I flew SQ237 SIN-MEL last night on a paid J ticket, connecting from MNL. I had upgraded my previous outbound flight SQ238 MEL-SIN to F with points, but was happy to "slum it" for the return.
Scheduled departure was 2345, so I left the SKL around 2300; turned out the gate (C1) was a long way away, and the walk was nearly 15 mins. As well there was very long line of people waiting to enter the gate, and boarding wss nearly finished by the time I got through security (and needless to say I was not in the best of moods). But when I got to the BP scan position, to my surprise my BP "bpiunced" and they gave me an F BP instead: totally unexpected and very nice!
I was under the impression that op-ups on SQ ranked somewhere between transits of Halley's comet and apparaitions of the Blessed Virgin in frequency. I wonder what happened here? I noticed that availability on EF a few hours before departure was showing "F2 J0 Y0" (on a 77W) so was obviously heavily booked.
Anyway, while I have always night flights in F are a bit of a waste, I must confess that this was very pleasant indeed; had the best sleep I can ever recall on a plane.
(I am stocking up on Lotto tickrts for the weekend in the hope that my run of luck will continue!).
