  • Double Dating With Madame Si Rattana And SQTalk's Grand Dame.....

    It’s all about the moment that was supposed to be TG A380 inaugural flight on 28 Oct…
    But just like TG usual habit, they brought forward the inaugural flight to 6 Oct... and blocked out all of the premium cabin…
    So, with the confirmed J ticket on hand, that’s no use to chase the inaugural flight on Y…
    I just changed the outbound flight 2 days earlier, and stick on the A380’s flights on 28 Oct…

    So… this was the day…
    Three hours before the schedule time, I’ve been at the TG check in counter at HKG T2…
    Holding J ticket, I want to be the first person standby for F upgrade at the counter…
    After a little chit-chatted with the agent and her supervisor, the can confirmed me that they still have the last seat on F cabin.
    But, they couldn’t release the BP until the last minute…
    But they make sure that that seat has been reserved for me…
    And they would inform me at the lounge when the BP was ready to be collected…
    They also replaced the Royal Silk tag on my luggage into the Royal First tag…
    Great…. Love their efficiency…
    For meanwhile, they issued me the J BP for two sectors, HKG-BKK and BKK –SIN…






    Btw, that’s the TG check in area at HKG T2….









    This HKG T2 is just a big place for check in and immigration…
    All the boarding and arrival process took place at T1…
    From T2 we took a train to T1…

    And here’s the HKG T1…







    As usually, I’ve never missed the opportunity to take airplanes pictures while at HKG airport…
    It’s a heaven for an airplane geek like me…

    Hmmm… I’ve never known that CI has this B744 with Boeing Livery….
    It’s just beautiful…














    Another special livery from Thai Air Asia…. (Air Asia group has too many special liveries, so it’s felt no so special anymore… )

        The next EK’s lounge still closed at that time….






        And here we are… the TG’s Lounge…..







        As I still holding the J BP, so no access for the F section…
        Only allowed to the J section…
        And just like seats in their planes, the seats here at J section also very colorful….

















        The border with the F section….

          The buffet area….
















          Just when I want to take some food from the buffet, one of the lounge’s dragon approached me…
          She told me that my friends have invited me to the F section…
          Ahhhhh…. It looked like our distinguish SQTalk executives have been arriving into the lounge….
          Can you guess who are these distinguish SQTalk's members?

          So… ladies and gentlemen…. Meet our SQTalk’s Grand Dame and our SQT MEL based honorable member…






          And here are the view of F section….

            It’s about the time for HS-TUA to land…
            So we watched the runway…
            Ahhh…. Here there are… A beautiful thing was gliding smoothly lower and lower to touch down the runway….
            So… ladies and gentlemen… meet TG’s 1st A380, reg HS-TUA, nose name Si Rattana….
            Isn’t she beautiful???















            The plane will be parked at gate 62, on the other side of this terminal… so, no view of her from the lounge…



            While still chatting with our two distinguish member, I’ve been approached by the lounge’s dragon…
            She told me that my F BP has been ready at the gate, and I can settled down the administration there at the gate….
            OK… I went to the gate, leaving our grand member here at the lounge…
            The gate was just a short walk from the gate…
            I collected the BP, paid the upgrade… Done...
            And now I’m officially an F pax… hehehe…

                              Ting tung.....
                              After the seat belt sign were off, me and the other 2 distinguish SQTalk’s founder and member, whose names that could not be spoken here, were roaming around the plane…
                              Took pictures everywhere…
                              Changed the seat position, took the pictures… put it back, took pictures again…

                              And here is the seat in bed mode…




                              And… that’s the purple light that once I thought was a controller just like at the EK’s….
                              And now, knowing it was a night light lamp, it’s make me remember the light panel that usually use for viewing the X-Ray film…









                              Rear F galley….
                              This galley was used by F and J cabins… Must be a hectic work there…
