How does SQ celebrate the first scheduled A380 flight to a new city?
Any souvenirs or freebies for travelling pax?
(and if yes, am I better flying in or out of Melbourne on the first flight?)
thx!
Hi flyGreg, hope you picked up some of those specials that SQ were offering, how cheap were those business class tickets?, these always come around when the cash is drying up, damm I was only able to get a HKG for Christmas and a CDG one for next year. Ibelieve the new terminal will also be open in Melbourne for the arrival, so this will take pressure off the A380 pod. With the A380 now on the MEL run, my BKK trips via SIN no longer seem a chore, and the direct TG flight will take a back seat for a while, so it will be nice. I have booked a couple of trips through their website and was amazed to find I had a choice of times and aircrafts and no surcharge if I picked the A380. This will also become my favourite way to HKG as there is a 1 hour transfer onto the A380serving that port. Suddenly it's all happening in Melbourne, roundabouts and slides, you just have to be patient, cheers bkkrop
