Great report btw!
SQ is indeed, and still, one of the best airlines out there, I've flown them numerous times and nearly 99% of them are faultless and well above standards. Indeed a lot of airlines are catching up in terms of service and other aspects and to maintain their top-notch status <acronym title="Singapore A...

P.S Ken, sorry there aren't any photos of the f/as in part 2! I'll post a even more detailed report on hkadb after everyone's finished concentrating on your wonderful TG report!
Maybe SQ wants to put the name "leadership" on the A380s instead?
