Part 1 – A Salute to the World’s 2nd Longest Flight, SQ J LAX – SIN Non-Stop


Start of another Trip Report, for this 1st Part on the outbound, I used one of my remaining RGN RJ Y tickets, what else am I going to use lol
What can I say, Rangoon keeps on loving! <3
I decided to skip writing that part bahaha
There would be 2 sections of RJ Y later on in this report anyway.
As for the return, I could’ve use the returning part of the RJ Y ticket, but needing to go back to work in healthy condition, I decided to take the more comfortable option of SQ Business and defer the RJ Y ticket for a trip 3 weeks later.


Apr 28, 2013 – Sunday
AC 791 YYZ – LAX 8:10am – 10:40am (763/Y)
SQ 37 LAX – SIN 9:15pm – 5:40am(+2) [Apr 30] (345/J)

Another Weekend, another trip back to the YYZ land.
How many trips have I gone through these last couple weeks, oh ya 3 HKG-YYZ trips in 6 weeks
Had a Birthday Party, more dinners plus another date in the falls, not too shabby.

Back in the Falls




A last minute plan change in LAX resulted in an empty Sunday in SoCal all by myself, but as I didn’t want to change the plans anymore, I stuck with my original gameplan I had.
5:00am, perfect time to wake up for any flight, especially on Sunday morning no less.
30 Minutes later, I was ready to step out of my friend’s apartment.
And a 25 minutes’ drive later, I’m back at Pearson, going to miss renting these Volvo C30s, fast and sporty.

Back inside Pearson Terminal 1, being an AA flyer all these year, I still feel out of place flying out of here



With a short wait of 2 people at check-in, I was quickly processed and off to the CBP checkpoint.
Luckily it was a Sunday morning and with minimal wait at CBP and at security.
Was quickly inside the YYZ US Departure Maple Leaf Club.

After a quick shower and having a continental breakfast mix of yogurts, cereals, breads and hard boiled eggs.
I head down to the gate 61 for the Los Angeles flight.

For some reason, Air Canada decided to shift out the Airbus 321 in lieu of a Boeing 767-300 for this morning flight, no that I’m complaining, and armed with a bulkhead aisle seat grabbed at T-24 OLCI, I was a happy camper.
