What’s Singapore Airlines First Class Check-In Experience like at SIN?
If you’re flying First Class out of Singapore you are in FOR A TREAT! You’ll arrive at a private First Class check-in within the terminal staffed with porters and guest services personnel. We barely stepped outside our car before we were greeted and treated like absolute royalty. So much for heavy is the crown 😉 The doors slide open and you’re immersed in absolute luxury. Singapore Airlines First Class Check-In experience is fantastic and I’m so glad I was able to enjoy with my folks.
A dedicated staff member then escorts you to a desk where you’ll be processed.
The whole experience is swift, luxurious, and totally VIP. Because we were flying First Class to Dubai we were given access to the Private room: A lounge inside a lounge inside a lounge – yes, this could be a Chris Nolan film. But wait…before you even get to the lounge you have an exclusive immigration processing station that is exclusively reserved for those processed through First Class check-in. I’d recommend traveling with loved ones…you need someone to pick your jaw up from the ground 😉
My goal on this trip was to treat my parents to the very best the world of commercial aviation has to offer. THIS. IS. IT. My Mom, Dad, Miles, and I were all blown away by the experience.
Once you’re out of immigration you’ll see an escalator to the Krisflyer Lounge. Show your golden tickets to be escorted to the Private Lounge. An experience that puts U in exclusive.
We were able to enjoy Singapore Suites and Singapore First Class all because we transferred miles from Flexible currencies into Singapore Krisflyer. We also took advantage of Singapore Airlines generous $100 stopover policy that allows you avoid paying for 2 separate one ways. The best part of all of it has been seeing my parents reaction to the over the top amenities.

It would take a lot to beat the Lufthansa First Class check in at Frankfurt. Does it?
Haven’t done the check-in at Frankfurt so I can’t honestly compare. The LH ground services at Frankfurt are INSANE though
What a great use of points! Loved what you did for your parents. Happy for you 🙂
Thanks Kay! We’re having a blast!!
