SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Yep 3 sisters who will share 4 x TPR access between them - and 6 F sectors to share between them.

Better want them to load more champs

Better want them to load more champs

My SQ222 last month only had 2 bottles of KRUG loaded, so watch out. I'm hoping it was a catering issue and not cost cutting.

The good news is I submitted a complaint on the website and within an hour I heard from the PPS Club team who sent a bottle of KRUG to my office in London. Talk about service recovery!

My most recent SQ trip and tale recounted here. How any airline could install such an abominable seat design, is beyond me.

Only 2 bottles per person? Outrage. Wait, 2 for the entire cabin? In 15 days they better stock extra on my flight, as I intend to see what my tolerance is.

Will be interested to hear your A350 review...

I have got a booking on this for in July SIN-MEL, reading the reviews online are very underwhelming, the pitch looks very tight for J. They would have been better to go with the staggered arrangement, compromises width but allows more pitch. Generally not a fan of the flip over seat beds either. Have specifically booked day flights so hopefully the foot cubby hole isn't an issue.

FWIW I flew SFO-SIN J in January and found the seat fantastic as did the wife. However I think the only reason that was the case was because we had the bulkhead - I'm not too interested in stuffing my feet into a small cubby.

FTR - I flew MEL-SIN-PEK Mar 25 then PVG-SIN-MEL on Apr 1 - pax and plonk loading as follows:

[/FONT][FONT=.SF UI Text]Couple of pics first from 802:

Superb!

And from 831:

Sublime!

And TBH I did my best on 802 and 831 to exhaust the Krug supplies but alas all in vain - 'sigh'.

This is the Champs served in PE on 802 I think:



IMHO seriously ordinary.

 

[vitagen]

Is it just me or is krug isn't that great tasting anymore? My last 2 flights on SQ I actually prefer the 06 Dom which is weird as I absolutely love Krug

 

[robtemt]

I think you should lose your champagne card.

I'll let you know in two weeks. But I'm betting I still like the Krug, as the blind taste test here at home the other week was a hands down for Krug.

It's quite possible that the slight variances in mixing/taste from year to year have changed your preferences.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

robtemt what date are you flying? I will be in SIN 05:30 on May 5 for 4hrs.

 

[robtemt]

Possible that the 06 vintage is much sore suited to your palate. IMO the 05 was rather ordinary.

Yep we miss by 10hrs unfortunately - hopefully another time.

ahh so close to meeting the infamous CE... i'm on 318 at 12:35. Am WL'd for the earlier 9:00 so there's still a slim chance for a yarn!

I'll let you know in August (last year the 05 Dom was not to my taste, loved the Krug).

Arr into SIN holding GOLD SUITES BP or MARRON FIRST CLASS BP entitles holder up to 24hrs TPR arr access post flt arr time regardless of pax intended activities post arr into SIN - ie 1. Terminating in SIN 2. Onward flt on SQ in any class 3. Onward flt on any carrier.

This is an 'unpublished benefit' and can not be found listed anywhere on SQ web site.

So I could actually arrive in Changi @ 21.20 venture into the TPR have dinner, drinks and more drinks. Same for breakfast.

Provided you arr into SIN in SQ R or F then YES - then absolutely YES - up to 24hrs complimentary arr access to TPR.

 

[wazza888]

I'd book the hotel as soon as your plans are confirmed.

All done. Ambassador in T3. Confirmation received this afternoon.
