    You must be mad if you think they'd consider anything like that....

      Wow, now that would be something.

        This ought to stop all those traitors flying the competitors after receiving their renewal cards!
        Nice but a shame it isn't done retrospectively. Roughly 500 PPS sectors in 3 years would have tided me over for quite a while.

              If there are changes to PPS, I really would prefer enhancements of the benefits.
              Bring back access to SKL F for QPPs!

                I am with you on wanting better benefits as QPP/TPP (any benefit would be a nice start !! ) but I am always intrigued when I see this requested.

                What do you think there is on the F side that you don't get in the J side ?.

                  Better food and champagne? I miss the morning laksa in T2 SKL F.

                  I guess its more of a feel good factor as there seems to be zero benefits when flying J and having QPP. And it doesnt cost SQ much for these small stuff.

                    Nope, it's the same!. Certainly in T2. I have a wander into the J sides to see if I can grab a UK newspaper as there are never any in the F side so I see what food is available.

                    There is a slightly better food option in T3, I suppose, as they have a chef in there who will knock something up for you. But drinks are the same and thats a poor lounge in general (especially for a 'First' lounge) so nothing to get excited about. When they used to have Dom in the F side, it was worth worrying about, but that got scrapped with the PPS changes.

                    What they should be doing, is binning that ridiculous and quite frankly bizarre access restriction to TPR and just making that SKL F/TPR at T3 one big - and finally decent - First Class Lounge. Then allow access to QPP's.

                    I agree there are now zero benefits to being PPS if you fly in J or F.

                          I could tell you, but I'd have to....

                          Really ?. I've found them very quiet recently. They have had a section of the SKL J at T2 closed off during the day for a while and I notice they are doing the same in T3 SKL F as well now.

                            Man, last time I was there, I couldn't find a seat in EITHER section! I couldn't believe it.

                            But I'm sure TPR was very open.

                              I'd personally think that TPR access for TPPs and First Class section access for QPPs would be the best way to go.

                              That way, TPPs get the extra oomph they deserve with their superior status and QPPs do not get chucked along with the rest of the general Business crowd.

                              As for the differences between both sections, my observations reveal subtle, minute but shocking differences. F pax get Evian, Kleenex Tissues, Ferragamo EDT and toothbrushes in plastic cases.

                              Business gets some unbranded flowery tissues and SQ branded mineral water and L'Occitane EDT.

                              Though they are not distinct enough for the regular pax to nitpick; it certainly shows how far SQ is willing to go to distinguish between a F and C pax. I'd certainly not be impressed paying a large premium over Y for C.

                                I'm slightly intrigued myself as to why you object to the TPR access restriction (for TPPs), but don't see why QPPs would like to regain the F side access taken away during the PPS Massacre??
