Star Alliance - Which *A itinerary would you do?

Looking at what's available, I'm trying to decide between:

SIN to LHR in SQ C (77W)
LHR to IAD in UA F

or

SIN to BKK in TG C
BKK to FRA/CDG in TG F (A380)
FRA/CDG to IAD in UA F

I'm leaning toward the 2nd option because the TG A380 looks cool, but you could almost argue that SQ Long Haul C is just as good as TG F based on the mock ups... Very similar total trip time, but would have to be at the airport in SIN a few hours earlier and similar arrival time

i think go with option 1... both TG and SQ are good airlines but the first one has 1 stop and you are flying business... I rather sleep through the whole thing than have an extra stop.. yea 380 is a huge new plane.. but the seats are very similar.. if u were flying econ.. one thing.. but biz should be very very similar just no point of the extra stop.. my 2 cents :)

I would pick the second option. TG 380 F seems so much cooler than SQ 77 C. Plus, you would get to access the first class lounge in BKK.

but biz should be very very similar just no point of the extra stop.. my 2 cents :)

Note it's TG F (in the 380) vs SQ J

Is this an award booking?

I noticed the new SQ 77W flight to LHR on Aeroplan last week. I tried to book it, but it turned out to be another example of phantom award availability.

Yes it is ... That'd be a real bummer if it was.. I'm looking at May '13

The TG 1st class lounge is very cool, but having enough time to take advantage of the food/massage/cart means a longer trip.

If I wasn't time constrained and if there are viable backup flights (in case of delays in Europe), I'd probably do the 2nd. Mrs. Billygoat says go for the 1 stopper, since it's not like you 'slumming it' on SQ business ;)

If you are already "paying" for F - why not do F the whole way.
United F is really just C, and not even good C - so why spend the extra miles, if just that segment is gonna be in "F"....

It has been said before...but somethings don't change..............F is F
