Singapore Airlines Airbus A350 for Melbourne in May, June

Feb 23, 2017, 02:18 PM

Update - I have been re-booked by SQ on alternative flights and which had to be referred up within the SQ hierarchy for approval, but still in First. I had to be flexible and now leave a day earlier and return a day later. But a good result - thanks SQ.

Does anyone have any experience with SQ re-booking when they make aircraft changes. I was booked in First on award tickets on the 217/218 during the now A350 period (through to LHR). My booking now shows 'reserved' on the A350 operated 217/218 but in Business. When I called SQ I was told I had be...
Can the radical 'Space X' business class make the middle seat desirable?

Jun 29, 2016, 08:14 PM

I am confused. All the images of the new concept show the seats in line window to window but there is a comment they would be staggered a la Korean Air. If staggered it all makes sense except how the middle (or window) seats would gain any more space for toes to hang over into the access path - ...

Thanks Chris The dedication you guys put in to get us the best shots - 15 takes whilst abstaining from the lobster. More will power than me. A great shot by regular standards - so quite an achievement with turbulence.

Chris - an odd observation I admit, but: In the photo of the lobster main course the surface of the wine is at a steep angle - akin to turbulence - but the surface of the water appears flat. Is it: a) an optical illusion b) the result of turbulence (but the two liquids not moving in unison) ...

1st Class Lounge access to VA Plat at LAX?

Jan 16, 2014, 04:59 PM

I was in the new LAX Star Alliance lounge in early December and used the First lounge as a VA Platinum. It has to said the lounge as a whole is fantastic.To be honest the First section is a bit of a let down in terms of location and space - the service on the other hand was great. The main lounge...
Thai Airways Upgrades At Check-in possible?

Aug 01, 2013, 11:46 AM

Managed to upgrade from Business to First from London to Bangkok for US$500 back in 2008. Flat rate per sector for an 1 cabin upgrade. My understanding is it can only be done at checkin and has to be done at the commencement of each sector, eg if flying SYD-LHR you can only request BKK-LHR w...
Cabin temperature on Etihad flights?

Jul 19, 2013, 03:15 PM

Have flown MEL to Europe and back twice with Etihad and found the temperature fine on all flights (in Business and First). I don't like to be hot so always take shorts, a T-shirt and thongs (don't like using the facilities in bare feet!) to wear on the plane and this way I keep cool. Best wa...
