SIN-HKG in F Class
Will be doing SIN-HKG later in the week in J Class and just wondering has anyone done ODU in SIN before?
I travelled in F before on this route (thanks to an opup) and really enjoyed the meal service and hence wanted to upgrade with my partner as she never experienced the new F Suites before.
For 25,000 miles is it good value (considering it is only 60,000 miles for JFK-HKG for J to F) and 20 hours is more than 3 * 3 Hours and you get no amneity kits, PJs, Duvets, mattress pads, Krug and Caviar.
But then again prob best ot burn the miles sooner than later before the next devaluation.

If you're hungry and thirsty then I might go for it, but frankly if you're not going to make the most of the food and drink then it really isn't worth it for the environment alone - except, of course, that you will actually be able to talk to your partner during the journey, which you wouldn't be able to do comfortably in new J.
Personally, if it was my money/miles I'd do SIN-HKG in Y - it still gets the "proper" Y service that many shorter routes have lost (3 course meal, wine, etc), and if you're on a 74A then AVOD. Use the savings to buy two bottles of Krug and some caviar when you arrive in Hong Kong and enjoy them together when you get to your home or hotel. (PJs not required)

It looks like you won't have the choice for much longer.
From sometime later this year it appears that SIN-HKG route will no longer have any F flights.
Can anyone confirm if this is a seasonal or permanent change? Sorry if this has already been answered somewhere on here.

Bummer. I always took 716 for the longhaul J / op-up to F likelihood.
If they convert 716 to regional J, I'm switching to SQ for travel between SIN / HKG.
