SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

Does FRA security have "express lane" for J/F?

My last trip was mid 2018 and check in took 5 min, security took 1.5hrs.

Security took like 5 mins - everything out

You then walk directly to Passport Control - couple windows on left for EU - couple on right for All Passports - line was 50 deep - but there is another bank of windows 50 mtrs further to your right - wander up there it is usually much quieter

Again ensconced in Senator Lounge awaiting dep 25 to SIN - again liquid offerings in LH *A Lounge simply abysmal:

Nah I think I will await - Krug transfusion only 2 hours away - bugger just checked menu and they are serving Dom or that poxy Comtes

Now bear in mind LH F pax in SKL F in SIN - the equiv *A Lounge for LH F pax - they get to enjoy:

I know SQ have raised these inequities many times at *A Meetings but nothing ever happens

I remember some decent coughtails in the LH lounge? Made by the bar tender present

Just checked - they do not make coughtails - just wine or spirit pours with mixers

From June 2018 though....

The lobster in F is very nice, far better than in J. Don’t listen to whiners about plane food, it can be good, particularly in F.

Agreed, SQ do a very good latte in the air!

Gotta love SQ huh?



And I thought Abbotsford was famous only for best beer ever produced in the world - Abbots Lager

Good to see they got the proper champagne out for you. None of that Krug rubbish!

Am advised there is also now Global shortage of Amenity Packs - SQ just cannot get enough produced quickly enough - flts dep SIN are being prioritized and other dep ports being filled ASAP - 25 today no APs in R as insufficient stock in SIN to supply FRA - this instead:

Now how is this - Crew just advised if I want they will send 1 to my home address - I said no need - they said maybe they won’t have a choice here it might be automatic

Loading today:
R - 6 (6)
J - 77 (78)
S - 44 (44)
Y - 343 (343)
All classes overbooked - excess pax transferred to later flts - crew don’t really know how or when but jeez you’d be pisseed if you booked R for that 1 off exp and you got shunted to F on 325 777

 

[dajop]

you got shunted to F on 325 777

No chance of that happening right now.

But you'd be even more pissed if you booked R and you got shunted to J on 325 on the A359.

Yeah well I tried boomy’s favourite sheep dip also and it’s still no good

Now please don’t just pigeon hole me as a total elitist - I come from the other side of the tracks - until I stumbled on AFF never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine I could choose to fly wherever / whenever in the world in First Class that I choose - yep Covid has put a bump in the road - but to exp SQ R / F and be supplied copious amounts of Dom / Krug / Comtes I still pinch myself every time

But please don’t tell boomy I drink Comtes when Krug not onboard - he will never let me forget it

book the cook

These are just gimmicks.

Ya think?

Dunno - maybe we from different planets - dozens and dozens BTC exps in SQ yielded me almost total satisfaction - 2 a week ago and by the looks of it today will be similar

Don’t listen to whiners about plane food, it can be good, particularly in F.

You’d hope that those posting negative comments re SQ premium cabin meal quality have plenty exps under the belt to make meaningful contributions

How many SQ flights does one need to take before being allowed to comment?

Umm sit in first row J just behind F Cabin when I am sitting in F as Hughesy did a few years back and F Cabin Crew will willingly ply you all the Dom / Krug you want

Well at least 1 - then we are all experts

Here’s hoping you’re feeling up to a MEL-SIN-CDG trip in Nov then
