Smile Trip report - a crazy week: DUS-CDG-SIN-HKG-SIN-CDG-DUS on AF P and J, SQ J and CX J

Introduction

olivedel and I made a trip to SIN and HKG in may 2013 during which we had the opportunity to enjoy AF P La Première class, CX J class (and also Y unfortunately ;-) ) for olivedel and SQ J class for me. This trip is already one year old and we apologize for such a delay for reporting here on our favourite forum but it was hard for us to find the time to type this. I want to thank olivedel as he wrote 70% of this TR ^.

Our itinerary was:
  • For both of us, DUS-CDG, AF1307 10:15 - 11:30, A318, C class
  • For both of us, CDG-SIN, AF256 23:20 - 18:15 (+1), A388, P class
  • For me, SIN-HKG, SQ870 19 :00 – 22 :45, B772, J class
  • For olivedel, SIN-HKG, CX716 18:25 - 22:10, B773, Y class
  • For me, HKG-SIN, SQ863 13h30 - 17h15, B772, J class
  • For olivedel, HKG-SIN - CX635 15:20 - 19:05, B744, J class
  • For both of us, SIN-CDG - AF257 23:00 - 06:10 (+1), A388, P class
  • For both of us, CDG-DUS - AF1606 11:45 - 12:55, A318, C class



The main goal of the trip was to enjoy the great AF service in P . Our AF trip to SIN via CDG started and ended in Germany (DUS) by AF via CDG. DUS-CDG-DUS was booked in J class (A318), while CDG-SIN-CDG (A388) was booked in P. We used the very attractive P rates ex-Germany, so this was a revenue ticket. We booked our flights to ensure long to very long layovers in CDG to have plenty of time to enjoy the wonderful AF 1st class lounge .
Then, we added award tickets on SQ and CX to add the segments to HKG and back.
