SINGAPORE AIRLINES FIRST CLASS - SYDNEY TO SINGAPORE - SQ 212 BOEING 777-300ER 

Next flight is SQ232 (operated by A380) leaving at noon arrives at SIN @ 5PM. Last flight to BKK departs an hour later and I don't like tight connections. That's why I chose SQ212, first flight of the day. On the other hand, First and Suites are not always at the same price. Most of the time, Suites fares are ticketed "F "while you can find "A" fare on 777 flights. And honestly, I prefer First Class beds (wider) than Suites bed because of the bulkhead.

It was a very good trip indeed, thank you. Do you remember if it was the new First when you did SIN-HKG? SIN-SYD is quite a popular route and I think you will find more cheaper fare opportunities in First than in Suites

My final destination was Bangkok and SQ212 was the most suitable flight for a safe connection at SIN. I agree that Suites seat are more expensive than First Class seats

Thank you 🤩. To be honest, I prefer First Class bed. I don't like the bulkhead near the bed in Suites

SIA operates four daily flights to SYD. One of them is operated by Airbus A350 without First Class cabin. That means that there are at most 14 First class passengers per day, not traveling at the same time. But you shouldn't forget that PPS Solitaire can also wait in the First Class section. I forget to mention it but we were 4 passengers that morning in FC lounge. The two others were surely Solitaire.

Thank you. All the meals onboard are supposed to be good. But it's not always a success even if Singapore Airlines chefs try their creations before it's loaded onboard. The fact is when you choose a Book The Cook meal, you have more chance to eat a delicious meal. The other thing is that you try to compare how much to can spend for a meal in any restaurant. A Laksa soup or Satay in a hawker food center is quite affordable while a Lobster meal is gonna be more expensive (And they are all delicious by the way) I don''t say that you are wrong not to choose Lobster but I think that passengers, while traveling First or Business, want to dream. It's like eating in a fancy restaurant. Personally, I sometimes opt for BTC because we can now view the menu before the flight and because the meals are uninspiring. Or eat something else than a meal you can easily find in any restaurant (like omelette or scrambled eggs)

Thank you for this point of view. It's difficult to find the right balance on board and some meals are sometimes too salty, because of the dry air in the cabin. You are right for some points like the garlic bread (less butter and garlic) but on this flight, taste was generally good.

Perhaps if he flew out of SIN, he would recieve much better SQ catering.

@@localrejectspodcast5669 Better chance indeed to have better catering ex-SIN

Thank you for this info. I always thought that British Airways was the only European airline to fly to Australia

Indeed they fly the Syd Sin and Bkk flights offering a wildly different J seat to QF.

@@luxuryavgeek not anymore. TK is flying from IST via SIN to AUS as well. AY is technically not serving HEL to AUS. Only their aircraft and its FA are leased.

@@paulkazzer So, that means that Qantas doesn't have enough aircrafts?

@@Jamie-Fox Thanks for the info 👍

Hello Canada Ontario. Thank you for your support 🤩

Thank you 🤩

To Bangkok

The only way to find is try. But I wouldn't say no to a bigger bed 😇

Hopefully, I wasn't traveling with flip flop on that day 😁

@@luxuryavgeekYou are totally fine with those shorts in first class. Ignore the outdated views on fashion from anonymous imperialist swine on the internet.

Your words, not ours 😁

@@luxuryavgeek ?

And Very appropriate
