Question about SQ826 service
Hi all,
Will be flying the redeye from SIN - PVG in a few weeks . This is my first time on SQ or at SIN airport so I would like some advice.
1. I'll be in J class so I'll have lounge access. When is the best time to enter the lounge to have dinner? Is it possible to exit the lounge and then re-enter (I would like to explore the airport as I heard great things about it)? I would like to take a shower before the flight as well - is this pretty straightforward to arrange? Is there only 1 lounge to choose from - if not, which is the best?
2. What type of meal service is normal on this flight (I assume there's no service at the beginning, only the end?)
Thanks!

The service, I think, will be supper/breakfast service, where you can chose to eat either upon departure or before arrival. There should be one main meal choice plus lighter (supper) and breakfast choices. If you want to guarantee a main meal - look at doing Book the Cook via meal selection in your booking on the SQ website (or via phone or travel agent). (google it or search this forum for more details).

Just got off 825. The PVG-SIN red eye. Flight left at 0035. The service was supper. 1 starter, 3 main, dessert, cheese w/o fruits, pralines. I would assume 826 is similar.
Prior to arrival, juice and hot towels.
Amenity = slippers & eye shades.
In SG for SQ, no lounge invites are used. Boarding pass will suffice to gain access to SKL. Don't see any issue with re-entry.

Yes. There's also a great open air bit in T2 where it face the tarmac - really nice.
Also if you're in the airport in the late evening use the T2 lounge as it is a lot emptier usually - the T3 lounge is packed with Australian/Japan/Korea/European departures. Food is just as nice IMO.

I've done the SIN-PVG/NRT/KIX/PEK flights (and vv) and can vouch for all the info other posters have quoted below.
Good tip about going to T2 though, I've never bothered but perhaps it's a good idea as the T3 SKL isn't so pleasant when it's jam-packed.

Not really. LHs A380 is leaving just before midnight and LH has one of the biggest C-Sections (98 seats) on such a bird. Can get quite busy in the T2 lounge from 10.30pm onwards.

Does LHs J/F class shares the same lounge as SQ J/F (ie, SKL). If i remember correctly, SKL is exclusively for PPS, SQ J and F class. Correct me if i'm wrong though.

All Star F = SKL F access
All Star J = SKL J access
It has been that way for some time. A good few years at least. Only the TPR is reserved for SQ passengers.

My friend who took SQ825 in Y class (red-eye from PVG-SIN) said that supper is served on this flight after take-off.

Thanks, look forward to your update.
A few years back when I took SQ826 in J class, they offer breakfast before landing and light snack after take-off. I will be taking this flight next weekend, will update if there has been any changes.
