SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[Quickstatus]

My experience earlier this year was no free Wifi in Economy when crediting to VA.

Yes

Currently:
KF members gets complimentary 2 hours free in Y and 3 hrs free in PE
In order to get complimentary access, need to have KF in booking. When inflight click on complimentary access via the wifi portal.

Those without KF in the BP and in Y and PE don't get complimentary access but access is enhanced with the payment of a fine via the inflight wifi portal. No KF number required AFAIK.

Likely SQ trying to increase KF membership with the free wifi carrot. Possibly *A precious gems and VF precious metals people may have to decide whether they want KF on the boarding pass or not as several other perks are potentially affected by the type of FF number on the BP

Those flying J and above need not worry as wifi is complimentary based on cabin

I’d say my odds of success with the wifi are about 80%. The two aircraft types I have problems with are the last tranche of 777s (SWU-SNC) and the A350 Medium Hauls. I rarely have issues with any other aircraft in the fleet.

Would be nice if VA also had a FF agreement with GA, would be good for those who travel dom within IN.
VAi already flies short haul int from ADL to DPS.

Would be great if we could redeem tickets to Indonesia on GA! Flat beds from the east coast are very attractive!

SYD F lounge is great. The decor, natural light, food menu… just shame the wines are so ordinary.

 

[lovestotravel]

Those wines are shocking for an F lounge

Agree but TBH if it’s not something spectacular, like the PH Rare I’m drinking now in TPR for example, I don’t see the point of consuming alcohol in lounges prior to boarding a flight that will have far better selection onboard. So even if SQ will improve the wines in their ex-SIN lounges they’ll never match the quality offered in TPR or in the air.

Maybe that's the reason SQ do it. Bring out the bottom shelf in the lounge, pax start there and hopefully have less of the top shelf on board?

100% correct

You wouldn’t believe how many fall into this trap.

Well this is good news! It’s almost a year since I’ve seen Piper Rare available on one of my visits. Let’s see if it’s still available next week when I’m there…

Truth be told, those wines in SYD F are still leaps and bounds above what we’ve been getting in the Melbourne F lounge. Think Koonunga Hill…

Mumm is good for spraying over the crowd when you win a F1 race though.

It’s not on the menu but you can ask for it.

And even if the wine list in MEL will be upgraded it will probably match the one in SYD which is kinda like putting lipstick on a pig…

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Yes Koonunga Hill gone from MEL F and Max rears it’s head

So tell us boomy after you’ve had 100 rides in new R and your better half finally forced you to include her how did she enjoy it?

I am in the newly reopened lounge at Incheon. It just started back up yesterday. It's a quite nice small lounge renovated before covid like Changi but shut done almost immediately. Food is okay.
Same can't be said of the wines. No champagne at all, white wines very average. I know it only services J but it is still a bit surprising.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

I cannot remember seeing Champs in any J SKL anywhere except SIN - but as always fair chance I am wrong

Perth had Mumm at breakfast a few weeks ago. I didn't actually want any so no problem but thought it would be there.

Henriot / Taittinger NV in SIN J SKL in the past week, for those wondering what they have.
Looks like they may have changed from morning to evening.

First and hopefully last time ever flying SQ J.
