I would be happy if they cut it and provide drinkls and snacks on request.

OTOH had during the same period when I took the longer AKL flights, each of them had two "proper" meals:
SQ286 (F): Lunch->Light Meal (In the past it was reverse: Light Meal->Dinner)
SQ285 (F): Dinner->Breakfast
SQ282 (J): Supper->Breakfast
SQ281 (J): Breakfast->Dinner
I guess SQ has designated the SYD flights as "Medium Haul" as oppose to Long Haul. Not surprisingly during the PPS Sector days, taking AKL-SIN in F earns you 1.5 more sector than taking SYD-SIN in F.Last edited by Rejuvenated; 8 October 2008, 01:12 PM.

To say the A380 flights to SYD are not fun for the crew would be an understatement. If you get chatting to any A380 crew, ask them do they enjoy the SYD flights.
Last time I flew to SYD I was in 17K on the A380 so had a birds eye view of what goes on in the galley. It was manic, and I felt sorry for them. Service was still impeccable though, despite the pressure they were under.

Just want to comment a bit. The poster perhaps indeed have memorized the services very well. But may be because the poster has taken the flight too often. Thus, not necessarily would be a good employee of SQ, because the poster would be a real PITA for SQ.

It surprised me hugeliy recently that a crew member said he'd surprise med and I told him that was hardly likely. He did. London. Why? A380 and size of biz class and galley layout and the more personalised service made the sector hell. In addition many of the crew also experienced doing SIN-SYD-SIN and then SIN-LHR-SIN back to back. Since the crew trained on A380 is a smaller group the chances of getting this back to back was large.

Is it higher or lower on the new J flights (A380/B77W)?
I know that SQ has 3 crew members working on the upper deck of B744s, compared to 2 on most other airlines (CX, BA, QF for example).
