It would have been nicer if the big plane didn't block the tail area of the 744F!

Just landed in SIN in the evening, upon heading to our gate, the captain announced that the A380 is on our right...whoa! massive!

From a little bird in the tree:

The exact date of maiden A380 commercial flight to Sydney in October will be announced next week.

It is only at delivery of the aircraft, however, that SIA will reveal what the A380 interior looks like.


Got to wait a little longer after inaugral date announcement before we see the interior then

From the Channel NewsAsia report

It is also at the delivery of the first aircraft that SIA will reveal what the A380 interior looks like, as the airline has a few pleasant surprises up its sleeve.

Apparently some at SQ are wanting to consider themselves a 4 class airline due to the new F (or whatever they want to call it) on the 380. Y, J, F and...err.... a better F. Bearing in mind they've already got numerous different First and Raffles products maybe they should be called a dozen class airline.

The first bird is definitely ahead of schedule at the moment but they refuse to bank on anything until they've actually got it due to what's happened before.

They intend having all the new products on display again at the World Travel Market in London in November, including this new Super Duper Class they've got..

This is interesting. We've seen airlines with Economy and Premium Economy (or Economy Plus or whatever) in the same aircraft. Now we actually have a First and a Premium First??? WOW! God-like treatment indeed!

The super F will have an infinity pool, I reckon

And an 18 hole golf course, tennis court, clubhouse and free buggy from the 18th green back to their seats when they've finished the round.

There is a huge gap in price and product between currrent F and chartering a jet. Perhaps SQ think there is a market there.

I'm skeptical. I'll believe in SQ installing both F and a higher class on the same aircraft when I see it.

You forgot about the childcare centre.

Oh now you're just being silly!

Hmm, can I be the kettle?

They need that in the SKL. They should just ban smoking completely and convert the smoking rooms into family rooms. I'm sick of children running screaming through the SKL. One of them even grabbed food from my plate, stuffed it in its mouth, and ran off.
