SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[Vanessa07]

Hey AFF People!
Heading to Singapore 11th August.
I know there are so many amazing restaurants there, however I don't have the time to trawl through and find one!! Hoping you helpful people might once again be able to assist.

Looking for:

• lunch for 3 people
• around SG$100 per person (food only), possibly a set menu
• maybe with a view, if not, no bother

heya everyone, i thought i was fairly familiar with plane types and suites etc.

I know its too late, but I have just booked expiring miles, return in J to Japan, whilst i was looking at the flights in both J and F, all planes were A350 or 777,
my undestanding was 777 in F was the older style 4 seats in 1 row, whilst the a380 gets the suites, and as of about 1 year ago, they retired all the old suites, and now everything in a380 is a new suite

TLDR story, ive changed my NRT to Melb flight to one way advantage in F, and the plane is a 777 both legs, so I assume it will be the older 4seats in 1 row style F layout?

Yes, F in the 777 is the one row of 4 layout.
I like the product.

thanks for confirmation,

i did hear that there is no more a380 suites to aus any more?

do you just like it because its a good product or do you feel its on par with a380 new suites?

just from photos it looks like a slightly wider J seat

I think i read on here years ago about the best seats (very subjective)
for a Right handed solo traveller,
better to get a window seat and on the right

but i also recall that the baby seat makes the 11K or 12K seat better or not?
also 19/20k does being near the galley make it better?

or doesnt really make much difference?

A380 suites still coming to Sydney AFAIK.
Also no cramped footwell cubby hole in F on 777

That seat layout looks like the medium haul A350 to me. Bassinet row has more storage but that's about it from memory. Haven't been on it since 2022 as doesn't come to Sydney anymore I think.
Seats are quite narrow compared to normal A350 J

Never tried the new suites, only the old ones.
There's plenty of room, only 4 in the cabin. Very few carriers only have 4 in the F cabin.
Soft product and service is great, like you'd always expect from SQ.

People these days will criticise the lack of doors and lack of privacy, which is unhinged (no pun intended ).
If you want privacy, don't take public transport.
Buy (or charter) your own private jet.

After reading some reviews, there are also some flaws with the new suites - ie. the chair and its seating position.
