I'm a bit new at booking SQ suites with SQ miles (heck, I'm new at booking with SQ miles altogether. :P)

1) Is it unusual for SQ to release TWO suites on FRA-SIN, or is that just ex-NYC? i.e. If I see it available now, am I crazy for not grabbing it, or will it be available often enough anyway?

2) FRA-SIN in suites seems to be around 100k SQ, plus YQ, for one way. Is that an insane price for this kind of thing, or I won't regret it?

A. Rare from FRA but common from Europe
B. That's subjective

Thanks.

B. That's subjective

True... I mean, I guess I could narrow it down somewhat by putting it this way: I've flown OZ F (suites) ICN-JFK for 70k UA, with minimal YQ and other *A flights included. SQ will cost much more miles and taxes, plus I have to figure out how to get from TLV to FRA (and possibly from SIN to wherever I want to continue to, should I decide to make my destination somewhere else in the region). So... is SQ that much better than OZ? Or will I feel like I could've gotten the same experience on OZ for much less? (Yes, I know the routing is completely different, in completely different markets - I'm talking strictly about product/service.)

Yep SQ is miles ahead of OZ, no comparison at all. OZ would be a newish hyatt regency whereas SQ Park Hyatt Paris.

Wow. I just noticed that the JFK-FRA leg will only be additional 2,125 miles after the discount. You should come to NY for such a bargain...

Just got off last week SQ A380 Suite SIN> NRT>LAX I was blown away by SQ from the private living room to my huge double bed suite, it made CX and LH F look like spirit air compared to SQ.

The private space is really really awesome, but CX has a more comfortable bed and seat.
SQ FAs kick CX FAs though.

As opposed to a non-suite like CX.
I can change into PJs in my SQ R suite, can't do that on CX.

Its good to get up after eating anyway... Big bathrooms on the A380 vs CX's boeings is a bigger deal for me.

Might be good to get up, but I don't like changing in the bathroom even when they clean it.
Been on the CX747? Bigger bathroom IIRC.

Yeah bigger than 777 but nothing like A380.... Maybe less pleasant but it's a 2 min process that doesn't affect me for the rest of the flight... also I've flown plenty of suites but don't think I ever changed in the seat... the FAs are always snooping around. Sometimes it's hot so I like to lie down without a shirt, I guess that's a benefit.

How does one get them to bring kosher wine on board?
I remember when a coke was a nickel, and you could buy VRs in OD.

You would need to call up CS. Note, AFAIK it is only available on certain routes from the US.

ok , so when you book 2 passengers , waitlisted, if it clears, does that mean each gets their own suite or they share 1 suite ?
