Found this video on YouTube. Although the seats do look very wide, they don't look long enough to sleep comfortably in. Maybe it's just an optical illusion.

Stupid question
We have F on SQ from MUC to SIN and J from EWR to MUC. We did the 70k level and it said that F cabin was not available. We have the F rate deducted so is it possible to WL for F? Its on LH. Would I have to check every day to force the seat in F?
Thanks. Looks like we are going for New Years Eve. Funny thing is I was just looking last night for Shanghai for New years eve but SIN is warmer..

Wait wait wait ... has anyone told Macabus about this deal yet?! 
I hope SQ has the Dom ready for the flood of FTers about to set up camp in their F cabins.

I must be doing something wrong. I started looking at this last night around midnight and then again today. I can't find SQ F A380 seats. 777 no problem. I'm open on destination...
I end up with mixed cabin tins. F on UA metal, biz or coach on SQ.

Dreaded up to 24 hours to confirm
I got the message that all segments can not be confirmed and it may take up to 24 hours. I called 1k line and she saw LH record locates but not SQ. she said it could take up to 24 hours. I asked if she did the booking would that be the same scenario and she said yes. Should I worry?

I was able to snag HKT-BKK-SIN-EWR for next week. I hope it sticks or I'll be stranded in Asia
Additionally, I was able to get JFK-FRA-SIN-AKL-NAN in November. The agents wanted way more miles, charged me a change fee even though I am not within 21 days. When I questioned them about it they said the 21 day rule went out the door with the merger. I asked why the website still shows it and the agent and her supervisor both said it has not been updated. Given I was paying $5.00 per minute for the call, I decided to wait till I am back in the US to fight for the $75 per person change fee.
All in all, I spent $350 calling the United! SQ better be worth it. I should have used skype but my work laptop .....
Now if only I could find a way to get the SQ PNR numbers without paying $5 per minute so I can select seats for next week

I credited the person that did tip me off to this, which was a reader named Apurva, who did so a couple of hours before I even posted.

For now, I don't think SQ releases F inventory on the A380 so you are not doing anything wrong. Take a chance and try C
The 777 should have F availability as you said

You won't find F seats on SQ's A380 routes, at least not long-haul routes. If you can find F on 77W, snag it and don't look back.
