SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[boomy]

Yes. It’s been that way for a long time, but not something that’s often published, lest it gets shut down?

As much as I enjoy reading and participating in general discussions, for me the goal of frequent flyer forums is to share useful tips that makes our travels easier. The option to view and change seats on other airlines is not a glitch but a long running feature of the *A network. If anything SQ should fix their system as it makes no sense to block the seat map 4 days before departure.

Last month I got to spend more time than usual in TPR sampling all 3 menus. The food was excellent! Every dish was restaurant quality. This is how a true first class lounge should be, both in terms of service and F&B.

Over time the modern look grew up on me and I love the decor now but wish there was something like a bar to socialise as it can get bit boring after a while.

Still sucking up that Comtes vinegar I see?

You could lower yourself and go rub shoulders with the commoners in F Lounge? There is a good bar there and the dudes behind bar are always up for a chat And TPR staff are happy to run any F & B across to you

Edit: There is also the bar in J section which used to be an absolute hoot pre Covid when Muhammed was resident barman there but he never reappeared post Covid. And TPR staff will still very the TPR drinks out to you

Extra Edit: Pre T3 opening there was a fantastic bar in T2 J Lounge - OMG could that ever get rollicking later at nights on occasions - Staff were consistently trying to quieten down the revellers but usually just gave up

The bars in J and F lounges are great. Each lounge hosts different pax and it would have been nice to be able to socialise with the guests in TPR without moving to another lounge. SQ invested a lot in that space, it should be more than just a restaurant.

Speaking of bars @Cruiser

The refurbished F lounge in T2 is gorgeous!
It’s also the only SQ lounge that still serve PH Rare

Thanks - I'm after 4 x J Savers AU-EU between 18 Dec and 23 Dec LOL

I'm expecting nothing at all between these dates..... and of course fares to be 50% higher, but it's the earliest we can leave next year
