Thirteen hours in the air demands a product that respects your time. Singapore Airlines delivers with Book the Cook, impeccable service pacing, and a bed that genuinely allows for several hours of proper sleep.
Suites Class on the A380 upper deck can be booked with KrisFlyer miles, which transfer from Amex Membership Rewards; check the current award price and taxes for LHR-SIN before transferring. London–Singapore is one of Singapore Airlines' flagship routes, run as double-daily A380 service (SQ317/SQ322), which in practice means more Suites award space than on many of the carrier's single-daily routes — a genuine advantage for UK-based KrisFlyer collectors, though space typically opens around 11 months out and thins quickly.
The suite itself pairs a leather armchair with a separate full-length bed behind a privacy screen. You can dine at the table facing your travel partner or close the partition for solo work. The 2017-era design shows its age against newer A350 business cabins, but the space and privacy remain unmatched in Star Alliance.
Book the Cook lets Suites passengers pre-order dishes such as lobster thermidor and the signature satay before departure from Heathrow Terminal 2, where Singapore Airlines has its own SilverKris Lounge. On a 13-hour sector, meal service is paced rather than rushed.
The A380 upper deck is quiet and intimate with just six suites. Noise from the main deck is minimal. If Suites pricing is out of reach, Singapore's A350 business class on the same route is excellent — but for a once-in-a-lifetime redemption on one of the airline's best-connected long-haul routes from the UK, the Suites hard product still justifies the premium.
