Cabin?
I'm class Economy/B
Unfortunately when I went to check in all the window seats were already taken. Was really hoping to get one so I could see places.

General advice: drink as much water as possible and get up and walk around every two hours that you're awake. Besides that, try to snag an emptier part of the plane; perhaps you'll get more space.
JFK - FRA - SIN leaves at 8:55 pm and arrives around 6 am into SIN, so I'd try to stay awake for a couple hours on JFK - FRA, then catch a three hour nap. Then stay awake for the next seven hours (remainder of JFK - FRA, layover, first four hours of FRA - SIN), then sleep for as long as possible for the rest of FRA - SIN. The idea is that you be as tired as possible before your long sleep on FRA - SIN. That way, you'll adjust to Singapore time faster.

How is Y-class on the main deck? I have flown AF's A380 before but was able to choose a 2nd floor Y seat that time- excellent, super-quiet given how far away from the engines the Y cabin is. I don't have experience with noise or comfort on SQ or the main deck of an A380. Comments?
I'm debating between SQ and AB since they're priced reasonably close to each other.

I flew SQ 25 in May and was, indeed, offered pajamas on both JFK-FRA and FRA-SIN, but only on the first segment was I offered an amenity kit.

Flying SQ25 at the end of the month. JFK-FRA. Was wondering if the configuration they fly on this route have Y seats in the Upper Deck? The website only allows seat selection for Y in the main cabin.
