BTW, this is great advice OP:
Stupid SQ is too stingy to the rest of Star.
By registering a Singapore frequent flier account (they rarely if ever release First class seats to partners), transferring AMEX points to SQ KrisFlyer miles and holding out for a one-way saver award, this trip is costing me 47,500 miles (less than a pair of sunglasses). Had I paid cash for the same flight it would have cost $6,280.30 (as of today). Seek out the best value for your points.

While the seats are showing wear and tear and the IFE screen isn't great, I found it to be extremely comfortable for sleeping. If I could change one thing, it would be to have an ottoman for my feet while in the seating/recline position.

Very nice trip report, I'm very envious.
How was your fellow passenger's champagne comment pretentious?

It was the tone and manner in which she said it. I suppose you had to be there. She sounded very self-congratulatory for spending a lot of money. I find people publicly bragging about large expenditures and patting themselves on the back for it to be gauche.
