I couldn't find any info online about Air China Business Class flights from Singapore to Chengdu. After a lot of searching I couldn’t find any info about Air China Business at all!
I needed to get to Chengdu, economy was sold out, and business wasn’t too expensive (50% more than economy, not a bad ratio considering what some airlines charge!), so I decided to take the plunge into the unknown and book in C class.
I had mixed expectations about the flight... Could it be like European C where its economy seating with the middle seat blocked out? Or could it be more like SQ? Who knows!?
I made my way to Changi with plenty of time to spare... For Business Class & *G Air China uses the SATS Premier Check In at Changi T1. I think its a very good idea – beats having to queue at the check in desks. After a very quick checkin I made my way through security & to the lounge. I was given an invite to the SATS T1 Premier Lounge, but decided to use my *G card to look at the TG lounge first.
SATS Premier Check In
Airlines that use the service (although not ANA any more as the day I flew was ANA's last day in T1...)
Waiting area
Check in desks
SIN T1 TG Lounge
The lounge was pretty empty at 5:30am. I think there was one other traveller in there. There were a few pastries and drinks, but nothing much. The colour scheme matches the TG colours which was quite nice, but nothing kept me here for more than 5 minutes.
T1 SATS Premier Lounge
This lounge is huge! Again I was the only person at 5:35am. At that time of day its based on an honour system – just leave your lounge invitation at the desk. Good range of food & drinks but the Wi-Fi wasn’t working, lucky I picked up the WiFi details from the TG lounge next door and was able to use that. Better food and drink selection than the T2 SATS lounge and T3 Krisflyer gold lounge. Before long my flight was called for boarding so I took a stroll to the departure gate
