Very helpful. I'll be in La Premiere on the way back, and for the outbound it'll be either New or Old suites, depending if my agenda makes me leave from FRA or LHR. I don't do positioning flights, it means even more time on planes. Phantom final legs to get a better fare, sure. But positioning flights, no thanks. But that's me, I understand why others are happy to do it.
You’re a smart man to avoid the positioning flights.
You probably know this already but you’re somewhat doing the trip backward. If possible, switch it around so you can go out of CDG on La Premiere. AF ground services at CDG can’t be beat. Car service pickup, Escort, lounge, car service to plane.
SQ are treated as second class citizens at FRA. No priority security, Senator lounge only, no access to First Class Terminal, wait I’m crowd with Biz for boarding.
Return from Singapore in SQ to Frankfurt or London. Then you get to take advantage of SQ home base ground service. Not as good but still miles better. Private FC check in area. Similar to BA wing. Private immigration line. Then walk across the hall to Krisflyer lounge/ TPR. TPR is not the greatest F lounge but very nice a la carte dining area.
No idea what the AF lounge is in Singapore but won’t be nearly as nice.
Again, don’t rearrange all your plans around flights. But always better to start from carrier flagship outstation. So if you can move your Frankfurt business to the end of the trip, you can do it this way.
SQ has a dedicated lounge in LHR which is better than Senator lounge in Frankfurt. If that makes a difference in your decision making.
You can use SQ TPR on arrival bc of the unusual security setup at Changi. So if you keep your original plan, you can just walk over there and treat as the arrival lounge for you flight.
Do pay attention to note above when you’re traveling. You don’t want to be switched to 777 service out of CDG.
