Not the China made car Chery A380....but the Airbus A380... took a flight back from London on the 31st May....

 

It was a fantastic experience, all thanks to the attentive stewardesses, two of them, who were ever smiling and ensuring that I am get what I need, and just before the flight touched down, one of them even came to me and asked if everything was fine and that I had some sleep etc etc.... good service, they deserve a pat on their backs.... too bad, I could not see them when disembarking, wanted to say thanks to them. I will send a feedback to SQ praising them.....

 

Anyways, at London, SQ flight check in at E Terminal 3, .....

Check in line for economy is long well of course with the increase number of passengers, so if you are a Business or Suite Class, PPS or Star Gold, you are more fortunate as the lines for those counters are normally empty...

Until I come to the SilverKris lounge, which at least provided some queit corner to me to wait in peace and have some view of the comings and goings of planes...

Sat in the lounge until boarding call was made and by time I got to gate, boarding process already started, had no time to look at the plane, some quick shots before I got to my seat....

Business class seats are on the upper deck, in front, with some economy seats at the back, lower deck are the Suites, which I was not allowed into to snap some pictures. The bulk of the economy class seats are on the lower deck...

I chose the roast duck with rice as my main course....

Dessert was ice cream with mango sago, which unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture of.

 

The meal ended with a delicious cup of coffee, and again unfortunately, no smoking allowed, that would be perfect...

After dinner (or lunch if you are keeping London's time, I switch my watch to Singapore time on boarding, so it was dinner for me).... it was time for a short movie and some sleep before breakfast...

My impression is that this plane vibrate more then the 777ER, lying on the bed, I could feel footsteps even if no one is walking past the aisle..... is it me or is it the plane....

 

The sleep was interupted with announcements made about turbulent weather, fastening of seat belts.... anyways did get my 6 hours of sleep which I badly needed....

My sleep was interupted with a sweet voice calling..."Mr. kapitan... Mr. kapitan... good morning.." opened my eyes and what a sweet smiling face I saw... hmmm... too bad, I am taken...

 

Breakfast was served after having a super hot towel wipe..... and some juice to quench the thirst...

 

As usual, it was fruits to start the day, followed by cereal and yoghurt, juice, rolls...

For the main dish, I chose poached eggs....

The flight touched down Singapore on time... before landing, I took a shot of the lovely FA that served me, no not that sweet smiling face that woke me up, but the two of them, they are simply wonderful.....
