SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[foggy]

Are F savers possible anymore? looking at T-360 and it seems like it is Advantage only? unless I am picking routes that don't offer Saver F?

 

[jbman]

All depends on the day of the week and route if savers are on offer

Any current referral links for KrisFlyer?

A350/380/777

Flat and horizontal. A350 regional has an in-line footwell and the bed is narrower than the 777 and 380s wch have the foot well offset to L or R. All of them require you (or crew) to unclip the seat back wch folds fwd to make the bed. There are quite a few reviews/comparisons online - suggest you check them to see what your seat/flight will be. Pro tip for long flts: take some PJ's as SQ dont provide them

All of this is correct, with one small modification:
The A350 regional jets have the seat in a "slide into bed mode" version, so there's no need to get up and out of your seat to flip the seatback to make it a bed.
The A350 long haul, A380 and 777 all require a seat back flip to make a bed.

foot well offset

The offset /angle looks like a potential PITA

back flip

Easy enough

The A350 long haul, A380 and 777 all require a seat back flip to make a bed.

The new A380 seats now recline to a bed, they don’t require back flip any more. All currently flying SQ A380s have this new seat.

Any offset for the legs?

Any offset for the legs?

Don’t know. My only experiences with the new seats in A380 were in bulkheads, which are great but I don’t think the same as a standard seat.

 

[drron]

But it does depend on your shape and size. I find the 777 J bed among the most uncomfortable in the sky. The pressure points drive me crazy.

I find the 777 J bed

Are the 350 /380 long haul about the same?

from the vids I've seen its suitable only for people with a BKA or even an AKA

 

[drron]

Unfortunately even though I have booked the A380 for our last 3 long haul J it ends up on a 777. Another happening in May. Fingers crossed.

 

[Quickstatus]

May

A SIN stopover is happening in May if I can get the usual stars to align.
First transfer enough points to KF and then hope the waitlists come through.

If a saver and advantage waitlist is available on the same flight, does selecting Advantage improve probabilities?

Any offset for the legs?

Yes. Flew the A380 in J last week. Can’t see it entirely here but it’s where the pillow and blanket are stuffed on the left.

anyone know whats happening in/around Singapore most Saver and Advantage Rewards flights are waitlisted from 10 June to 26 June.
its not AU nor SG school holidays, those start from 21 june and after.\

This quick view of SQ prices from GoogleFlights shows somethings going down in June - one way from BNE > SIN, particulary from 14-17 - bet nobody can guess the day i really need to go?

 

[drron]

Quite a bit with iLight Singapore virtually the whole month, singapore marathon,dragon boat festival as well as a few other festivals and conventions.

So just to confirm I can check in/bag drop for SQ222 at 7am if I wanted?

Anyone know the answer to this one? Can I check in + bags at 7-8am for 4pm flight at SYD?

SG school holidays go from 27 May to 25 June. That aside, in Australia, some private schools have 3 week holiday mid year instead of the standard 2, and also some Australians also take their kids out of school for a week one side of the holidays to travel.

Great crews in the J cabin on flight 707 on 3/1 and flight 245 on 4/1. They took great care of Mrsdrron with her arm in a sling.
