Business class flights to Singapore

£2K each business is a good rate. I use Sin and Hkg a lot business and pleasure, I rarely see any deals that are much better than what you can get in advance. Finnair also have some good prices on Sin, cabin and service not as good as Emirates but its a really fast transit.

I would suggest Qatar Airways as a good option for the following three reasons:

1. Range of departure and arrival times from the UK (I assume you are flying from London);
2. Generally very good service and high quality seating, in-flight entertainment and food and drink;
3. If you are a BA Executive Club member you will be awarded a significant number of avios and tier points.

There have obviously been some difficulties with the new Doha Airport but (I understand) these are now resolved. For the aviation enthusiasts out there, Qatar fly a range of aircraft from Heathrow – including their relatively new A319 service and the 787. The new Qatar A380 might even be in service by the time of your trip…..!

I have seen Qatar sale fares J fares on offer in the region of 2-2.2k.

I agree that it is difficult to say much more without more information. Do you currently have status or are you trying to get status with any particular airline alliance? I generally see Emirates as less helpful in that regard. I assume Singapore Airlines are very expensive for the dates you are looking for?

I hope that helps and do let us know what you decide, AF.

Hi Livinglife,
I would agree with the other comments in this thread. As no affiliation with no airline, you are free to choose your airlines. WE are GOLD *A, so tend to stick with them. WE were Gold with EK, but gave it up in favour of *A.
What you have to decide is: Do you want service, save on cost, or NON-STOP flts. EK have chauffeur for J class, the A380 if you like the AC, but they change flights in the middle of the night in DXB. You will see previous threads on this site re changing planes in the middle of the night in DXB! Some pax will NEVER DO IT EVEN IF THE FLT WAS FREE. It is a bit of a BEDLAM to put it mildly! If you get A380 TO A380 then it is not too bad, but if you change A/C TYPE , then you WALK miles. (A380 TO 777-ER or vice versa). Some B777-ER do not have FLAT HORIZONTAL SEATS, but still sloping!
Air India has just joined the *A, so we flew them Business Class. ALL DREAMLINER FLTS with NO PROBLEMS. We changed in Delhi, and took an AIRSIDE HOTEL FOR THE 12 HRS OUTBOUND ONLY, and had a SHOWER/MEAL/SLEEP IN A BED. You do not go through Immigration/Customs, so no VISA. That fare was UK£1500 EACH. a saving of £1000 on EK. Cabin service was great, and no problems.
SQ AND TG are also fine, but the TG you change in BKK, and the fares are nearer £5000 for the two of you. Qatar and Etihad also offer great fares, but again a stop in the middle of the night.
If BA start offering SALES IN January, then that may be the route you should go down. NON-STOP and FLAT BEDS, Regular One World Pax will have more knowledge when the next BA sale is.
Whatever you chose, enjoy your flight, BUT THE MAIN REASON IS THE CRUISE, so I hope that your CRUISE IS FANTASTIC, with wonderful company, beautiful scenery and excellent cabin and Food.
Good Luck!

Of course MH will survive because the Malaysian government will prop it up to avoid embarrasment.

Back in topic… the EK deal sounds great. Choose the A380 operated flights and the lounges in Dubai will make the transit less painful. Remember also that BA will be starting A380 services to SIN 3 times a week as of, I think, October 2014. Might be some good deals around?

Hi BA744FAN,
Thank you for the info. It was not so much for myself, but LIVINGLIFE who started this thread.
However, you will be right because SIN is a premium destination and flights do not need to be discounted.
I was stuck in SIN when the VOLCANIC ASH closed european air space. WE were flying Business class, and got out after a week!
However, a pax I met in Raffles was flying FC, and he had a wait for ONE MONTH FOR A FC SEAT. There is only 8-12 seats in FC, so less chance of getting out. I would have swallowed my pride and flown J class, but he was adamant he would wait for a FC SEAT!!
Anyway, BA744FAN thank you for the info!

Hi Flyingcanadian,
I hope you are jocking re. the FC pax !!! But I’m afraid you are not …

Hi LivingLife,

A good way to check the options is http://matrix.itasoftware.com/ It is not a booking engine but is a good indicator of best deals. Turkish seems cheapest but the main range is £1925 upwards, with many just under £2,100 including Swiss.
Don’t forget you can put multiple departure points such as LON,BHX,MAN to get the regional deals also, if you don’t have to start from London.
