- Silverkris Lounge makeover …. finally!
  
  Posted at 11:54 am by TTOTY, on July 5, 2019
  
  Ever since the first time I step foot into Silverkris Lounge in 2012 (and The Private Room in 2013), it has been errr….. stuck in a time warp.
  
  My first impression of the Business Class lounge back then was one of grandeur and opulence, with its luxurious marbled floor and walls. Together with the large food and beverage selection, it was the lounge I would love to be in back then.
  
  Just as I thought that nothing can be better, my first experience in the First Class Lounge and The Private Room (TPR) changed my mind. The lounge within a lounge concept made TPR an exclusive sanctuary. The a la carte dining menu made the TPR even more special.

- SQ 25 Suites (JFK-FRA-SIN) – my favourite cabin once again
  
  Posted at 8:53 pm by TTOTY, on June 23, 2019
  
  After 2 flights on SQ 26, finally I get to try SQ 25. In the past, it was easier to redeem the Suites on SQ 26 but it seems to be the opposite now. Despite 2 devaluation, Suites on SQ 25 and SQ 26 remains elusive (except for Advantage tickets)!
  
  The flight was previously operated using the All-Business class upper deck cabin but since June 1, it has been changed to the older A380 (with upper deck rear-economy section). Although this reduces the number of Business Class seats on this flight, the overall number of Business Class seats into and out of New York has increased with the reintroduction of SQ21/22 in October 2018.

- SQ 218 Suites (MEL-SIN) and Silverkris Lounge Melbourne in Pictures

  Now, for the second part of the trip – the flight back from Melbourne. SQ 217 let her try a day time flight with the full service while SQ 218 allows her to try out the sleeping overnight in the Suites.
  
  Total miles burnt was 160,000 miles per person for return (pre-January devaluation).
  
  Melbourne is one of the location with a dedicated First Class Lounge. Here are some of the pictures:

  My partner, AF recently traveled to Melbourne with her hubby on their maiden flight on SQ Suites. Being their first trip in Suites, they had lots of fun (not to mention food) even before they step foot onto the plane!
  
  Here are some pictures from their flight:

- SQ619 Suites (KIX-SIN) – A Great Way To Fly!
  
  Posted at 5:48 pm by TTOTY, on March 7, 2019
  
  I decided to put this up first as I felt that this review deserved the priority. I was initially booked on Business Class on both legs (SQ 618 and SQ 619) but 1.5 weeks out, Suites on the SQ 619 was still available and after some thoughts, I decided to make the plunge given the special nature of this trip (and giving in to my weak spot for Suites). I guess it was well worth it! What I experienced on this flight was a total contrast to my anniversary flight on SQ 308 last year.

  After a hiatus, lets hear it again from CHC on his most recent trip on SQ F to PVG on the 77WR (using the 2013 F cabin, but spotting just 4 instead of 8 seats).

- SQ26 Suites (SIN-FRA-JFK) Round 2, with my first ever in-flight medical call
  
  Posted at 3:23 pm by TTOTY, on June 24, 2017
  
  I was quite lucky to be able to score another pair of Suites on SQ26 (which I guess could be the last as well). Suites / First class to North America is getting harder to come by (despite the recent devaluation). Instead of doing another post on SQ26 / Singapore Airlines Suites, I will focus on the difference from my previous flight. Paid about $900 for both tickets (compared to almost $1200 back in 2015).

- SQ636 First Class (SIN-HND)
  
  Posted at 10:26 am by TTOTY, on October 20, 2016
  
  I made a booking from Singapore to Tokyo with a connection to Sapporo as I would join up with my parents for a Hokkaido trip. Instead of flying from Malaysia, I decided to fly from Singapore on Singapore Airlines to Tokyo and connect domestically to Sapporo via ANA (using the very attractive domestic ANA pricing for tourist).
  
  I had a choice of either doing the SQ 636 (which I chose) vs. SQ632. SQ636 have been flying on 77WN (which I have wanted to try last year on SQ1 but I didn’t manage to redeem it.) Being a night flight, it offered only a supper service (truncated meal service). SQ632, being a morning flight offered a full lunch service but is being served by the older 77W. After much consideration, I chose SQ636 for the sake of trying out 77WN.
  
  SQ636 has been served mainly using 77WN (9V-SWU, SWV, SWY) but there was once the flight was served by SWF (data from flight radar 24). Although there is a small chance that a bird swap may occur, most of the flights were using 77WN.

- Part 1(A) – SQ 26 Suites (SIN-FRA)
  
  Posted at 8:39 am by TTOTY, on December 4, 2015
  
  Date : 9 November 2015
  
  Flight : SQ26
  
  Plane : A380-800 (9V-SKQ)
  
  Photo taken : iPhone 6+
  
  Seats : 3C/3D
  
  Duration : 13 hours 25 minutes
  
  This is my 3rd experience in SQ Suites but my first long haul in premium class. Before i start, my apologies for the lack of photos as I have been pretty busy prior to this trip and hence I was pretty tired even before boarding the flight.
  
  My flight was operated on a Singapore Airlines 9V-SKQ which is only about 4 years old (first flight was made only in early 2012).
