Why not make the short-ish journey down to SYD to enjoy Spacebeds on the Australia-Singapore sector? Depending on when you're traveling - you could even get a ride on the A380.

It all depends on how much you're willing to spend on your trip (and there'$ certainly a po$itive correlation between how much you $pend and how much $Q love$ you ). If you don't mind being hit by all the extra surcharges, definitely check out one of the 77W-operated routes. If you wish to go all the way on *A, FRA (SQ325/326) and ZRH would be ideal - just include extra segments on LH or LX respectively.

On the current PPS qualification requirements, most of the European routes will yield the same result. AFAIK they all get 5 sectors except ATH and possibly FCO/MXP. You should get 2.5 for BNE-SIN. Same with SYD/MEL - SIN. You might want to refer to the sticky on PPS sectors for more accurate info.

You as well ?

SQfg, did I ever tell you that your satay looks seriously tasty ?

(Particularly after the lunch I've just had ... plus a few glasses of wine ... hic)

thx guys for all the info so far - what airline is LX btw - and that brings me to the next question - for bagging handling sake etc - which route would provide me then with bags coming offf first - meaning need *A all to dublin - which *A fly there apart from LH and LX - dont kno what airline hehe - btw LH business from frank - dublin sucks thoroughly - is BMI any good - swiss - lol now im throwing up useless stuff prolly

LX is Swiss.

BMI has a codeshare with SQ on LHR-DUB. Unfortunately not long enough to qualify for PPS sectors. Fly them once. CDG-LHR. Not too bad

You'll find that continental european business class flights are pretty uniform. I personally liked the savoury snacks i got on LH C for FRA-LHR-FRA. Depends on what kind of equipment they use though - if it's the AB6, AVOID and fly LX from ZRH. But on the whole - there's really no actual difference.

You might want to check if theres a Business cabin on BMI to DUB if you decide to fly with them. Not every BD flight has a business class service as they're now practically an LCC. Plus you'd have to pass through LHR (refer to jjpb3's LHR Airport guide on why you should avoid a transit through that airport).

That is why i will miss SQ's lovely ZRH-MAN-ZRH turnaround

SIN-FCO gets you 5 PPS sectors.
