[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.

  • SQ335 – Paris (CDG) – Singapore (SIN) Business Class (Boeing 777-300ER)

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 New York (JFK) to Frankfurt (FRA) – Business

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.

I technically could have accessed this lounge using my Priority Pass but this was also the dedicated lounge for SQ’s business class passengers.

[Lounge Review] SilverKris Lounge, Incheon (INC) International Airport

Excited to be able to try out this brand new SilverKris Lounge at Incheon!

On my last trip to Seoul in June, I was mockingly devastated that I was only eligible to try the Asiana Business Lounge as the SilverKris Lounge had closed in end 2018 as part of some airport planning (yes, I don’t know what exactly that means too).

So imagine my delight when I found out that Singapore Airlines has quietly re-opened their SilverKris Lounge at Incheon on 28 Oct 2019.
