SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[jordyp123]

Looking forward to my suites flight out of Sydney to Frankfurt tomorrow.

A380 till Singapore and then the 777 to Frankfurt.

Have flown from Frankfurt to Sydney in suites but never out of Sydney

You will enjoy. The flight time is great as it isn't sleeper service. I still think the 777 F seat is excellent and practical.

I'd be keen to know how you compare the two. Personally, I prefer their First service on the B777 (one row: 1-2-1 layout) to their A380 suites (3 rows (upper deck) in a 1-1 layout, with the option of combining two of the rows to form a double bed). The bed orientation, tv location when in the stowed position, as well as the seat distance from the window are the three factors that I wasn't fond of with the Suites. This would make me pick the B777 over the A380 (which is painful to say as I love the A380).
Great job on being able to get both on the one trip though.
The service on both will be fantastic, as is always the case (in my opinion) with SQ.
I'm keen to hear your comparison - my thoughts could be a one-off.

Yeah I've flown the old A380 suites, the new/current A380 suites but never F on the 777...

Quick SQ seat-selection question.

I understand that some bulkhead seats may open up at T-96 hours. When that happens, is the best way to grab them simply through Singapore Airlines Manage My Booking, or do people have better luck selecting them through another Star Alliance airline’s MMB? I've tried thai, united and air canada but they don't seem to work with SQ booking reference

Used to be through Thai Airways… could often get them slightly in advance of T-96. Dunno if that still works.

View what seats are left on the website, not the app - (Desktop view - if on a device)

Then use live chat as you can't select them through MMB

If the agent says no, try again later

MMB?

Manage My Booking I'm guessing @prozac

Thanks. I did look through the Abbreviations and explanations thread without success.

MMB?

Yes sorry MMB - I didn't know what it meant until the post I quoted used it

don't think so, it doesn't even show the booking

What’s the deal with not being able to cancel some bookings online? Have a redemption booking I’m trying to cancel and sends me to some form to complete, then they email me back and forth and eventually tell me I have to ring up to make the payment for the miles redeposit fee and now it’s like pulling teeth to get someone to actually take the payment. Absolutely ludicrous that this can’t be done online.

EDIT: And what’s with asking me the reason for the cancellation? The reason is because the terms of the booking allow me to cancel if I want.

I guess if the cancellation was due to involuntary circumstances the fee would be waived, hence asking. For example SQ cancels a flight. I’m sure some folk have complained that they paid the fee when they shouldn’t have!

The asking for the reason probably irritated me more than it would have under different circumstance. Finally managed to get someone to take the payment. But totally laughable that I can’t do that online, especially given I cancelled other bookings online just the other day.

Anyone living Sydney North, Northern Beaches, Eastern Suburbs opted to fly SQ from WSI and if so what is the service like. It is a bugga to get to, extra costs, but seems to be easier to book Saver redemptions.
