OSL-MEL (Dec 2019) SQ business class for £1,900
I'm not sure if this strictly qualifies as a deal, but for those looking for early bird prices for trips to MEL/ SYD in late December from EU, I just booked a family trip (2 adults, 2 kids) OSL-CPH-SIN-MEL return in SQ business class (777-300ER and 380-800 mix) for £7,588 (21 dec out, 04th Jan return) which comes out at just under £1,900 per head. If I'm honest, I did it direct on Singapore Airlines website for £200 more so don't need to worry about travel agents if any issues, but the best pricing seems to be on mytrip.com as screenshot.

04/01/2020 was likely chosen randomly by the OP to illustrate the deal; it does not mean (nor has the OP indicated) that these precise dates are the ones used on the separate, unillustrated, actual booking made by the OP.

I’ve not yet been able to choose seats on the SAS flights OSL-CPH (and back) segments as it’s a partner flight to SQ so can’t confirm for sure but i did choose seats already for CPH-SIN-MEL (and back) and at least if booked throughout SQ I can confirm they are business class ( D fare codes). Didn’t try Kayak though as I found it via Momondo originally.

The above screenshot is from a third party agent, not from SQ.

Yeah, there is no business class on SK short haul flight; only SAS Plus (Premium Economy). However for a short flight OSL-CPH I'm sure you will survive. SAS Plus provides full access to SK lounges at OSL and CPH.

This looks like a nice price but I might need some convincing on how sq compares with other operators. I saw a video on YouTube that put me into doubt.
I suppose SQ is between BA and QR in terms of J offering? I very much like QR and not very much BA.

SQ C class is way beyond BA and QR in terms of soft and hard product. Nowhere near comparable.

I have read that people think that the SQ J seat is restrictive for sleeping, but I am 6.2 and had no issues at all getting comfy. And if you are lucky you can score one of the bulkhead seats, as I did on SIN-AMS.
