• Few commentators noticed that SQ served 2 types of the Lobster Thermidor. One just called Lobster Thermidor, and the other called "Boston Lobster". The latter was also a Thermidor, and IMHO much better because of the soft sweet claw meat. Asian lobsters don't have claws.

  • The debate between recliner and lie flat is a reasonable one for QF and others to consider. But please don't fall for the marketing bull**** of "zero gravity" 

  • Shame on SQ!  Last year they devalued the conversion rate from Amex points, and now this.  Because it takes the average leisure traveller a few years to earn enough points for a long haul J class flight, our 'loyalty' over those few years is disregarded. 

  • The article doesn't mention alliances. Levinn above seems to assume the merged carrier will be in Star. But today's Korean Air is a key Skyteam member, and with one of its main shareholders being Delta, I would assume the merged carrier will be in Skyteam

  • Am I alone in preferring the original lay-out?  As a 'window junkie' I don't like new J seats which seem to seek to hide the window.

    Sorry for bucking the trend, but my flight last year to Nepal in J was terrible. Awful food and cabin crew more interested in chatting amongst themselves than serving pax.

  • I've had similar issues. But now I have insurance cover through my Amex Platinum. The card fee is less than my insurance quotes.

  • Wear what you like mate, but respect the Islamic culture on the MH flight. When on airlines that don't give out PJs to J class, I enjoy wearing their competitors' PJs. Similarly, if cabin crew don't lower cabin temp to a comfortable level, I'm happy to go topless to make a point.
