SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Gate checking, where possible, is much easier as otherwise I have found that you need to collect the stroller from the over sized luggage section and can be significantly longer wait than standard luggage.

Booked LHR - DPS and SYD - LHR with Singapore through Amex travel last week for some flights at the beginning of March in Y.

I can't select a seat for the SIN - LHR leg, there are none available. Any idea why? I am confirmed status. I have been able to select seats for the other legs (with limited options avail).

Delivered back to aerobridge on landing in SIN. Much rather have her stroller than a loan stroller.

It what is supposed to happen.

However I have come across anecdotes where it does not work out that way.

This happens with SQ - they don't release all seats for pre-selection. The flight is probably quite/very full. Keep on checking back or make sure you check in online the second it's open (48 hours before departure).

So after what seems like an eternity - well 72 days to be precise but who's counting - and after a series of tumultuous world events such as ... <redacted> - well it's just good to feel some sense of normality again:

Veuve, nice

Would it make you feel better if I promise to invite you over when we get our own place?

[firstclasser]

Can someone inform me if SQ offers an in flight bar for R, F or J class, like what Emirates does?

No inflight bar.

And Dom - and RWT on board last night - I pounded that sucker like these was no tomorrow. Actually first time for a very long time I have imbibed on 218 post take off in yonks - usually it is sleeping tablet and goodnight Irene.

2012 RWT when opened way too cold - an hour after opening with temp increased the 5th and 6th glasses rather enjoyable - I was only pax drinking it.

Now FTR and if anybody was in any doubt as to how SQ is positioned V other alleged top tier F carriers re stock of the top end wines loaded last night for 5pax:

Krug 3botts
Dom 3botts
RWT 4botts
Louis Latour 4botts
Chateau Pichon

Needless to say we didn't go thirsty. And bear in mind 218 dep MEL 01:05 and arr SIN 05:45. Apparently for daytime flts they get serious and load up big time!

 

[firstclasser]

I'm planning a trip next year with KF points to Europe return in R/F class.
Shame about the lack of inflight bar, as I thought that's a good and easy way to meet and socialize with fellow pax...not the end of the world!

Will you be flying solo firstclasser - I have onot ever had 1 exp on EK with their bar - totally underwhelming on that flt - for the hour I was at the bar I was only pax there - and they had no Dom at bar / Moët only - dude had to run down to F to get me a glass - totally took any fun factor out of it.

I love the bar on VA - have had some fabulous exps there - I guess if SQ did have bars no doubt I would try them but not having them is no great downer IMHO.

I'll be flying with my girl friend, but considering a flight from SIN to CDG is 14 hours, I think having the opportunity to meet some other pax on the flight will be refreshing. I must say, I've never flown F class in EK either, but just assumed it will be a bar that is buzzing...apparently not!

Crikey - forget the bar mate - grab 3C/3D or 2C/2D - slide the doors closed - pull down the blinds and proceed to join that exclusive club that not all get to access - mind you you cannot lay back and have a smoke afterwards! Then both of you can proceed to giggle your way through a bottle of Krug! Anyways if they had a bar you might get stuck with guys like infinity and cove - you'll be back in your double Suite pronto!

:mrgreen: I was waiting to see what level of privacy you get with these suites, so thanks for answering that for me! haha
Any worries I had with the lack of bar have now evaporated

The suites offer limited privacy... you are not protected from anything more than a passing glance (there are various vantage points into the suites for the crew to check on the health, safety and wellbeing of their passengers inside )
