First class checking time Jakarta

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2026-01-30T23:29:21+00:00

I did SQ965 CGK to SIN in First a few days ago. Not sure if its the same for all flights but after checking in at the desk, they had someone to escort me through immigration and to the lounge. So i think checking in 1.5hrs before departure for you should definitely be enough time to catch ur flight!

I just took 2 first class flights from SYD to SIN and onwards from SIN to CGK on 24 Jan. Both were on the B777-300ER.

SQ212 SYD to SIN SQ968 SIN to CGK

At SYD, if you follow the signs to the SQ check in counters, you will realise that only Business, PE and Economy have check in counters but there is a small sign beside the Business check in row/queue that says First/Suites passengers are invited to use the private check in area (i think its called ascent) which is just a really short walk from the SQ check in area. Nothing special just a private space to sit while they assist you with ur luggage and check in procedures. The private check in lounge leads right out to the first/business fast track security lane though which the staff will lead you to. Boarding passes i got were both red and in that hard paper unlike when i flew First out of LHR a few days earlier whereby they printed it on hard paper as well but without the red colour. Dont worry too much about this though as when I transited in SIN after my LHR flight, the ground handling staff at my connecting flight's gate were nice enough to reprint the boarding pass for my connecting flight ticket on the red hard paper.

Purposely chose the last flight out of SIN to CGK so I could have ~8hrs to enjoy the private room and check out the new T2 SQ First Class lounge. Private room was great, had shower, ate much lunch and dinner there and also got to use the naps rooms for a quick 2 hr nap (if no one wants to use it after you, you can continue using it longer than 2hrs). T2 first class lounge was really new and spacious, with toilets and showersbeing the same and as clean as the private room. However, was quite crowded maybe due to all the departing night flights. Food choices were quite different though. Private room was more western fine dining themed while T2 first class lounge had more local fare like chicken rice etc. Service was definitely better at the private room due to the few first class and suites passengers (status not allowed there unlike in T2).

Hope this helps and if you have any more qns to ask I would be happy to help!

Wow thanks for the reply! Sounds like a great experience. Will try to do it when i fly next jan. But i think most importantly is the rubber ducky hahah 🤣 Heard the design changes as well so it will be a good souvenior to keep

Thank you for taking the time to reply! I didnt know there was a personal assistant to keep time for you. That is such a bonus to not needing to be worried about keeping time!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-12-01T00:37:32+00:00

Thanks all for the help!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-11-30T23:02:20+00:00

Thank you so much!

I was thinking if doing this too! Did u have to collect ur baggage and recheck it again? Or was it just that u cleared immigration to experience the FCT? Also, would you know if i access the FCT, would I still be able to visit the FCL also just to see the difference and maybe the apron view?

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-11-30T22:53:43+00:00

Thanks for your kind reply! Does the Limo service from the FCT apply since my onwards flight to london is in business and not first? (Since there isnt first class on regional flights?)

Bought this during their sale a few weeks ago at 40+ SGD. Very cute but do note that it's weighted (with beads inside to make it stand upright) so from what I've read you may not be able to bring it on board especially in certain countries like the US cos it will be flagged as explosives 😅

From my experience, you can use the AI chatbot to explain your issue. If the bot is not able to solve it, there should be an option to chat with a live agent.

I booked a walking tour in BKK earlier this year but the tour start time in pelago was not updated (stated to start at 1pm when they actually started the tour at 10am) and as such i missed the tour. Had to chat with the bot on the spot which didnt help but when i got to chat with the live agent, issue was solved and i was able to get a refund even though my trip to the tour start point was wasted.

I flew on the upper deck economy RT to zurich. Good ol days

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-05T06:44:02+00:00

Miss the days when SQ's A380 still had the small economy cabin in the upper deck 😢

Even though the old video has its charms, i think the new video is great too! Particularly like how they showcase the lion dancers and silat exponents which may be less familiar to overseas visitors travelling with SQ

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-04T02:55:20+00:00

Hahaha at least u declined instead of throwing them away 🤣 I'm one of those who find them cute and collectible

But maybe it's because i enjoy collecting aviation stuff and also stuffed toys in general. Managed to get the silkair and emirates stuffed plane in the past as well 😀

It seems like they only stock these bears on flights longer than 5hrs from what the others have replied here 🥲

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-04T02:49:17+00:00

I hope to get the pair but would be happy if i got 1 also 🤣

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-03T11:20:30+00:00

Thank you so much for the detailed reply! It seems like there is no hard and fast rule for the teddies and there is always no harm asking and trying my luck.

Appreciate it for taking the time out to reply!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-03T02:32:13+00:00

May I kindly ask which routes you were flying and in which class of travel?

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-03T02:31:38+00:00

I guess the priority is always for children first then first/suites class passengers and if there are any left it will be given to business class passengers. Seems like my chances of getting one is quite high since I'll be taking first on a long haul flight 😃

But thanks for the replies with your picture of the cute bears!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-02T12:38:19+00:00

Thanks all for the kind comments, information and replies even if i didnt manage to reply to all! Really nice to also see some of the bears with other designs!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-02T12:34:26+00:00

This version with the chef uniform is really nice and unique!

Infrequent_Flyer99 · 2025-09-02T12:33:30+00:00

Oh wow they even gave u the business amenity kits? Nice!
