I noticed Satay is not offered for lunch in your menu. Are there satays coming up for dinner?
And the lobster thermidor now really is small and pathetic. Do you think so too as compared to the past?
Really excellent trip report, it is much more detailed than I expected. I share the excitement as you right from the start as you go up the ramp towards Changi Airport Terminal 3 Departure Hall.
Thanks for the very nice, very inspirative, very informative, very enjoyable, and very enlightment TR.....
I've renewed my "9V-SIA fan membership" for another year....
Great, great, great report, Sir!!!

The Proper Way To Do Ultra Long Haul ( ULH )Flights
Day Of Depature
The flight leaves at 11pm. In the past, I used to check out of my New York hotel & check in to the Marriott at EWR.
Now I just pay for an extra night. It allows us more time in NYC shopping.
We shopped till 6pm on the day of our departure. Then had dinner at Thomas Keller's Bouchon in Time-Warner Centre.
Lovely views of Columbus Circle while we dined. The chocolate soufflé is to die for.
The limo picks us from the hotel after our shower. Costs $60 to EWR.
EWR Terminal
We seem to be the last flight out of EWR from this terminal. It was empty..
Check In Counter
The line at the security counter was .... 1 pax in front of me.
Rats! If I had taken the non priority line, I wouldn't have to queue!
The SAS Lounge Entrance
The lounge was full so I didn't take any pictures. All were flying on SQ21.
In fact, it was more pleasant to wait outside with the unwashed masses..
Joking aside, there were very real concerns last year when I took this flight... Before the nature of H1N1 became fully known ( ie milder than SARS )..
Precautions I took in 2009 when traveling to NYC:
Sit away from other pax ( OK I like the rear cabin anyway )
