SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

If they want that experience then book ahead and reserve your preferred seats rather than disturb someone who did that?

Some people are able to book 350 days in advance, others cannot do that for various valid reasons. Sharing a double bed on a flight is a unique experience that I would not stop a couple from doing for the sake of a happy pax and a sqm or two.

But what if you book 11 or so months in advance, but someone already has one of those seats?
I don't understand not wanting to help out someone who might be experiencing a once in a life time thing; many of us on here get to do these things far more frequently than the average punter.

It’s not really a double bed though is it? That’s just how they make it look for the marketing photos. Still had the divider in the middle between the mattresses. Are they even able to provide a double bed sized blanket that covers both beds?

On another note just made my first booking on the SQ 737 Max in J...

Some weird blocking of seats though !

Some huge assumptions there. What if the person in 1A was on the trip of lifetime saved up for years carefully researched which airline had the best seat and booked it 10 months out then a couple of DYKWII book last minute and come along expecting to be accommodated?

Could be the person's one and only chance in a lifetime to fly in J

Really good seat in comparison to a recliner you could get on other airlines

Personally I'd like to see SQ treat Row 1 the same as a bassinet row, allowing people to book it as a solo traveller on the understanding that they may be re-allocated if a couple would like to take the double suite. At least that would make the expectation clear up-front and prevent any awkward conversations at check-in or after boarding.

I agree. As a solo flyer I am not able to book any of the centre QR suites which combine to form a set of 2/4 seats. My option is only the single window seats. Should be easy enough for SQ to implement.

I don't have a problem if it is company policy and expectations are set prior to booking.

I do have a problem with assumptions and people expecting their needs to be serviced over others.

I think most people agree and it comes down to how it’s handled. Politely and with gratitude tends to be the rarest forms of requesting better seats.
