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