Did you think about trying to get a status match with bmi for this trip, so that you could have used the business class ground amenities?
I looked at flying QF but the cost of the return to and from SIN alone was about £200 more than the whole trip on SQ. So it was a no go really given that I'd be paying for the hotel in Bali too.

Didn't think about BMI but that sounds like a good option for next time!
