SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[MEL_Traveller]

I like the look of it. Haven't heard anything. I think SQ are generally nothing to write home about.

The old pouch would appeal to the majority I'd say. The new one looks less "lux".

mmm… the new kits are distressed denim or whatever, so they will become individual pieces over time while being used.

The contents are pretty much same same as the previous kits, but different brand.

It’s something different. The old kits had been around forever.

The old Penhaligon's kit was around for a few years:

Heads up: SIA's new Business Class Penhaligon's amenities kit now "on request" only - The MileLion

Business Class passengers can still enjoy SIA's new Penhaligon's amenities kit on their upcoming flight, but they'll have to ask for it.

milelion.com

Both old and new have hand lotion, face mist and lip balm.

The new Le Labo pouch doesn't look as "premium" though, compared to any J kit that I can remember seeing.
Might be the "feel" of the surface.

Singapore Airlines switching to Le Labo amenity kits in Business Class

Singapore Airlines will offer new amenity kits in Business Class by boutique luxury fragrance brand Le Labo, from 24th December 2024.

Thanks to you all!

I had no idea to ask SQ to check it through for me - never have been in this situation because of the risk of a misconnect.
The transfer desk option as a backup also sounds good, I always thought that was for getting onward BPs printed/passports sighted when on the same PNR.

This is great news!

Forgot to update this.
Checking through bags was of no issue on separate tickets/carriers.
They did ask to see my QF BP at TPR and a couple of the staff seemed to be informed that I had a QF flight later that night.

Once you get one in your hands it’s premium enough. I think it’s more premium than the green ones.

Speaking of which any reviews on the new Le Labo amenity kits?

The J kit was waiting on the seat ex BNE on Monday but only flight of 4 legs that it was handed out to all pax.
The bag is like a waxy type material and seems ok but has a fold in flap rather than a zip. Face mist, lip balm and hand lotion/moisturiser inside.
It’s nothing to get excited about and to be honest I think I prefer just having things available on demand in J.

It’s like your favourite Birkin or pair of denim jeans… it will age with time and take on a patina which is unique to you. Quite a fun quirky idea.

Can anyone share what the F & R amenity kits look like and what the contain? I heard they were upgrade along with the PJ's

 

[Quattro]

Long way off, but R in July. Cruiser could get some pics pre-July surely.

Pyjamas seems to be the same just a different colour?

Much nicer. Although I have a NTTD Omega and it's a very similar "box"

I think it looks pretty good. Unfortunately (for me), apparently only available on flights +6hrs, so won't be on any of my upcoming sectors.

The amenity kit contents look the same to me - Lalique.
Contains: room spray, lip balm, body lotion and soap.
This is F into SIN.

Pyjamas are the same design, different colour.
Last month it was black with light blue piping.
Before that (1.5 years ago) were a olive green/slightly grey hybrid colour.
Before Covid it was black with a darkish grey piping.
No pockets in the pants. The old PJs in the Ferragamo days had pockets.

I read in the article that was attached that the kits in F will change too

The zip "case" is slightly different, but identical.

This is what the mainlymiles site, linked in my earlier post, says:

First Class continues to get Lalique amenity kits​

There’s no change for SIA’s Amenity Kit offering in its First Class and Suites cabins, with Lalique amenity kits provided on flights of five hours or more.

So if you cannot get into R on 380 for any reason then 96D is best seat in J:

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Never ceases to amaze - the following are most meritorious seats in J on 380 in order:
1. 96D / 96F
2. 11D / 11F
3. 91D / 91F

Unoccupied on this sector PVG-SIN are 11F, 91D, 91F and 96F - 4 of the 6 best seats in J

I believe these seats are blocked for pre-selection. Most pax don’t bother changing seats after the initial selection and I guess there weren’t many PPS on this flight.

I believe these seats are blocked for pre-selection.

91DF is blocked for bassinets, the others for PPS as you mentioned

96DF does run the slight risk of babies in 96A or 96K - also bassinets

Would have thought 11AK would also be up there for solo travellers, I thought 11A was excellent

Edit: oops wrong pic!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

@sodoer when did you occupy this seat on 380? Pre Covid?

I realised just as you posted that I was confusing 777 and 380 configs. Apols, have taken down my pic

Have also done 11A on 380 but now remember it had the annoying angled footwell...

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Yes your pic was 777

So ALL A and K seats in J on 380 have restricted footwell space so just forget them - see here 11A:



And YES boomstar there are restrictions on booking but at online checkin T-48 you can select any of these if still vacant.

As lowly *A G I was able to select 96D a week ago as original flt 831 was cancelled and I was booted onto 833 which was all finalized over phone.

Onboard service still as spectacular as ever on SQ - IFM wandered down to see me as word had filtered through to him via crew that I was taking several pics down back - gotta love proactivity of SQ Crew
