Redeeming a new A380 suite class
Hi all,
Deciding to use my miles to try the suite class for first time.
I have done research on the routes of the new suite class.
My question here is, do you think it is very different on the new A380 vs the old A380 suite class?
There are limited saver ticket available on the new A380 suite, easier to redeem on inbound flight to SG. So my another question is, is the first class experience in Changi airport (i.e. lounge) really great (compared to, say, LHR) ? Because, if I redeem the inbound ticket, I will not get to enjoy the experience.
I did experienced both Silver Kris lounge (business class) in SIN and LHR before.
I do have just enough miles for outbound and inbound suite class redemption, but I thought to save the miles for other redemption, hence, probably just try the suite class once.
Thanks

Agree. While the old suites are still quite excellent the new suites are a marked improvement.
Also you’ll get TPR access in SIN irrespective of whether you’re arriving or departing and is a decent experience. No idea about the lounge in LHR but I don’t think it will be as good as TPR.

By the way, TPR means the private room? even arrival in SIN can still access?

Yes - TPR means The Private Room
Yes - you can use TPR as a arrival lounge when you land in Singapore.
