SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[I love to travel]

Haven’t been to the PR since renovation but the First Lounge has no light but is a nice enough space, nice showers, good champagne, some amenities and a glorified hawker stall where they prepare hawker food to order with other hawker food in a buffet.

PR is be better (quieter, better food) but IIRC, CE used to request the champagne from the First Lounge instead of the PR offer.

Yes please lets know is PH Rare if availble in either lounge

There's plenty of reference up thread, but I'm looking to find what actually is available in each/how they may differ.

TPR is quieter, has different/better champagne and food, day room with bed for sleeping.
The fact that it is only for F pax is the best part. No chance of crowding.
Is there a specific feature you are looking for?

day room with bed for sleeping.

FWIW these exist in the First lounge also

Not really; I just wanted to know what amenities they had.

I now know that the Private room is where I would start, and would likely finish ...

Tempted to purchase a lotto ticket tonight as my TA informed me what has occurred is as rare as hen's teeth.

PR is good for quiet, own pods space, service is more personalised. Food serve at your table or pod. Lunch and dinner menu is quite good. I’ve also asked for some of the hawker food delivered to me in the PR. Champagne a a matter of choice. CE iirc does not drink blanc de blanc variety which is mainly what’s in the PR but that’s early days low stock. They have since put back one of the selection that’s also found in the First. Personally I prefer the options in PR, they also have coffee beans selection if you’re into coffee.

First is ok if you wanted to hang out at the bar. It’s a nice bar.

Wont ever make it to the private room but for the first time since March 2020 booked fights via SQ and feel like a total newbie.
2 x J rewards return for next year as new house landscaping is this years priority.

Good Denali - something to look forward to
Do you mind me asking how many points ?

J Saver was 130,500 KF points min each way (Saver ticket) but if you want to add a stop over, its 154,000 points. So 569K KF points in total

SYD-SIN-MAN: 261,000 KF points for 2 seats
MAN-SIN-SYD: 308,000 KF points for 2 seats and SIN layover

We added a stop over on the way back as the idea of sitting in the Singaporean heat by the pool before coming home to our winter was too strong to say no to.

Happy to say quite a few reward options, Europe and Heathrow as well, but we're going to tour Scotland

Did you book as Syd -MAN return?
or separate PNRs?

I thought you could still get a free stopover if booking a saver return.

edit.
looks like you booked SYD - MAN as a J Saver
and MAN - SYD as J Advantage (for a stopover) I guess.
hence the higher points for the return.

if you booked as a Saver return on one PNR you might wish to contact Singapore Airlines to query why the extra points?

Was about to post the same thing. Although a constraint with this approach can be around booking when seats come available - by the time return sector is loaded up the outbound can disappear.

I have a booking this Thursday in Award Business (I):

SQ208 - MEL 18:25 - SIN 00:15+1, SQ898 SIN 19:00 - HKG 22:45.

MEL has be 0'd out for a week.

A call came in from Singapore Airlines offering a day later:

SQ238 - MEL 09:05 - SIN 15:15 in "First", connecting to the same HKG flight.

I don't really like morning flights like that, but the "First" swung the deal. (I did check, it was showing F2 before and F1 after)

Now I have a new confirmation,, but it still shows Business (I), albeit in 01C on a 77W. Not O as I would have expected.

Book the cook was cleared but when I go into it, the Business options are listed (not those for Suites/First out of MEL).

Do I have a First or a Business Booking? Should I be able to access the First lounges?

Appreciate you’ve already flown, and enjoyed F.

IIRC something like this happened to me many years ago, on a Lifemiles booking. Had booked business I class, but a schedule change meant we ended up on Air China First class. The original booking class stayed as is, because that reflected the fare (points paid). The travel class was ‘O’… the agent said something about ‘mapping’ classes across for the purposes of travel. But done behind the scenes. Not dissimilar I guess to an upgrade where you still only get the base points for the ticket, despite travelling in a higher class due to the uograde.

Certainly have flown ... Now in "The Private Room".

I can understand why SQ aficionados decry the reduction of F to/from Oz - Wow!

I had 5 courses and could have had 6 but knocked back dessert!

Any possibility of a picture of the menu for the private room?

I think they do the best caviar course of all the airlines.

My menu was for lunch. I’ll be interested to see Serfty’s dinner menu.
