Just for some fun:
Until the end of 2006 I had a job for almost twenty years that took me from LHR-SYD sometimes as often as every month and rarely less than once every two months, every single journey over those years bar one was with SQ, the exception was one journey with CX which a colleague was keen to try but it did not meet the standard for me.
I loved the job and travel but in 2006 the head hunters came calling with a new opportunity that took me no where near Australia or for that matter South East Asia so although I was and obviously remain an LPPS member I haven't set foot on SQ since then and even a plan for a holiday in Aus fell away. My memories of SQ are 99% positive of the people I met and the service I was given and the product.
All is about to change and although it won't be as often in future within the month I will be routing LHR-SIN-SYD and I expect changes!
The last time T3 at Changi was barely open and the A380 was brand new. T2 at LHR was also not open but as LHR is my base I'm more than familiar with it still preferring *A options when I travel. I think SYD is the same.
My flights are I understand a new A380 on 317 and 232, an older A380 on 308 and a 77W on 288. I'll be in business class which is what I normally used in earlier times though then it was Raffles Class and Space Beds.
I've never been on a 77W ever but am familiar with the A380 from LH, AF, QR and EY. There was a suggestion I use QR or EY in my new role however luckily I'm senior enough to have insisted on my preference.
Most of my flights were obviously on the 747 with a few on the 772ERs but I'm obviously not going to see either of those types on this journey.
So fellow flyers a question to answer based on your much more up to date knowledge than mine, am I going to be pleased, surprised, shocked, delighted or disappointed with the service and product offered some twelve years later?
Although it's twelve years later I still see some familiar names here so best wishes to all.
