No More Plaza Premium Lounge Access with Priority Pass and Lounge Key Membership Programs from 01 July 2021
Plaza Premium Lounges are known to be a cut above the rest (where independent lounges are concerned) but Priority Pass and Lounge Key members will not be able to access them from 01 July 2021. If you currently hold a credit card that offers a complimentary Priority Pass or Lounge Key membership, it will no longer gain you access to Plaza Premium Lounges around the world from the aforementioned date.
If you are based in Singapore and you hold an American Express Platinum Card or an OCBC VOYAGE Card, you will continue to enjoy access to participating Plaza Premium Lounges around the world with your physical card. What this means however is that you may not be able to bring as many guests in (depending on which card you actually hold) to these lounges.
While most Plaza Premium Lounges are quite nice (I really enjoyed the Taipei and Shanghai ones in particular), the admission rates can be quite high as prices typically start from USD 50 for two-hour access.

Used one of my Nightly Upgrade Awards (NUAs) at the W Osaka to secure a beautiful Marvelous Suite. The hotel is located on Midosuki Boulevard and within walking distance to Shinsaibashi and Dotonbori.
I revisited the Qantas International Business Lounge in Terminal 1 and it is still an incredibly solid airport lounge that is quite possibly the best one for oneworld Sapphire members (in any cabin class) departing on a oneworld carrier from Singapore Changi Airport.

The Malaysia Airlines Platinum Lounge (Satellite Terminal) can be accessed by Business Suite passengers, as well as First Class and oneworld Emerald frequent flyers departing on eligible flights. The First Class lounge offers an a la carte dining experience for premium passengers and is quite possible the best airport lounge in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA).
