So the take is Economy and First have improved the most, with Business class going backwards, and P Economy remained status quo?

My Experience Flying Singapore's New A380 Suites - One Mile at a Time

Just wondering if it's worth the repositioning.

SQ cabins are hot and there has never been air vents even in older products.

I always asked for temperature reduction to 20-21 degrees when flying business / first. And except for one IFS, they never made fuss of such request. Their default, I think, is 24. I don’t know how people sleep at those temperatures.

The front does seem warmer, but the back in economy always is freezing.

Hot for you, and for some quite pleasant. 21c would be considered too cold for some.

It all depends on the individual and their climate taste, physical health, build etc

is it clear what amenities kits are for suites at the moment? I've read that people have received Lalique, Ferraegamo, and 70th anniversary ones (I'll be ex JFK)

Looking at this image -- https://samchui.com/wp-content/uploa...elivery-45.jpg
A. There are no side bins
B. The bulkhead window seats do not have a full 'bench' and it looks like you will also need to sleep at an angle, only the bulkhead middle seats still have the full slot for you feet to sleep straight

Man all the new suites reviews makes me really wish they upgrade SQ25 before Feb 2019 when we fly.

I am super confused. All my flights in 2019 show this bizarre seatmap for First Class. I can’t select any seats. The only option is window or isle, but no row assignments. This is true for both AKL-SIN or SIN-JFK routes in March 2019

I would contact the SQ Call Centre to select your seats and tell them you are unable to select online.

I will call tonight. Do you think this is an indication this is the reconfigured A380?

I'm on the same flight, SQ25 JFK-FRA-SIN in August 2019 and it shows the same. I won't have a chance to call tonight so please post whatever information you get! Fingers crossed for a reconfigured A380 and not a downgrade to a 777
