    Fewer Suites, but larger and plusher coming....

    Totally agree. My SO had the Kyo-Kaiseki for breakfast on our flight inbound - we had gone to sleep as soon as we reached cruising altitude out of SIN and woke up about 4 hours into the flight to dine. I stupidly left my selection at Lobster - all lobstered out by that stage even if they...

    First class at Changi airport silly question

    My brother almost missed it when he was dropping us off earlier this year. Ask the drive to slow down as you approach the terminal and you will see it. I only had carry on as we arrived earlier that morning and were leaving in the evening. The lady who attended to us insisted that we had to get...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Looking for any advice for a change in schedule for our flight next February from LAX to SIN. It appears that SQ11 departure from LAX has been bumped from 09:00 to 15:15 (probably due to the introduction of the new A350 direct ). This affects our ability to catch our connecting flight SQ231 as...

    EK416 Change of Aircraft

    It comes down to your preference I guess. We had a change of equipment from the A380 to the 777 on SQ between SIN and CDG and return. As a bonus we got the new suites between SYD and SIN and return.

    EK416 Change of Aircraft

    Just checked the website and it's coming A380 for us. Not saying anything to SO in case it changes back. Will be a wonderful surprise if we do end up with the A380.

    EK416 Change of Aircraft

    I just had a look at the app and my flight has switched back to an A380. Not sure if that is the case or just a glitch. SeatGuru is still showing 777 though it was slow to update from A380 to 777 at the last change. I’ll take whatever I’m given on the day...as long as I remain in F :)

    EK416 Change of Aircraft

    So...did you try to change? We've decided to keep what we have and not mess around. SO will be happy as long as she can have a shower in transit. Makes a world of difference.

    Fewer Suites, but larger and plusher coming....

    Hate to break it to you but you will share the bathroom...with the crew. They will pop into use it after they have come back from their break. On our SIN-CDG and CDG-SIN leg they seemed to use our side a little more - we were 1D and 1F so on the right facing front of plane. I was initially...

    EK416 Change of Aircraft

    Our EK417 flight outbound SYD-DXB on Jan 28, 2019 was changed as well. Booked it specifically as SO was joking about wanting to have a shower in the air when we flew the new Suites on SQ. She just shrugged and said, "First World Problems" when I told her about the change. LOL!

    Request Advice: 8 hours in DXB - stay in lounge or take hotel offer?

    Thanks Oscarq. I didn’t consider the immigration queue back into the airport. Looks like staying in th Flounge and keeping ourselves occupied with the food, massages and showers are the order of the day.

    Request Advice: 8 hours in DXB - stay in lounge or take hotel offer?

    Thanks jetpack. I was a little concerned with some reports I read elsewhere about the time it took to get through immigration (in a worst case scenario) and waiting for the chauffeured ride to the hotel. And my biggest fear is sleeping through any wake up calls / alarms as we would possibly get...

    Request Advice: 8 hours in DXB - stay in lounge or take hotel offer?

    Thanks serfty. That was what we were thinking. And once we factor in some time for a massage (if open and available), a shower or two, some meals in the various locations and most likely relocating from A to B we should be ready for a good rest when we board our flight to SEA. Most importantly...

    Request Advice: 8 hours in DXB - stay in lounge or take hotel offer?

    We are lucky to be ticking of another item off our bucket list next February. We have been able to secure EK F from SYD - SEA with an 8 hour pause in DXB (arriving at midnight). We are leaning towards slumming it out in the lounge (with some quality time on the daybeds) but were wondering if...

    Fewer Suites, but larger and plusher coming....

    You didn't happen to have 1A on the flight before our first one did you? The tablet was jammed in the holder and the purser had to use a screwdriver as a lever to lift it out for my SO. We received a different Lalique amenity kit (pink for the ladies and an odd brown satchel type for the men)...

    Fewer Suites, but larger and plusher coming....

    It was never offered to us. I doubt that the Ottoman would have been a viable option as it would make it difficult for the crew to provide the food service.

    Fewer Suites, but larger and plusher coming....

    Sadly it is not quite possible to dine together. The position of the table makes it very difficult if you sit on the bed.
