The Master SQ Guide (Krisflyer, Waitlists & Waitlists Clearing)

have just booked a F from Melb to Singapore for feb 12th, its a 16:20pm flight, and its my first medium haul,
kind of disappointed I wont be able to or will spend any time in the lounge since I need to quickly leave the airport
Looks like it will be a 777 as well :(
Still looking fwd to it,
Do the experts on here recommend anything ? im thinking of getting early for the lounge, not drink too much and focus on the champagne on board, which I believe standard is Dom Perignon/krug, whereas some people got lucky with Cristal
edit: looks like its Krug and Pol Roger

SQ stopped serving Dom after EK paid for the exclusive rights as the only airline to serve it in onboard. Couple or few years ago I think.
F is 777, Suites/R is A380. Meaning you can't book "F" on an A380.
The MEL SQ F lounge is nice, but not to the level of TPR or other F lounges - I wouldn't bother too much about getting there that early.
Better off to be saving yourself for the onboard offering.

I'm not an "expert" but I've taken this flight so this might be helpful:

  • In case you weren't aware, you can use The Private Room on arrival in SIN. I had hand luggage only but even if you check in luggage, if you don't collect it from the Carousel because you're in the Lounge, it should be ready for you at the Baggage Services desk when you're ready.
  • The 777 F seat is very nice and the bed is incredibly comfortable.
  • Don't fall into the "I have to have whatever is most expensive even if I don't like it" trap -- the aim is YOUR enjoyment.
  • Obviously, don't forget Book the Cook.
  • Expect incredible service in the air. But yes, the Lounge experience in MEL is a little underwhelming. On the other hand it's lovely having the Lounge almost entirely to yourself!
