SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Thanks for that

Ive been pricing up some PE flights for late this year and was a bit disappointed by the price, considering the product is unseen and J was approx. $1300 more than PE.

I put a value on my comfort and happy to budget a bit more for J but plan on sneaking back to check out PE.

Just had a great experience with Angie from SQ customer centre I thought worth sharing. I needed to book an infant seat for our son for our F flights next month MEL-HKG and NRT-MEL. We had booked our tickets as one-way for both. The quote for the infant seat for both was an eye watering $1900 SGD. After wincing, I coughed up the credit card details and reasoned that our tickets were pretty cheap so I shouldn't complain too much. A few hours later, I received a call from Angie, saying she thought the infant seat was very expensive and had done some research and could change it so that the price was $660 SGD and was I okay with that change? Hell yeah! New ticket issued and now more spending money for the trip! Excellent work Angie!!!

What is an infant seat in F? is that the bassinet? or an actual F seat that adults use?

 

[LadyC]

The bassinet, not a separate seat. He is usually on my lap as he hates the bassinet.

 

[ninja-tim]

Ah ok. What's the age limit for bassinets before you have to purchase a full seat?

 

[Eggsbenedict]

Ah ok. What's the age limit for bassinets before you have to purchase a full seat?

Age is 2. But most babies are not fitting in it up to that long. Either way it's considered a infant in lap, if you get a bassinet its a bonus.

Managed to get on new F from SYD in May, will have to report back.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Might be on new F Mar 31 - still trying to decide - dep SIN 21:15 so will be mostly sleep - damn shame on timing.

 

[LadyC]

New F is the 777-300ER? But not all? How can you tell which ones?

227 / 228 77WN (New fit out) - 237 / 238 77W (Std F - older fit out) as it stands at moment - well I think this is current situation.

I spoke to KF yesterday - tried to talk to Angie but they could not locate her without an ext number - I think up to 50 staff manning phones in KF call ctr both day and night shifts - anyways rep I spoke to did clarify that on Mar 31 227 scheduled 77WN - not sure if 77WN in service on SIN-MEL route - was originally slated for latish March but don't actually know the date.

 

[LadyC]

Thanks! Flying out on 238 and back on 227 next month so will be able to confirm.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I should be able to confirm on Mar 31 for you - thinking that is how I'll proceed - much to disgust of infinity.

New 77WN plane 9V-SNA landed in SIN late last week. It is the plane that frees up one of the others to take on the MEL route. Usually a few days of testing where it is subbed in as a late equipment change, usually the shorter routes, before it enters full service. 31 Mar looking good CE

FWIW last 2 days I have been in contact with KF office in SIN and both days tried to get onto LadyC's Angie but no luck - I did get an Ext No for an Angela who I will try to contact with at some point in time. Spoke to Roy today who was very good - I'll give him a few more 'laps of the paddock' before elevating him to 'Contact Legend' status.
