Is champagne served in Suites on the ground @ JFK? I was planning to board as early as possible in order to get settled, but perhaps not if the bar is closed. Korean is the only airline I’ve flown First from JFK where drinks weren’t served on the ground. Pre COVID.

Return journey, in J, and about the time Omicron was starting to take off, they didn't enforce masks while sleeping but as soon as I sat up in bed to watch the TV a stewardess asked me to put it on.

I had a different experience - an overzealous junior crew woke me up TWICE from sleep when my mask fell off during. And I was only one of two passengers in the rear J cabin of an A359. Needless to say, being woken up from sleep just to be asked to put on a mask in a near empty cabin - was extremely annoying.

4 March 2022. I originally had difficulty falling asleep on the flight, hence the tossing and turning that likely dislodged my mask. By the time I was woken up the second time, grumpy and sleepy, I actually complained about the crew member to the ISM (something that I've never done in my entire lifetime of flying SQ).
Furthermore it was a VTL flight back then, when every passenger must've been vaccinated or recovered.

We flew, CPH to SIn & SIN to ARN via FRA. Noticed that their service levels in Business have dropped. We asked for an amenity kit and she asked us if we needed to brush our teeth. Sounded kinda foolish. She then reluctantly went to get us 2 kits.
On our way to SIN, they forgot my main dish, I had to ring the bell. On our way from Singapore they forgot to serve my partners meal, he had to ring the bell to get this main dish which was preordered.
Rushed service. This was a revenue flight and we expected better service then that.
Oh well, I will stick to LX and LH next year.

I suspect the question was because there's no toothbrush in the amenity kit (for whatever reason) so if you'd said yes you might also have gotten a dental kit as well

The toothbrushes are in the lavatories. We wanted the amenity kit which includes a moisturizer and lip balm. On both segments we had to ask for the kits.

Air Canada makes an announcement, if you are asleep without your mask we will wake you up. But SQ crew is too afraid of its customers to do that.

I had to on SQ52 in early April as well; when talking to the FAs on both SIN - MAN and MAN - IAH, they stated how the amenity kits are now "on request only" as SQ has limited supply per cabin, and assumes not everyone wants one. For those expecting, collecting, needing, or wanting one, be sure to request when you board the flight or soon after ... as it sounds like most J cabins aren't stocked for everyone to get one
