SQ giving a hard time on bassinett seats!
Hi fellow FT'ers,
My wife and I are flying to India with our infant. Our first leg is on SQ 15 business class. We requested a bassinett seat and one of us was assigned 14K. The other was allotted 19F!!
I tried calling SQ multiple times to request 2 seats together with a bassinett and I am being told that 1 infant = 1 bassinett seat! And apparently 15 D and F are the only 2 seats together in the entire cabin with access to a bassinett.
The reservation agent told me a request has been sent. Does anyone know who else I can talk to get the seat assignment? I would rather do this before check-in so there are no last minute surprises.

I wouldn't worry too much. During OLCI you might be able to get the seat, if not then once you board and the person in the seat next to your wife sees the baby I am sure that they would want to swap rather than sit next to a screaming baby for the whole flight. (Regardless of if they scream or not, they would probably not want to take the risk)

Baby Car Seat
Didn't want to start a new thread but rather built on the existing baby issues ....
I am travelling with my 20 month old boy and I bought a seat for him as he tall for his age and it will be tough having him on the lap on overnight flight. During take off and landing we can take him on the lap, but what are the rules on SQ for the rest of the flight. Do I need to get a baby car seat?

The seat is wide enough for your wife and son to sit on
