I say unlikely because there will still be the other basinet seat, and it is unlikely, but of course not impossible, that there would be a need for 2. If you get an agent that says no, try again.

We flew KIX-SIN-KIX in 2017 and 2018 and we're able to get the bulkhead basinet seats (seats 11 H/K on the a330) on request for all 4 flights with no problem. It is also not correct that SQ blocks out bulkhead seats for their elite members on all flights. We'll be flying KIX-SIN-KIX again in Feb 2019 and like you, we were able to book 11 D/F online for SQ622. And as I said, we easily got the bulkhead on request for those 4 flights in 2017 and 2018. I do not even have a SQ account. All flights were booked using UA miles, and Ive no status with UA (have not flown UA in almost 20 years, all my miles are through a cc), so it certainly does not seem that SQ blocks anything for elites on this route, or at least not in the months (Jan or Feb for CNY) that we fly.
Thanks. That helps me. I will give them a ring and see if we can grab one of those singles in the 11 row.
