I am holding seats on SQ flight between Singapore and Melbourne for October using airmiles (on 747 service not the newer 777 series 300 service). I could get 1 F class and I business class and hope that another F seat appears before October(as SQ only seem to release 1 F class seat for redemption at any time). Worst case scenario is one of us goes first and the other business (or I guess try and change F seat back to business nearer time if nothing appears) which I am fine about but travelling partner not wanting to run risk of being split. Is there a big difference in seat/service to justify trying for it (and argue about who goes F class if it does not work out!) and what are the realistic chances of SQ releasing another seat for redemtion of points in F class prior to departure.
Thanks

If you choose to split seats against your travel companion's wishes then there shouldn't be any argument about who gets the F seat, if you do end up split. That choice should be up to your travel companion.

I agree mrwunrfl. I have booked the business seat in my name and F class for travel companion

On that route you could be lucky, I've always done quite well on SQ Australia flights for point upgrades, Sydney tends to get a lot of Business and First Class but I doubt MEL gets that much in F.

If you have to, Pay for it.... it's a treat!!! One day you'll be pondering first class or suites on Singapore Airlines???? Have fun!
