Review: Singapore Airlines 777 First Class Singapore to Hong Kong

For my journey from Singapore to Hong Kong, I had the pleasure of flying onboard Singapore Airlines 777 First Class, which is the arguably the airline’s “lesser” First Class product compared to their more exclusive Suites Class on the Airbus A380.

Singapore Airlines 777 First Class – Booking

This particular First Class product is only available onboard Singapore Airlines’s Boeing 777-300 aircraft. The Boeing 777 is one of the newest additions to the airline’s fleet and operates on medium- to long-haul routes.

Singapore Airlines operates a fairly exclusive booking policy for First Class and Suites Class, limiting award redemptions to only their own frequent flyer program, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer.

To make things even trickier, the airline opens up First Class award availability 355 days in advance. To secure a seat, it’s essential to plan ahead, as availability can be scarce for popular routes.

In my case, I was able to snag this flight for a total of 45,000 KrisFlyer miles at the Saver level, plus a modest sum in taxes and fees of around $59 SGD ($60 CAD).

Singapore Airlines 777 First Class – Ground Experience

The lounge was recently renovated to impeccable standards, with sleek and opulent interiors and a layout that struck a balance of privacy and sociability.

Among the standout additions to The Private Room are four well-appointed nap rooms and three luxurious private shower rooms.

Furthermore, the à la carte…
