TPR - The Private Room

Screencaps from video recording, but this was the menu when I visited the TPR a week ago.

Which option would people here recommend use up some 154,000 KF miles?

1. Lock in J Redemption "now" for AU-SIN-EU with stopover (either direction) for 2025H2?
2. Waitlist for improbable saver fare for one sector in First (can use QFF elsewhere), dealing with replacing points as they expire along the way and risking not doing a premium SQ flight at all?
3. Something else (please provide tips!)

I'll be there next Friday and can grab a photo of the menu then if nobody has done so by then.

A photo of the wine and food menu would be great!

I would lock in 1 ASAP personally

You can do both. Waitlisting needs points but doesn’t actually deduct them.

Waitlist your saver sector in First. Then buy the J redemption. If your waitlist comes through, you can pay the fee to cancel if you want to accept. (Keeping in mind expiration date of reinstated points)

Cristal is only a limited release at this stage, I believe it is rolling through different routes with SYD-SIN one of the routes in the first cycle. MEL might be in a later cycle if they continue with the offer.

Yes, TPR is available on arrival from a flight in F / Suites.

I'll be there next Friday and can grab a photo of the menu then if nobody has done so by then.

Just to update on Cristal - 2 bottles loaded SYD - SIN on SQ212 today, plus 2 of the Krug. Not bad for 2 adults in the cabin to get through.

The crew isn’t sure what the plans are beyond the current routes, but suggested it might be around for the longer term based on positive customer feedback so far.

I always prefer to lock in my flights, rather than wait list.

Personally when I go to Europe I virtually always will book one way flights, and in the main will also book with arrival and departure in two different airports/cities/countries.

Last time this was In LHR Out -FRA (But I have flown with SQ in and out of LHR, MAN, AMS, CDG, FRA, MUN, BCN, CPG, CDG, FCO, ZRH)

• Unless you are only going to one city/region, it saves having to return back to where you have already been
• This allows more flexibility, and also means that one can book at the maximum time out (My trips can be up to 8 weeks or so.....)
• If going to UK (MAN or LHR) it minimises if you fly out (avoids if you go by sea or train) the extra levy that you pay for departing the UK which on a long have flight is hefty.
• If your plans change it is also easier to find new flights as you can also choose to fly in/out of a different city.

A while back one way flights also had the wrinkle that when SQ changed the type of aircraft on a leg that you could online sometimes upgrade your J to F at no extra points or $ cost. So if ever SQ sent me an aircraft change notification I would see if it would work. Unfortunately SQ fixed that bug.

Thanks - definitely the plan to go in/out different cities, exactly which ones is the unknown as this is first time to Europe - and there are so many options!

Shame the bug was fixed but not a big deal. I convinced to just slum it in J and buy my own Cristal from duty free
