick bite or a coffee, there's a buffet in the Coffee & Barista area with finger food, sandwiches, macarons and salads, and you can order a cocktail at the bar.

Showers

LED face masks in the shower area

The lounge has showers, a real comfort before a long flight. The ANA lounge at Narita still wins for its Dyson hair dryers, though, and there were LED face masks for guests to try here.

Our Verdict

Entrance of the SilverKris Lounge at Incheon Terminal 1

The refurbished lounge is a big step up: the food and drinks are better than some first class lounges we've used in other airports. The one drawback is its small size; I can't imagine the crowds at peak times.

Don't forget travel insurance. We never travel without it. A delayed flight, lost luggage or a trip to a clinic overseas can cost far more than the policy. Before every trip, I compare plans on SingSaver to see the main insurers' coverage and prices side by side. SingSaver often gives rewards like cash or vouchers when you buy through them, so check the current promotion before you pay. (Affiliate link: we may earn a small commission at no extra cost to you.)
