Flying EU to Asia or reverse you still need PCR or Antigen, additional insurances etc etc. For you as an experienced and elite FF maybe that’s not much of a factor thus you sail through airports hassle free. For many it’s stressful and a notable concern.
And if you want to get to Asia from certain EU countries/airports or vice versa you often don’t have that many options right now. Fact. So SIA are in a premium position with that one. And when that situation changes, so will this attitude of SIA of treating premium customers poorly (e.g T3 Silverkris lounge) charging customers a fortune (EU-Asia J 3,5k€ as a starter) and with customers simply having to be grateful to SIA for getting them from A to B.
