This was a complete chance encounter. I had booked SIN-KUL in J, for a leg of a business trip. Planned equipment was a 777.

Near the gate, I saw 4 pilots, and started to get suspicious of such a heavy crew loading for a 30 minute flight.

Then I turn the corner and see a brand new A350 sitting at the gate! My early morning commute just went from mundane to exciting.
