Not SQ but Singapore related as I was on QR943 SIN-DOH a few days ago and while waiting to disembark I noticed the guy sat in front looked familiar but couldn't place him. Then an Aussie Girl walked up to him on leaving the aircraft and said 'So where are you going Mr Cheika'. Then I realised it was the Australian Rugby Coach Michael Cheika, or ex-Coach following the World Cup.

not necessarily, they always think of 'efficiency'. PM's car is now a German BMW-7series to replace Oz Holden Caprice

now a days even in government sector they apply best price policy including in travel, so not necessary the national carrier.

Going off the conversation he was having with the crew before the doors opened and his escort who was waiting for him I get the impression he is quote a fan of SQ.

That's actually for a different reason though. Australia has built its last car so now the Holdens are also being sourced from Germany though GM-Opel, therefore there's no longer any local manufacturing jobs to support. Prior to local production ceasing, all parliamentary vehicles had to be Australian given the amount of financial assistance the government itself was giving to domestic manufacturers.

may be SQ is cheaper than QF?

Interesting how an ex-PM of Aust did not fly with a national flag carrier, could have flown QF82 or QF84 SIN-SYD, or if he needs to fly F, he could have flown QF2, or prolly just the timing that was not right.

I thought I heard even back when he was PM he had Star Gold status. In discussions back when SQ's CBR flight was announced a couple of people confirmed there's no requirement for Australian government to use QF.

Malcolm Turnbull was sat in front of me in 2A on this mornings SQ231 to SYD. I knew he looked familiar but I only worked out who he was when a couple also in F asked for a picture.

One for the football fans on here and while not SQ related its SQTalk related as another SQTalker had just left the same hotel a few hours earlier.

I was in the lobby of the Hyatt Churchill in London last week and the staff starting roping off an area from the entrance to a function room near the bar. I thought nothing of this until I was waiting for the lift and a couple of guys stood at the side of me looked familiar. I then realised two of them were Fernando Torres and Diego Costa, and clocked it was Athletico Madrid who were playing Arsenal the following day.

Slightly strange place for a football team to stay (and the first time I have seen one there ) but there you go.

No offense, but who the heck recognizes the PM of Fiji.........on his way to the Commonwealth Head of Governments meeting in London?

Don't worry, none taken.

We do business in Fiji, with a Government department, so I would consider it somewhat remiss not to know who he was. Plus he is quite 'notorious'!.

Yes he was on his way to the CHOGM in London.

Let's not forget the events that led to his becoming PM, and the actions he has taken against those who disagree with him since he became PM. MAN Flyer better stay away from Fiji lest his particulars are blacklisted...

I would like to think giving my seat up for them would be looked on rather kindly!.
