I am taking this flight later this summer and was bummed to find out we will miss the suite; being the first time flying SQ, I was looking forward to it.
I know SQ uses the three prong headphone jack; I have zero interest in using the headphones provided. Will a standard 3.5mm headphone jack work? Does a Bose two prong adapter work, or will I need to find a three prong adapter?

I have a couple of vendors I prefer, who usually don't disappoint. But I guess SQ is more consistent, and uses better quality meat (and more per stick). But never quite get quite the same taste - mix of charcoal, lemongrass etc on SQ. The satay sauce itself is better on SQ I think!

A standard headphone jack will also work in stereo. I used one last week on SQ26.

First time flying SQ26/25 from SIN to/from JFK. My previous experiences were on the non-stops. Thanks to everyone's feedback here I've decided to forgo the lounge in JFK on the way back! Looking for advice re: lounges in FRA - i.e. AC MLL vs LH Senator lounge. I understand these are the two which are closest to the gate that SQ typically uses. Is there anyone here with recent experience of the FRA transit who can advise which lounge is likely to be less crowded? Or if there's even enough time to pop into a lounge? Thank you!

Showers will be always a challenge as they get booked up quickly during the layover.

The LH sen and biz lounges are pretty equal when it comes to F&B. Main difference is manned bar in Sen. Neither gets you champagne though.

AC has better decor. LH might be less crowded as they have few lounges scattered. You will have enough time to pop in both lounges and see which you like.

Today’s April 5th SQ 25 is very delayed.
Lack of infirmation on the SQ app, flightaware.
The contract staff is not helping (mind you, 300+ passengers are hoping to fly tonight).
fingers crossed we manage to take-off tonight
