Do you have time for a lounge crawl? Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse looks cool.

In FRA?

No sorry, I thought you were delayed at the JFK end.

That VS lounge used to be glorious before covid and also where SQ F pax were directed. coughtails, massage and even a haircut with tarmac views, better than TPR!

That Savigny les Beaunes 19 burgundy was a cracker. Had it with featured French chef's fillet of beef and Paris mash etc on SQ317 recently. And the guest Giraud champers was great as well.

Didn't see the massage and haircut but was able to use the VS lounge last year at JFK as a Solitaire.

That’s why I said pre Covid. Now all gone sadly

Just landed SIN - missed 207 connection by 2.5hrs so:



21.5hrs should be enough time in TPR shouldn’t it?

For brekky I went with what else?


Now this is a plate of fruit:


And TPR Chef’s version of Croque Madame after he couldn’t do Eggs Benedict cause he didn’t have the sauce:

How will you slum it in the First Lounge during the overnight closure?

Will be stumped up in CP

Edit: These are the smaller ‘Business Rooms’ which are usually allocated to delayed pax - not large but perfectly serviceable:

There is continually some minor confusion around SQ bulkhead seats - ie which ones actually do give you full width 'foot room' as opposed to those where you still need to ride 'side saddle' and are still faced with footwells when you want to stretch out and to sleep.

I was lucky enough to experience J on 380 + J on 350 LH MEL-SIN-AMS last week and I am flying F FRA-SIN-MEL at moment so I grabbed some pics of J on 777 - so as a community service I photographed bulkhead rows on all 3 aircraft and will post seat maps from aeroLOPA

Now please forgive me if3 80 and 350 pics are not the greatest and if sequence is a tad confusing - I took these pics as boasrding and really had to hustle to get them before pax took up their seats - you will get the drift.

Firstly 380 Seat Maps:



And seat pics:


Make no mistake - Rows 11, 91 and 96 on 380 D and F seats have full width foot space - A and K seats have footwells

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Now 350 LH is certainly different - firstly 350 Seat Map:




And seat pics:


Make no mistake 350 Rows 11 and 19 D / F seats have full width footwells. Row 11 A and K seats space seat to bulkhead are about 10-15cm shorter than D and F seats and there is a footwell which is not as pronounced as 380 but it still exists. Row 19 similar but maybe not as short - but you can clearly see a small indent rather than 'footwell' but still shorter so beware.

777 so much easier to photograph - I jumped the gun and was first to board by 5 mins or so so getting the pics was easy - well so i thought until i checked them when i was ensconced up in 1A - goddam_ it pic of 15D was so blurry I could not use it - so once we landed SIN I just sat and waited until J cabin empty and went and took pic again - 777 Seat Map first:


And the seats:


All seats in Rows 11 and 15 have full width foot space - book any bulkhead seat with confidence.

Hopefully someone else who rides a 787 might post similar pics to round out the suite?

NOTE: Seat selection of blocked seats on all flights is available to ALL when online checkin opens T-48 - go for it then. But as always bear in mind if you select a ’Bassinet Seat’ and it is subsequently required to accomodate an infant you will be asked to move.

 

[Comoman]

Don’t have pics but flew 787 couple of weeks ago and 11 D and F have the full foot space. A and K do not.

Thoughts on 14 D & F on the 777; too close to the galley? Bulkhead seats not available (at least not to me). Overnight flight

Similarly on the 350 ex BNE, 18 D/F too close to toilet? Only pairs available are rows 17, 18, 20, 21. Although we could take window seats one behind the other 14/15A or K, 15/16K, etc. Afternoon/evening flight so not so important as the 777.

I sadly misread this as LHR, so was disappointed to find only these tonight. I’ll wait for superior on-board options. LHR F lounge pleasant and quiet, but uninspiring compared to SIN.

Thoughts on 14

I know of one couple who won't book 14 if 13 is missing because from their POV it is still row 13 just mislabelled.
