Singapore Suites For 2 From Germany!
I sent out some Singapore Suites award space at the end of October. Since then, space has popped up here and there and we're now seeing a bunch of space for 2 on the flight from Frankfurt!
If you're planning a trip to Europe in 2022, this is a great opportunity to enjoy some insane luxury complete on your flight back to the states.
I've included the dates with space on the flight from JFK but, other than October, there isn't much.
Shout out to my friend Zach of Monkey Miles fame for flagging space on the flight from Frankfurt. He's a great follow on TikTok as well.
Now, let's get into the award space!

Flight Experience
New Suites gets rave reviews for the amount of space and privacy. Each suite is complete with a seat plus a separate bed. Not to mention plenty of space if you need to stand and stretch your legs.
Considering that the crews are excellent and you'll have your choice of fine champagne, you're in for a treat. Similarly, the inflight catering gets high marks with their "Book the Cook" feature which allows you to pre-order your meal from an extensive selection.
Please keep in mind that Suites Class is only available on the A380.

Best Ways To Book
Unfortunately, only Singapore KrisFlyer members can book premium cabin awards on Singapore Airlines (minus a few rare instances). Fortunately, 86,000 miles one-way is a solid award for first class and there aren't any surcharges.

How To Book
You'll need to use Singapore Air to search for award space.
- Select redeem miles
- You'll be prompted to log into your account
- Enter the origin & destination
- Select your dates
- Select the class of service
- Select the number of people
- Run the search
- Select the flight
- Complete the booking
Transfers from bank partners (and Marriott) are not instant. Newer accounts have seen slower transfer times in the past. Plan on transfers taking up to 48 hours. Maybe, you'll get lucky and it'll take less than 12 hours!
Holds, Stopovers, and Mixed-Cabin Awards
If you want to do any of these three things, you'll need to call to book. The number is (833) 727-0118. I generally try to call during office hours in Singapore.
Holds
Holding award space takes a bit of luck, but I've had success doing so in the past (though not every time). It really depends on the phone agent so be ready to hang up, call again (HUCA). If they refuse, stay friendly and don't argue.
Stopovers
If you want to include a stopover on a saver level award on your way to/from Singapore, you'll need to call Singapore Air to book it. You'll also need to pay ~$100 plus taxes/fees to include a stopover on a one-way saver award. One stopover will be free on a round-trip saver award though.
Please keep in mind that Singapore Air can do some weird things with married segments. You might find it easier to include a stopover in Frankfurt on your way to Singapore than to simply book a connection.
Mixed-Cabin Awards
Your award will price out at the first class rate if you include a business class connection. However, if you connect or stopover in Singapore on your way to somewhere else in SE Asia, you will likely need a business class segment. To book this, you'll need to call.
Bottom Line
I just recently flew Singapore first class (not Suites). It had been several years since I originally flew Suites Class and the service hasn't missed a beat. It's definitely an experience worth trying!
Happy booking!
