A380 or 777-300 first class

Hi! I am looking to redeem some Krisflyer miles for my first SQ first experience! The dilemma I face is that I am on waitlist for a suites a380 flight but could confirm flights on the new 777-300 first class. Any suggestions as to what I should do!

First world problems i know!

i always pick A380 over 77W. nothing beats the privacy of your own "room".

It should be possible to put in the waitlist request first and then confirm the 77W flight, and then if the waitlist clears there is only a mild fee to cancel the 77W booking in order to reuse the miles for the cleared waitlist.

Key is just that you need to have the miles in your account in order to place a waitlist request, but the miles don't need to stay available in your account for the waitlist request to remain active.

In this case, would definitely be worth it since the A380 product (new or old) is a significant improvement on the 77W product.

waitlist A380, confirm 777-300

if waitlist cleared before departure, pay a fee to switch the booking, if not fly with 777-300
