Another A333 at the adjacent gate during boarding.




Boarded the youngest aircraft in SQ's A333 family.




No introduction needed for this angled-flat Regional Business Class seat on the A333s, which would be gradually replaced with the B787-10s with the new lie-flats. We were seated at the last row of Business. Flight was about 70% full in Business Class on this sector.




As soon as we settle in, welcome beverages of juices, welcome mix or water was offered as this was a morning departure. I had an orange juice.




View out the window.




Crew offered newspapers and magazines, and handed out hot towels.






Pushed back with safety video played.






Flight time was estimated at 4hrs.




Started the taxi to Rwy02C, passing Terminal 4. The T4 narrowbody gates were seriously underutilized, with most gates ending up as remote stands for SilkAir and Scoot aircraft.
