This is my first trip report, of my first SQ inaugural! I've decided to share with SQTalk photos of my journey from Singapore to Chicago, and this will be done in parts as I do not have time to do it all at once.
Many months ago, when I needed to travel to Chicago, I decided to fly via JFK for a change. Between the very last 747-400 Megatop SIN-FRA-JFK and the A380 inaugural, I chose the latter for 2 reasons: 1) there would probably be more fanfare for the inaugural than the last 744 on this route, and 2) I wanted to spend 1 more day in Singapore. Thus, inaugural A380 SIN-FRA-JFK it was, connecting to Jetblue for JFK-ORD. Some of you might have remembered that I had posted in the US airport guide thread asking about this. I chose Jetblue as it does not involve an airport change and I could not afford to spend a night in NYC.
SQ 26
A380-800
9V-SKK
SIN-FRA-JFK
15/01/12
Check-in
Luggage was tagged through to ORD, although check-in for my Jetblue flight was not possible at SIN.
Christmas/Chinese New Year topiary/decoration
Airside
This might have operated the 2nd last 747-400 service from JFK and FRA.
Notice the flight with the gate open especially early? That's my flight
Pre-boarding reception
Singapore Girl with SIN-FRA-JFK publicity poster
The spread
There were finger sandwiches, siew mai, fruits, cakes and a German meatball (which I cannot remember the name for)
My ride, 9V-SKK
