A380-to-B777 cut on the SYD route
Now a question to the seasoned solo-A380-Suites pax: if you had reserved 1A or 1F, how willingly would you agree to change to 3A or 3F if asked after check-in whether 2A+3A (or 2F+3F) could travel together in the combined 1+2 instead?

Your question on 1A / F switching is a tricky one and it is entirely a personal decision of the individuals having reserved these suites.
You may get lucky, you may not. For starters, don't assume the person in 1A/F travels as a party of 1. They could very well be doing exactly what you are trying to do.
Secondly, the 3A/F are the "least preferred" of the 6 suites by many folks in my book, so I would reckon chances of success for switching could be lesser overall if the folks in 1A/F know what they secured and care about it.
Lastly, it is still SQA388 Suites so nothing to be sniffed at. It doesn't hurt to monitor the seat map and ask later on, but be gracious about it if the request is declined. YMMV.

Nothing to be sorry about: I prefer having a realistic picture about our chances

most likely SQ will ask for the additional miles for you to swap to PVG.
else just change the date instead.

1A/2A are the suite seats. if you're trying to convince the person in 2A to move to 3A...best of luck. the people that fly these routes might do so regularly - you'd need to make sure they're not in a pissed off mood that day and/or find commonality in the reason why you and ur sig other are together.
