Trip Report: Singapore Airlines Business Class A330-300 - SIN to DPS (Singapore to Denpasar)

in

I recently got a pretty interesting email offering me the opportunity to bid for a seat on Premium Economy. Basically, I can offer to pay any amount between S$100 (minimum) and S$580 (the approximate normal upgrade price) and basically if my offer is accepted, I will have to pay the amount that I have offered.
