It was great to meet many SQTalk celebrities such as MAN Flyer, Nick C, LionCity among numerous others that i'm sure will pop into my head.

P.S. Paging HUGE AL! One of the LS' told me that over 30 bottles of Krug and Dom Perignon were loaded on the flight!

Nice to meet you too.

I hope Mr M keeps his promise. I will readily fly in for the STC visit.

I had a benefit of sitting next to a retired SQ Capt on SQ748. Had a really good chat with him about the airline's history. Will share more of that in my TR.

These were what some of us had in F until...

Appetizers :



Soup:



Salad:



Main:



Dessert:



Cheeses ... well by this time, it seemed like everyone in F decided it was better to just continue with our party and kept the bubbly and the liquid flowing.

1st ever experience for me and totally enjoyed it.

Can anyone point out what was wrong with the way this bunk had been arranged?

Hi Guys,

I didn't get to talk to some of you since I was down the back, but it was great meeting the few of you I did. SQTalk, without a doubt, has an incredibly vibrant, passionate and energetic community.

I wasn't planning to be on SQ748, but I decided to join Viraj735 at the last minute, and I'm so glad (and lucky) I did. I've flown on many 747s, but this was my first time on one of SQ's.. and boy, will I cherish the memory forever.

As my well travelled seat mate said: In 25 years, a kid who loves airplanes will run up to you, eyes gleaming, and say, "You flew a 747?!", and we'll all be able to say "Yep", because we are a part of history.

Here's to the 747.

The last time I heard clapping on landing was about 15 years ago on a flight from Puerto Rico to NY. Thanks, StarG. Either you had a cam with great image stabilization or the landing was perfect!

Hey guys, am back after a year of hiatus.....

Thanks for the video and short reports on SQ748. I cried myself to sleep on 6th April. I was initially supposed to be on the flight but was told to work last minute......Surprisingly, I was still able to see ticket being sold the day before. Judging by its commemoration, I would have thought it should have be sold out.

Writing this post makes me wanna cry again.....

I was on SQ747 in 3F, it was such a fun experience from the tour to the flight!

Great to meet some SQTalkers for the first time too.

We had some characters on board which made it one big party, I had to have stealthy cups of tea to keep up (lounge breakfast was a godsend as well).

Pics will be coming!

"Without You" (David Guetta/Usher) and "Glad You Came" were played during boarding. Stuck in my mind and remind me of the events.

"Glad You Came" were played during boarding. Stuck in my mind and remind me of the events.

All together now!

The sun goes down
The stars come out
And all that counts is here and now
My universe
Will never be the same
I'm glad you came
I'm glad you came
