Took EK348 this week in F, a bit of an annoying process in SIN and had I known everything now I probably would have taken the refurbed A380 315am departure and just had a longer layover time in SIN.

Aircraft was A6-EBM, which is the second oldest 777w according to the fleet page, wow the plane was rough, absolutely nothing worked. Luckily crew was understanding and took great care.

Short flight to PNH but managed a full hot meal, crew swaps out at SIN. Only pax in F on that leg. Another great crew who were also apologetic of the embarrassing aircraft interior.

Side note - If an FA (or a spouse or anyone else for that matter) tells you it is impossible to finish a bottle of Dom with only 1:30 in the air, I assure you they are wrong and can be done with time to spare even without the infamous coffee to go cup.
