^ Yeh, I didn't have a BP at hand, and couldn't quite remember the order. Took the 50/50 shot and got it wrong , it is xxTP.

I'm a regular on MEL-SIN, and on SQ208 (A350), used to only get business class tag, never first. Whereas for SQ228 and SQ218 would get a first tag. Out of MEL now whilst you still get the gold Solitaire tag, they've done away with the priority tags altogether, at it is printed on the luggage tag, the last one I had "Priority F" printed (that was SQ 218), will have to take note next time I fly SQ208.
As for onboard service, it really depends on crew. Some are outstanding, some so so. Usually will be welcomed on board at my seat, often by multiple crew. Sometimes for a longer flight, cabin manager will bring you a bottle of water and some newspapers. For meals, they are usually proactive in offering your choice and bringing it you if you are seated in a location that is towards the middle or end of the service, but not if you are seated around where the service starts. Makes sense. Also sometimes get no recognition - nothing - usually associated with last minute flight change or some IT failure (eg. a few months ago at MEL, even though status printed on BP, lounge angel took my KF number as she said it wasn't showing in the system - unsurprisingly no onboard recognition).
