You would have been much happier with EK' comparable flight. They serve fruits and a pastry (which SQ should have served you also) and a small tub of yoghurt as well. So I guess the yoghurt makes all the difference, that is truly world class!

I am about to book Singapore for the first time in biz. I read this posting with great interest until about 3/4 of the way through. Your post seems like you're one of those people who are never satisfied, was there anything positive about your experience? I too am very particular about al the details of travel and work hard to get things just right. I appreciate all the various things I should look out for on my Singapore flight. It will be a pleasure to come ack here to post my review.

Thanks @aceboy44. I had a couple of SQ redemptions to/from central Asia F in July 19 that I booked last week. I have cancelled them now and will look for QF availability.

I can't think of any other positive thing during my flight. As mentioned service was average for me. It's up to you whether you want to experience Singapore Air or fly another airline. Personally my experience on Korean Air (J class) was better than Singapore Air.

I also had a terrible experience on Singapore Airlines recently.
I arrived at the first class check in, but they refused to check me in and directed me to the economy class area.
And not only that, once I had been issued my economy class ticket, they refused to let me into the SilverKris Lounge. I expected to be given access to The Private Room and they told me that I wasn't flying in the right class. The world best airline, my foot!!!
When it came time to board, I expected to turn left at the first class door, and they told me I had to board through economy. And the worst part! The seat configuration was 3 - 4 - 3... which airline has that configuration in first class?
LOL

Food in Doha is far superior (and more variety of food) than in SilverKris lounge. You also get Evian water there as opposed to SilverKris lounge.....

There are Tarmac views next to the prayer room (the sunset view is astonishing there)...... It's not QR's fault that you missed it (or didn't ask for it.)
