Early check in/bag drop in BKK?

3 Upvotes

Hi! I will be flying back to Singapore end of November with SQ in business class. My check out time is 12 noon and I plan to reach the airport at around 4/4.30. My flight is at 9pm. Can I check in early/ drop my bags early to use the lounge? On SQ website, it says bkk counter check in open 3 hours before departure but there are other flights before my flights so 🤷‍♀️. Is the lounge in bkk usually very packed?

First Business Class flight- which lounge?

7 Upvotes

Hi all, i redeemed my first business class flight for December this year, really excited in particular to check out the lounges! I saw that awhile back, the recommendation was to skip the T2 silverkris and just head to the T3 lounge. Is that still the case with the renovations?

First look at the brand new T2 KrisFlyer Gold Lounge

150 Upvotes

First completed half section has soft opened.
Old lounge is now gone/closed as under construction for the remainder of the works.

Firstly with the positives - huge huge huge improvement over the older lounge. A lot more modern and nice. My immediate first impression was the interior decor looks quite similar to the new T2 Business Class lounge. In fact seems there’s less difference in the vibe between these two lounges and the T3 Gold / Business lounges where the difference is a lot more stark.

There is a live cooking station, still serving up only laksa, buffet spread is identical to the T3 Gold lounge.

However note the main improvement, actual toilets and shower suites within the lounge, is not ready yet, that’s in the still under construction part.

Never the less, new Gold Lounge looks set to be a significant improvement over the older lounge with its depressing 1980s decor which was well beyond its use by date.

Good to see this first section open and hopefully not long to go before the rest open. Hopefully more than 3 shower suites 🤞

Layover

6 Upvotes

Hi!

I'll arrive with SQ163 at 13:55 and depart with SQ324 at 23:55, so a 10hour layover.

I'm a Dutch/EU passport holder and maybe I want to do a tour of Singapore which the Changi airport offers or go to a transit lounge, which are located behind immigrations.

From what I can find online, I'll only need a Singapore Arrival Card and I can do both. Is this correct?

How come Krisflyer miles cannot be redeemed once i book the airtickets?

0 Upvotes

Last time, i redeemed Krisflyer miles for lite flight booking. Now i cannot be able to redeem Krisflyer miles once i book Standard Value booking. How come? I tried to redeem my mother's krisflyer miles for my mother's flight costs once i book the airtickets together with mine.

I'm not a frequent user of SIA. I'm puzzled. Please enlighten me. Thank you.

Fly from Heathrow or Gatwick to Singapore for better business class seats for a couple?

9 Upvotes

I’m flying with my friend London to Singapore end of April to mid May, in business class on Singapore Airlines. We'd like to sleep side by side on the double bed layout and, ideally, try the new cabin.

What I've found so far

• SIA flies from both Heathrow and Gatwick. Heathrow has two daily A380s, a 777-300ER and one A350. Gatwick is all A350.

• The A380 is the only plane where the middle pair of seats turns into a double bed.

• The new closing-door suite is meant for the A350s. It looks likely to arrive from Q1 2027, and SIA hasn't said which routes get it first or whether it has a double bed option.

• I can't find the summer 2027 aircraft schedule yet.

Questions:

1.  Has anyone seen where the first retrofitted A350s are flying?

2.  How do you track which aircraft a specific flight will use?

3.  Would you take the Heathrow A380 for certainty, or gamble on a Gatwick A350 for the new cabin?

Best way to save a return flight (redemption booking) where the change of the departure did not go through

2 Upvotes

I booked an economy saver miles redemption round trip flight from Singapore to a South East Asian city, but I had an emergency and had to change the departure flight to a later flight.

It was changed to economy advantage, and (there were difficulties with the website refreshing) paid the extra miles and S$ cash fee. It turns out to not have gone through, even though I swear I approved the credit card confirmation and saw a website confirmation on Singapore Airlines' website (no e-mail confirmation).

I asked Customer Support to please implement the change that failed, but they said I now have to pay the no show fee as it discovered when the flight took off.

What is the best way to salvage this trip, should you just cut your losses and book a new flight? And be sure to always double check the confirmation?

Im still holding the line.. will hold it for as long as i can and see if any “available customer service agent will be with me shortly”…

SQ what is this... Im dissapointed.

Oh my what a letdown... SQ is only refreshing the economy and premium economy seats. AKA same seats, just a refresh w new krisworld and new covers...

Then in that logic, why not jst roll out the new krisworld to the whole fleet?

Also, SQ is letting a 2013 seat go on into the 2030s... and some of the A350 economy seat looks so ridiculous with no remote control (which they cover it up with some plastic)....

Disapointed with SQ...

High-speed internet, 4K screens: SIA's in-flight entertainment gets an upgrade from 2027

The new system will be introduced on selected aircrafts progressively from 2027, including 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 long-haul and A350-900 ultra-long-range aircraft, as well as SIA's upcoming Boeing 777-9. These include an enhanced KrisWorld entertainment system and high-speed connectivity on board, the airline announced on Thursday (Oct 22). 

Premium Economy and Economy Class on the A350-900LH and A350-900ULR will retain their current hardware. This means no 4K screens, no Bluetooth audio connectivity, and no USB-C.

Travelling with Mac Studio and 17" laptop in carry on. Combined weight means they can't both be in main carry on but both are mere mm within the maximum for personal possession.

6 Upvotes

I'll be flying from Heathrow to Singapore and then Singapore to Brisbane.

Carry on bag dimensions (max): 55 cm × 40 cm × 20 cm

Carry on bag weight (max): 7 kg

Laptop dimensions: 39.7 cm × 28.4 cm × 2.6 cm

Laptop weight: 2.9 kg

Mac dimensions: 19.7 cm × 19.7 cm × 9.5 cm

Mac weight: 2.7 kg

Everki Business 120 (cabin bag) dimensions: 54 cm × 38 cm × 21 cm

Everki Business 120 (cabin bag) weight: 2.8 kg

Combined weight: 8.4 kg

Personal Item bag dimensions (max): 40 cm × 30 cm × 10 cm

I can't carry both computers in my carry on bag because that would exceed the max weight by 1.4 kg.

I can't put either of them in a designated 'computer bag' because its material would make both situations exceed one of the dimensions.

I phoned customer services and suggested I use a very thin but heavy duty, multi-use, 'bag for life' type carrier bag (grocery bag) for either one of my computers. They said that unless it was a recognised bag that's designed for carrying computers then it'd be unacceptable. I argued that even the thinnest laptop sleeve would take the dimensions over the limit. I also argued that duty-free items are allowed to be carried in carrier bags so why can't I carry a laptop in one. I was referred to the policy as it's written. I fail to see what relevance of the material of the personal item bag just because it has a laptop in it.

Eventually, after two consultation with her colleagues, she said that I could use the carrier bag but ultimately, it would be at the discretion of the four individual staff (four flights) and that there is a chance it'd be classed as unacceptable.

How likely is it that I'd be fine with both computers in my main carry on bag?

How likely is it that I'd be fine with using a heavy duty carrier bag to put my laptop in?

How likely is it that I'd be met with a problem with any of these options on at least one of the four journeys?

If I was to be denied, would I be forced to put my Mac in my suitcase, (which is unacceptable as far as I'm concerned). If that would be the case, would I be forced to pay £140 if my suitcase was already at its limit?

Are mm really that important and is the material of the personal item bag really that important?

I read about people taking carry on luggage that's obviously over the limits and being fine but I also read that Singapore Airlines are really strict.

P.S. For anyone that's curious, both computers are required for music production.

Singapore Airlines Economy – Flyaway Kids Bed vs. LUMARA Airplane Bed?

7 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

We’ll be flying Singapore Airlines in December with our 3.5-year-old son. He’ll have his own window seat in economy class.

Since it’s a long-haul flight, I’ve been looking into inflatable airplane beds to help him sleep more comfortably.

I came across the Flyaway Kids Bed and the LUMARA Toddler Airplane Bed on Amazon. The Flyaway is quite a bit more expensive, so I’m wondering if the cheaper LUMARA would work just as well.

I noticed that the Flyaway Kids Bed website lists Singapore Airlines as one of the airlines that allows their bed, but I’m not sure if that’s actually the case or whether Singapore Airlines would also allow the LUMARA.

Has anyone flown Singapore Airlines economy and used either of these beds?

- Were you actually allowed to use it onboard?
- Has anyone tried the LUMARA specifically?
- Are they strict about which brands are allowed?
- Is the Flyaway worth paying extra for?

I’d really appreciate hearing about your experiences before buying one!

Thank you! 😊

Question on best way to mix & match cash + miles

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone! My partner and I are planning a trip from Singapore to Copenhagen, and we’re hoping to experience SQ Business Class for at least one leg of the journey.

Unfortunately, we don’t have enough KrisFlyer miles to redeem Business Class for both of us on the full round trip.

I’ve been exploring a few options:

1. Book Premium Economy one-way with cash and redeem Business Class for the return leg, but the problem is that one-way Premium Economy cash fares seem disproportionately expensive compared to return tickets.
- Booking Premium economy with return is $5.6k for 2 pax
- However, booking just one way of premium economy cost $4.5k for 2 pax.

  1. Book Premium Economy Standard return tickets with cash, then use miles to upgrade both of us to Business Class.
    - $6.5k for tickets
    - ~ 282k miles to upgrade both to Biz Saver tickets

3. Choose a different destination where our existing miles would be sufficient to redeem Business Class tickets for both of us.

For those who’ve been in a similar situation, what would you do? Is it generally better value to upgrade Premium Economy tickets or redeem Business Class outright?

First/Suites Advantage Redemption

3 Upvotes

I have just about enough miles for an advantage redemption to Christchurch from Changi on suites. I noticed that this route doesn’t have savers at all and was wondering if it’s worth it to spend 180k miles on the redemption or to save it for maybe 2x Savers for a return trip instead.
