[Flight Review] SQ335 Paris (CDG) to Singapore (SIN) – Business

On By Satu KosongIn Airlines, Holiday, Singapore, Singapore Airlines, SuitesLeave a comment

I was kind of excited for this last leg of my trip as it has been a while since I’ve been in this J cabin and I honestly miss the super flat and straight bedding (A380 why you so wrinkled).

[Train Review] Eurostar London to Paris – Business Premier

My virgin Eurostar experience!

Their website says it all – it’s like pointy end of the train, with fast track immigration, lounge access, and 3-course meal with champagne on board. Why not.

My second time on SQ J in this aircraft and I still love very much the color tone of the cabin, because purple! The only part I was not looking forward to was the uncertainty about getting enough rest on this redeye as I didn’t feel rested on my first experience. Really not sure if it’s the cabin specific thingy (its weird, I know) but let’s see.

Finally getting to try this lounge to check off all my SilverKris Lounge experiences with this visit! And after hearing all that datapoint about how this lounge can be a madhouse especially later into the evening, I actually made my way almost 6 hours ahead, at 6:30pm, to attempt a much more peaceful experience and take my time instead of rushing through the stay due to the crowd.

[Trip Report] The FOMO Trip

To be perfectly honest, SQ’s announcement of devaluation last year was the cause of this trip. The things I do, hah.

So with the intent of “faster redeem” before the devaluation dateline in 2022, plus sage advice from fellow peeps, it was decided that I will do Singapore-London + Paris-Singapore on Business, with Eurostar covering the transit between the 2 cities. With immediate availability found for May 2023, the redemption was ticketed and ready to go.

But a potential work trip came along which would have clashed, and the commencement of Bonvoy’s double elite nights promotion spurred me enough to scout for availability to change up the trip.

And with that, I was ready to go on a ‘whirlwind’ 8-night tour of two cities in one sitting.

[Flight Review] SUITE DREAMS – SQ25 Frankfurt (FRA) to Singapore (SIN) – Suites

On By Satu KosongIn Airlines, Holiday, Singapore, Singapore Airlines, SuitesLeave a comment

You have no idea how much I was looking forward to this flight after a crappy Sheraton. Yay to Suites again! And I was also very much looking forward to trying out 2F even though it’s a smaller Suite – different experience after all.

[I actually didn’t end up taking alot of pics for this flight – probably because I was tired]

[Flight Review] SUITE DREAMS – SQ25 New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) – Business

On By Satu KosongIn Airlines, Business Class, Holiday, Singapore Airlines2 Comments
Grabbed from SQ’s site

This was supposed to be Suites too but alas, my waitlist died. And I couldn’t bring myself to fly Y on this bucket list trip, I bit the bullet and splurged USD2.2k+ for this leg (yes, I know I know). But a small part of me was also excited because I’ve never flew in Business on this aircraft before. So YOLO it is.

And because I am so late in reviewing this seat, please excuse the lack of technical details because these are already available in so many other reviews ahead of me.

This marks the beginning of my bucket-list trip!

I think I spent way too much time thinking about how early in advance should I head to The Private Room (TPR) – after all, this could be the first and last of my First Class trip on SQ. I wanted enough time to enjoy the facilities but yet not too much to feel bored. Okay I know that some people try to spend 24hrs in TPR to fully maximize their access but that sounds a little too much for me. In the end I settled for 6 hours ahead of my flight, so reaching at 6:00pm for a 2355 flight – dinner, rot, sleep, eat?

[Sorry but am having technical issues with my photos as well so please bear with me]

After my completely devastating forced cancellation of my Etihad Apartment due to COVID (thankssss again), I had shelved any thoughts of flying First (on any airlines) as the roller coaster of disappointment was not something I want to go through again. Yeesh.
