Trip on Singapore Airlines: Flying SQ 77W the second time.

[SQfanatic]

SQ1 (HKG-SIN sector) :

During our transit stop in HKG. 9V-SWA is the reg



Close up fin shot indicating the reg



Almost ready to begin our journey to Singapore



Taken from seat 32K. Wing is shown on the right prior to taxiing from HKG



Something I have never seen before on a KW entertainment system. During those times, there's boarding music. Cool though.



Breakfast served from HKG-SIN with the roll on top



Complete breakfast meal



Routing....Flight took only 3 hours and 10 minutes

[SQfanatic]

Routing information in Chinese given at first



Passing over Vietnam prior to our descent to HKG



One part of the 77W cabin prior to our descent in SIN



Another part of the cabin



Almost seeing the GE90 engines prior to our SIN decent



Nice 77W wing prior from 32K, though it was noisy



SQ1 is done and arrived at A14 at Changi. Same departure gate on SQ16

[SQfanatic]

SQ408 (SIN-DEL):

9V-SYF (Boeing 777-300 aircraft refurbished)



Oh, the old KrisWorld. Brings out a nostalgic feeling of flying a 744 with this at one point.



Oh the old announcement in progress.



I missed the zooming of the maps



Zooming further into the flight



Looks like the winds were favorable along this 777 route



Oh the older flight information



Distance to Delhi. These days you deal with Distance to Destination

[SQfanatic]

SQ 773 cabin. How much I missed that one



Cruising into the sunset. First time I ever took an aircraft from Singapore to India during the evening, when I actually normally do it at night.



Getting dark on this sector.



Dinner from SIN-DEL.



Some sort of veg pulaov being served for dinner. Not bad at all.

[SQfanatic]

SQ5397/MI497 (Operated by SilkAir) from TRV-SIN:

New airport in Trivandrum. First time seeing it being modernized



SilkAir A319 9V-SBD



New MI seats. I still wonder why they didn't put any PTVs. Looks more refurbished from scratch like SQ 773 seats, hence SQ 773s are better regionally.



However, I do apologize for not taking the meals of this flight. This flight was short for one, and the meals were also not as good as before. SQ meals are better somehow.

[SQfanatic]

SQ16 (SIN-ICN sector) :

Terminal 3 departures



Gate A14 for SQ16



Close up shot of 9V-SWQ I had on Friday. My mom came back today with the same reg



Next to 9V-SGE, an A340-500 aircraft. Almost ready for pushback. I assume it was going to head for EWR during the 10am hour



Ready to start the journey to ICN and SFO



KrisWorld Text in Korean, taken after take off



Second screen cap of it in Korean



Aircraft going north after being in the airspace for almost an hour after take off from the long queue in Changi

Meal on SQ16



Getting closer up north to Incheon



Korean screen cap passing by Taiwan



English screen cap of this. However, last time I flew this route in November 2010, we did cross over HKG while flying up North onward to ICN. However, this time we didn't



Getting very close to Korea. However, the weather was forecasted for rainy conditions



Second screen cap but in English

[SQfanatic]

SQ16 (ICN-SFO sector) :

SQ 77W 9V-SWQ in gate 123 being refueled and cleaned before boarding. However, due to late arrival of aircraft from Singapore (arrived at 5:30pm), the flight got delayed from 5:50pm to 6:25pm for departure



Reminds me of Dubai Airport from last year.



SQ16 - Go to Gate. That's cool. Means we have to start boarding.



Boarding the aircraft. Seat 51K again. Next to us we have a Thai Airways 777 aircraft



Routing from Incheon to San Francisco



ETA at 1:04pm...Yeah, right? We landed at 1:40pm



In this route, you won't see any Korean screencaps sadly. Last time I flew the ICN-SFO route, there was also a Korean screencap. Don't know why it didn't occur in this one even though we were heading back for the US



Map of Asia before leaving Incheon

[SQfanatic]

One of the closeup shots of the map in Seoul before departure for SFO



In this view, it looks a LOT like Google Earth



About to cross Japan, into the turbulence zone -__- Wish I was booked on SQ2 instead



77W cabin at night before meal service was about to start



First meal on SQ16. I did like the mini pasta though on the left side which had celery.



About to cross the International Date Line



F/As wrapping up meal service and starting to advise passengers to close their window shades before dimming the lights completely.



Sunrise on SQ16. Beautiful shot

[SQfanatic]

Watched this on SQ1, but never took shots of this. Liked the movie though



Avengers Magazine on the KrisWorld cover. I love you Singapore Airlines. Thanks for providing this movie when no one would even bother to see it with me despite at one point I got invited, but had to say no because of a high workload when it got released.



Getting closer to the US



A better sunrise shot on SQ16 ICN-SFO



Breakfast on SQ16 prior to descent in SFO



Last shot of the KW before descent into SFO



77W wing in sunny skies prior to arrival in SFO



Back in SFO



End of the Trip Report. Enjoy it.

Hi, SQfanatic. To my surprise, I am actually onboard of the SQ1 flight that night too! I am sitting at 32C. I must admit that the service that night was very good. The cabin crews were cheerful and very attentive, and they did not stop serving snacks and drinks! I continued my journey to Jakarta on flight SQ958 that day.
