I have never been to The Private Room and I am curious to hear the group's thoughts here.
I am currently booked to go from Bali-Singapore in economy with my girlfriend on an early morning flight, then spend all day at SIN for a 23:55 PM J flight to LGW. Separate bookings DPS-SIN and SIN-LGW. Original plan was to go get some sun at the airport pool during the day then head to the KrisFlyer business class lounge in the late afternoon / evening.
But, I have just gotten an insane idea in my head I can't shake... what if we position to Jakarta the night before, get a good night's sleep, and then do CGK-SIN first thing in the morning in F using a combination of KrisFlyer miles for one ticket & cash for the second. It would be awesome with the 1 row of F and Cristal, but I couldn't justify it alone for that given it's an hour flight. However... it becomes much more tempting on the proposition of having TPR access for up to 12 hours during the day. Now, I have seen reports and I can't say we'd stay in the lounge for the entire time, but it would be nice to go to the pool, hit up Sushiro, see the waterfall, and then be able to retreat back to The Private Room anytime we want. And, we are massive Champagne fiends and the allure of free flow Comtes is pretty tempting. I am also a massive whisky fan and Blue Label and Royal Salute don't hurt, plus the ultra quiet and no worries about getting a nap or shower on such a long layover is excellent. We also don't transit through SIN much, and especially wouldn't be doing it on a long haul F ticket so I feel like this is our chance.
I think I have already sold myself. But what say you, SQ experts?
