- As mentioned above, seats are wide on A380, so spread out. Use the cushions they provide you with (including the one hidden behind the seat) to get into the most comfortable position.
- Take advantage of the fact that it is physically possible to get out of your seat during the meal (with tray down), by doing exactly that even if you don't need!
- If you need anything (an extra champagne, a Singapore Sling, earplugs etc), catch someone's eye, or don't be scared to hit the call button. Someone will be there in 30 seconds.
- Don't be afraid to ask for fruit, cheese and dessert, you are not just restricted to a choice of the three.
- Work out which after-take-off drink you want as soon as you board, as they will in all likelihood come around asking what you want before take off.
- If catching an overnight flight, and you don't want to be woken for breakfast, make sure the do not disturb button is illuminated and advise the staff accordingly.
- If in the SilverKris lounge in SIN, and you want champagne - you just have to ask.
- At SIN, If you are enjoying the lounge, don't fret about the words "FINAL CALL" next to your flight on the monitors. Keep enjoying the lounge, the gates close 10 minutes before departure - so allowing for at most a 10 min walk to gate, you can stay in the lounge right up to about 20-25 mins before the flight departs and the monitors say "GATE CLOSING". (Alternatively you may want to board early to settle in of course)
I have no status with KrisFlyer. However I do have a lot of American Express points that could be transferred to KrisFlyer. Is there any point in me joining KrisFlyer and calling SQ to request an upgrade to F or would there be very little chance of that? I'd rather not waste the time or transfer the points if it's unlikely.
If on A380 in both directions, not possible to upgrade to suites, IIRC. If on 773 refits, may be worth considering, but points cost is quite high. Not sure if SIN-DPS flights even have F, many short regional ones don't.
