I came to this trip report intending to just skim the QF F section, decided to take a quick look at the first installment or two before moving to the QF part, and ended up reading every word.
Wonderfully written very informative report. Thanks for taking the time to write and post it.

Utterly utterly unbelievable trip report - one of the finest I've ever had the fortune to read.
I have to agree with your thoughts on the Concorde Room at Heathrow - the bathrooms sorely need redeveloped.
I also would encourage you to communicate your opinions with BA about the Elemis spa at Heathrow - the receptionists there are uniformly rude and require urgent customer service training.

Even though I don't expect anything of it - I will write to BA about that dismal Elemis Spa experience. I know rules are rules, but to be treated with such indifference and lack of finesse in a First product was really disappointing.

Fantastic read and well done on producing a detailed, engaging and colourful report.
I would encourage you to be very frank when you write to BA about the dismal service you got in the Spa. As well as the usual email channel I would suggest you also send a twitter to @British_Airways as they are active in monitoring that and are more likely to respond.
Thanks again.
Thanks again.

Awesome report 
It is a shame the seafood on the SQ flight was rubbery, it is always like this? I love the EK F lounge in Dubai, it is very easy to find a space to yourself.
i have to agree with the CCR being awful compared to those in Asia. makes me embarrassed to be British.

And yes, the upside to the EK F lounge is that indeed there's no shortage of space. I hope to have the good fortune to fly EK F one day.

The Quantas lounge is just mouth-watering. Now I really want to visit Sydney! Too bad that CX's food quality is ever-declining...
WAIT, did you make this trip in Spring Break alone!?

Thanks Annalisa12! Enjoy your trip in SQ Suites - it's truly the bomb. It's the one product that I have an insatiable desire to experience again (and boy was I lucky to score a SIN-FRA-JFK seat for February!)

Interesting to read about the Qantas First Class seats. You said the beds were more comfy than any other product. I loved the beds with SQ but the route to go with them in Suites to the US is ridiculously long and expensive. The F class cabin looks very open and not that appealing. Interesting that you rated it highly. Thanks.
