For Y seats, the upper deck have less seats across. Also the window seats have extra space and storage between the window and the window seat.
Seat 51D is a good choice for the lower deck. It doesn't have a seat in front as there is a hatch in the floor.
The chances of a free upgrade are nil. SQ very rarely upgrade anyone for free.

Those seats are preferred seats, you won't get one for free, but worth paying for.

But JFK/FRA is served with the all biz-upper deck variant, so no Y seats on upper deck.

Apologies in advance. I tried searching for a thread on business class on the 77w. But was unsuccessful. The search kept coming up with how bad the 350 is, and assorted threads that had very little information. Can anyone point me to a thread with more specific information,TIA.

Hey guys, I found award availability for a Swiss Airlines J flight(from NYC) on United.com for 70k+$53. If I transfer my UR points to Krisflyer instead the route should be 65K points, but I can't find how much the fuel charges could be(I haven't called yet). I heard they can add addition fuel surcharges, but was wondering if that would apply here. Thanks
You can find out what the fuel surcharge is by checking a paid itinerary in the same cabin on ITA Matrix and looking at the breakdown. Look for YQ.

Thank you Phaze. I read the 1st page (and the last 6 pages of the 77WN is now flying to thread) to see if there was any mention of my route. Since that was the thread the search function suggested.
Thank you FN-GM. I am flying NRT-LAX. I am not a frequent SQ flyer and have only flown on the A380 on previous trips.
Your replies are appreciated.
And thank you to the forum member who kindly PMed me to set me straight. No further clarification needed.
Cheers!

I booked a one-way LAX-SIN-DPS in J on a KrisFLyer Award ticket for 68k Points that I transferred from my Citi Prestige Card.
Just in case SQ does release F Award inventory closer to departure what is the cost for an award ticket in F? IS it 107,500 minus the 15% discount? I know that SIN-DPS will only be in Business Class but I wasn't sure if they would charge a different amount.
Basically I want to transfer some more points into my Kris FLyer account to make sure I can redeem for a ticket in F.
Also, will they charge me a change fee?

does SQ give the ability to print boarding passes beforehand? i'm wondering because i have an SQ flight booked at HKG but i will book a separate ticket via CX from TPE. i'm hoping i can just stay in the departure area without re-entering (if i dont have any checked bags).

You can just approach the transfer desk at HKG and not have to go through immigration & customs to check in landside.

i have a few options and i'm on the paranoid side as to not missing this... (first leg of a bunch of other legs) - which time would you choose to arrive? i have 11:00AM, 12:00PM and 12:45PM. I'm leaning toward 11:00AM just to take no chances...
