Best flights on the FRA-SIN-SYD route in J?
 
A lurker for many years I finally decided to register and make a post.

I have a meeting in Sydney in a few months. And now I need help figuring out the best possible travel plans. You who frequent this route, what are your favourite flights and why? Please, all input welcome here. Which aircraft types are better? What departure/arrival times are most convenient? Best service? I' looking for the full J experience and if possible no "sleeper service" flight. Only exepteion to that is if its possible to catch an overnight flight ex SYD arrive early at SIN for a long layover with a visit to town.

I prefer SQ operated flights, but how are the LH codeshares on the FRA segments?
Flying out from AMS might be a possibility,

What is "best" or "most convenient" in your opinion may be the opposite in the opinion of 100's of others.

What research have you done yourself for flight schedules/pricing/aircraft?
Very hard to get "no sleeper" - daylight only flights from Eu to Australia. The time zones, distance & aircraft speed limit that
SYD-SIN is not that long a flight in the overall itinerary. And SYD has a curfew, so operating hours are limited. (06:00-22:00)
And why SQ? Many other airlines can get you from FRA to SYD, including other Star Alliance airlines.

Thank you! Good Points!

Long story short, But looking to sell My self made business ans prospective buyer with base in SYD is paying the airfare. Was told I could Malé travle arrangements with condotions being SQ and J class.

Have researched differentierad optopns. Either the SQ325 Departing FRA 10pm and Theb SQ251 ti SYD.
That Would be to consecutive overnight flights.

Going home SQ252 and then SQ26 Seems like a Good option

That's more to do with time zones. Is about 20~22 hour flight time

Your SYD client may have a travel agreement with SQ

Do note that if SQ 251/252 are operated by the A330 - it would be the regional business class.

If they are operated by the 777-200ER SV-series birds it has the 2006J - flat bed all aisle access - but the entertainment system is a bit old.

LadyBell, where are you based? You could take one of the early flight to SIN (which as all flights in that direction would naturally be an over-nighter), arrive in Singapore early in the morning, and then catch a connecting flight that would put you in Sydney several hours later without another night on the plane.
