I'm contemplating booking a VIP arrival service to skip the lines if they're bad.

I'm new to forum. Have upcoming flight on SQ25 transferring at FRA to OS for flight to VIE (separate tickets). Flying J on both so have access to Priority check-in. Also, I've never flown through FRA.
- I assume bags can be checked at JFK all the way to VIE (do they need to be claimed in FRA to go through customs or will they automatically go to VIE)?
- If not, do I get claim at FRA, recheck there to VIE?
- Since this is a non-schengen to shengen transfer, how is the transfer from 1-B to 1-A - assume I need to go through passport control and then security?
- If flight is on time (and it seems it usually is early), I have 130 minutes for transfer - is this doable or a problem?

3. Can transfer without going through security -- you hv two options, going via tunnel or bus to Schengen. However, if you are not a Euro citizen, passport control could take longer.
4, Ultimately should be doable.

It is indeed a dinner service, as are pretty much all NY to Europe departures, whether they leave at 4pm or 11pm.

Here are also the book the cook options: https://www.singaporeair.com/en_UK/s...lass-new-york/ The BTC is an extra list of entrées you can choose from. These change sporadically. Usually the list is more extensive but is fairly limited on account of covid-related employment shortages.
You can review the inflight menu in your booking a month prior to your flight. The inflight menu link posted by bgriff works for your flight within ten days of your departure, otherwise it gives you an idea.

Going to pass SQ strictly on principle of forced masking.
Qatar hasn't asked for this in Q Suites in ages.
Assume Emirates also is actually able to understand The Science.
Sending my $12k to another carrier who doesn't require these.

It wasn't enforced on my two flights (Jan 22 and May 22) to and from SIN in Suites.

Neither on mine in Suites the last few months. CC were pretty chill. Not least you are in an enclosed space of sorts. However, as it is a requirement for Singapore carriers by the SG gahman regardless of route, you may wish to fly with another carrier to avoid any on the day frustration. I do think that the risk is low for CC to ding you in Suites, even when heading to loos.

EDIT: Actually the in flight menu page makes it seem like its just Dinner + a non-breakfast snack? Is that right? I don't know that I've ever gone TATL on another carrier without breakfast.
