I have pushed the button and booked SQ242 (2F) SYD to SIN followed by 336 (3F) to CDG. A nice long layover in SIN to prepare for the next leg.
Thank you for all the advice offered.

Good combo - 2 pr jarmies / 2 teddy bears / SIN F check-in / arr and dep access to TPR / 2 TPR invites (gold ink in SIN) - what more could a person ask for?

I have 4 x A380 (so it shows currently) flights SQ 232 / 306 / 345 / 221.
I am really torn between the possibility of a double bed in 3C, and the side in 3F.
My gut is saying that there will be more redemptions and I won't actually get the double in which case I will wish I was over in 3F.
I've read cruiser and MEL's comments to date .... any more?
Ummm ........ thread title being SQ Tips, Trips and Tales would indicate discussion here was SQ related - but I might be wrong.Ummm - Lufthansa?
... but was less than glowing re onboard product did it not?

But since you introduced LH MEL also pls correct me if I am wrong but the last TR posted on AFF re LH gave glowing reports of lounge / boarding etc but was less than glowing re onboard product did it not?
How far out did you need to book this? I have gone back through history but didn't find a date mentioned.

Alright. I've read about the last 20 pages of this thread and tried to do a bunch of reading online.
I'm after opinions on the best suites seat on the 388 for my upcoming first ever SQ F (or R as it were) experience.
Current seat map:
I've been allocated 2A by default which seems to be a popular choice, I caught a passing comment from Lucky's blog suggesting he prefers row 3 for a bit more privacy.
I would appreciate any insight. Tempted to go 1A just for the boarding pass but I'm not that vain (or am I?)
I saw a comment in my other thread recommending against Booking the Cook -- I (like most) enjoy Lobster so was thinking the thermidor, but if others' experience is good/better from the menu on board, or if there are better choices, I'm all ears? (Or if there are good reviews to be pointed at, this is what my life will be the next few days instead of thinking about packing properly!)
2A is not necessarily a popular choice for the A380 (777 absolutely)
3A or 3K are the preferred seats for solo travellers - they are the only suites with three windows. 2A is close to stowage space, and 1AK can be looked in by anyone using the stairs (which isn't common).
Book the cook - lobster is still cooked at least 24 hours in advance, chilled, and reheated. It's not same day sea-to-plane. You get much better seafood on the ground.
First class menus are usually a chance to try some new/interesting dishes - can be a missed opportunity to order something that will be better/fresher here in Oz.
Ok you are ready. Krug,icy vodka with the caviar and then go the French red with your main meal choice.
If you've got spare days, why not add a stopover? Experience TPR for breakfast and/or dinnerI'm flying in Jan 2017 HKG-SIN-SYD on suites - I feel a bit bummed that I'm missing out because I don't get to experience the Changi SIN F check-in! But I'm sure the Krug will make it all better
