Then, it's very misleading info to write 325% to AS FFP, if you ask me.

The OP did say "as much as 325%", though I can certainly see the confusion. That might be something the OP would want to be made aware of

Aho come off it mate. OP wrote "as much as 325%", implying that not everyone gets that many miles.

He/she is not selling or advertising a product, simply showing you a fare that exists. Nothing misleading about it.

I would write: "Singapore Airlines D class gives 200% AS miles and as a Gold member you'll earn 325%", instead of writing "as much as 325%".

Looks like quite a contrast to SQ regional business. For SQ the seat is angled but almost goes to full flat so it's not that bad. Yes, there will still be a neighbor but when the seat drops quite low at flat position it's easy to cross-over to the aisle when the seatmate is sleeping. Looks like I know what to avoid now

There seems to be a confusion with AS redemption rate so I'll correct it now.

Hard to please everyone. "As much as" is hardly misleading. Now back to the topic - anyone else found it odd that the promo fare is supposedly valid for outbound travel from 1 Apr to 31 May, but the 787 service to Osaka only begins on 3 May? Checked matrix and availability is only from 7 May onwards for select weekdays, which means availability is very limited.

Also very curious about the new regional J seat. Can't wait to see how SQ's customized the product.

According to Australian Business Traveller, the curved pod-like Opal seats from Stelia Aerospace could very well be the new regional Business Class seat onboard Singapore Airlines’ new B787-10 aircraft.

agreed. Having done both, the SQ regional J is much more comfortable for any type of sleeping. I don't mind the CX regional J for a day time flight when you are working but for it's terrible for flights where everyone is sleeping and there are plenty of those like HKG - BLR

Wow...that was fast. Only Tuesdays/Wednesdays departures in May left. Good thing is, the return is within 1 month, and can be in mid to late June..
