Lots of Singapore Club and First Class Avios availability for four people in April-July 2024

Links on Head for Points may support the site by paying a commission.  See here for all partner links.

Given that Avios seats in premium cabins to Singapore usually disappear instantly when booking opens, the fact that April 2024 to July 2024 is fairly wide open – for FOUR people – counts as news.

This is a screenshot taken from SeatSpy, our preferred reward seat search service, at 11.30pm on Wednesday night.

EDIT, 10.30am: These seats have pretty much all gone now

Avios availability to Singapore

It shows days with TWO Club World (green) and TWO First (red) seats available. In reality, most days seem to have four seats. From June there are even a good number of days with six seats.

Avios availability to Singapore

For this two week trip in June you could book for SIX in First Class or NINE (perhaps more, BA only shows nine) in Business Class:

Avios availability to Singapore

I really would not sit around if you are interested in these. HfP readers can wipe out these seats pretty quickly on Thursday morning. Remember that there is a 24 hour cooling off period where you can cancel for free without even paying the £35 per person fee.

If any of these are A380 services they will have the old Club World seat and not the new ‘closing door’ Club Suite. You also get the older ‘no door’ First Class seat.

Avios availability to Sydney

Let’s talk about Sydney

There is NOT a lot of availability on the Singapore to Sydney flight. Actually, it’s not bad from Sydney to Singapore from July onwards but it’s bad in the other direction.

This screenshot is for Singapore to Sydney for two in Club World. There are no days with First Class seats.

This HfP article shows the Avios needed for flights from London in all cabins on all routes.

Happy booking!

    Glad I woke up early this morning. Always wanted to go on an A380 even if the seat is supposedly poorer.

  • Duncan R says:

    Not really sure if seat availability in 1st is actually available.
    Have spent months keeping an eye as have already booked in BC but do not think BA are using aircraft with 1st class!
    If someone could enlighten me then brilliant.

    • Rob says:

      If there are 7 F seats showing for Avios then it must be an A380. We got 4F out of Dubai last month – those big F cabins won’t fill themselves.

    Nice! Already had peak dates booked SIN-LHR return in Club and have just changed dates to off peak dates and now flying in First both ways…and even better, off peak First costs 119k and peak Club costs 120k so I actually got a refund !

  • Tony says:

    Thnaks HfP, snagged a couple albeit on the 777 not the A380.

    Glad I woke up early!

      These seats actually popped up at around 12:30 yesterday afternoon. Managed to book First for my preferred travel date.

    I can’t find a review of the BA First/Concorde lounge at SIN on HfP (but am sure someone will point me if it exists). Only curious as Mrs Metty and I had 7 hours to kill in SIN yesterday so did a mini-lounge run. Opening times dictated the sequence… so Qantas First lounge was first, quite nice, didn’t eat anything much.

    Maybe we’re just not posh enough but we’re not great fans of lounges where no buffet as such/pick n mix and are asked ‘what would you like?’ without having any clue what the scope is (an authentic Thai curry as per Thailand? Sainsbury’s well-fired loaf?). So asked for tea and biscuits. Biscuit arrived, one of those mini things the size of a stamp. An old stamp, not the new barcode ones. But beautiful staff and a nice space. Opens 1430, not 1500 as per QF website.

    Qatar lounge next, opens 1600, as we fancied mezze. Very nice. But barman persuaded me to order a Singapore Sling which made me a bit woozy.

    Skipped the Qantas Business lounge and went to BA. As travelling F you get a PIN to access the Concorde Room. What an odd space. Freezing cold and freezing ambience, nobody else there and soulless..but I was a bit tiddly by this stage. Stayed 5 mins and left for the main lounge where set up shop right down the end and watched Coronation Street until sober. Main thing here was the acoustics….I’m not a confrontational person but had to ask a guy talking to his phone without earphones to speak more quietly please (he apologised), then later felt a bit bad as you could hear every word of others talking to each other halfway down the lounge, so acoustics are a factor.

    I do appreciate the choice that being in the pointy end gives us but I guess am just the wrong sort of customer for the First/Conc room; sitting in a small black room with no windows sipping highly expensive champers is not my idea of fun, so am curious what others make of it. And reading the IAG presentation deck am wondering whether, with the supposed increase in leisure travellers up front whether they need to make such spaces more appealing….and no I don’t mean McDonalds, just something less formal!

      I was about to post that anyone in Biz should walk straight past the BA lounge and go to the Qantas Biz lounge if its open. Great food, great showers and just a nice space to hang out in – its not often i can compliment a lounge!

        I’m flying out of Terminal 5 on BA to HKG in October and it’s my first time in t5. I am flying Club and have no status as usually I just fly with whoever when needed.

        What are the best possible options for me in terms of lounge and which can I use?

        I am first flying into Heathrow via MAN and then I reckon will have about 5 hours to kill.

        • LittleNick says:
          30 Nov30 November 10:10

          Your options are the Galleries Lounges, there are three of these spread across T5. Two in in the main part of T5A, Galleries North and South. Food/Drinks offering identical between these two and often the busiest. Other Option is to go to T5B where there is a Galleries Lounge too. This has been ‘refreshed’ recently and offers a slightly improved offering (from what I’ve read) as they have same options as T5A lounges plus some prepared items from a counter, they also have Whispering Angel if that’s your thing. Also your flight is very likely to be going from 5B or 5C anyways so would recommend possibly this Lounge. It is also said to be often the quietest.

          Alternatively, if you have Priority Pass you can access the Plaza Premium & Aspire Lounges in 5A, but I’m not sure if these are any better than the Galleries offerings.

        Noo, Qatar is the class act at singapore for Business pax

          Qatar lounge looks good, but the Quantas lounge does buffett and they have the palm sugar desserts. Last visit to lounge was on the BA flight to SYD with really quick stopover in SIN. We went to the lounge just to have a shower and the sweets then get back on plane!

        🙂 glad that you and yours enjoyed the DXB version; I recall being shepherded in there last time in DXB and didn’t stay long. I’ve reflected and concluded that I’m probably more of the Virgin, informal, type. But do love the peace and quiet of BA First, I actually sleep. BA J, esp in the dorms, there’s always staff and others stomping up and down.
