I'm flying JFK-FRA in F in a few weeks and see they offer a full dinner but only continental breakfast. Does anyone know if it is still possible to order a BTC meal, save it for breakfast, and get a regular menu meal at dinner? I've read contradicting accounts from the past few years going back through the threads. Thanks.
Does SQ still use VS clubhouse at JFK for F pax? If so you can get a decent meal there so only need breakfast onboard (which could be ordered as a BTC meal if you like or hold over a supper option from the main menu).

Possible in theory but you won't get much sleep. The flight is short enough without consuming two meals onboard.

I'm lost. There's too much to choose from. I'm flying F from SYD-SIN-HKG. I like chicken, beef, and veal dishes. Not much of a seafood fan. There's too many choices and too many reviews. Anyone have any suggestions?

Too many options is a good thing. The other day in KE F the menu choices for main meal on a longhaul flight were bibimbap (Korean beef), another Korean beef dish, a western beef dish, and a seafood option.

just a quick gripe - i find it annoying that if you have a waitlisted segment it excludes from you BTC for all other segments as well as that segment!

On the other hand, if you are still waitlisted right up to flight time...

If you Book the Cook, and don't like the meal you selected, do they let you choose something else?

Any recommendations for BTC in F ex LHR and SIN? I was thinking Guinea Fowl ex LHR and Curry Patta Lobster ex SIN.
Thanks!
Thanks!

Flying F SYD-SIN-HKG
So I ordered the SYD TO SIN Lunch : Indian lamb shank curry and pilaff rice
And SIN TO HKG Dinner : Chicken tikka khurchan masala
Any suggestions, or alternatives about the choices I made? Any feedback from experienced travelers? Even the littest of information would be appreciated.

Travelling J or F? I've had the Indian lamb shank curry with rice (ex MEL) on numerous occasions... one of my favourite J meals.
