MELBOURNE to SINGAPORE (MEL-SIN) on Qantas 747-400 in business class
A few hours and a quick side trip later I was back at the first class lounge. The same staff as yesterday were on duty, which brought a few comments. I had enough time for a shower, a nice sit down lunch and a few relaxing drinks, catch up on my messages and even get some work done.
The flight is called. I take the elevator down to the lower level for boarding. I was one of the last to board - thanks to the policy of calling late in the lounge ^ The flight is fairly empty - perhaps 2/3 full?
For once I was not disappointed in having a seat mate. We depart basically on time but have a 30 minute hold at the end of the runway.
A pre-dinner drink then dinner. A snack was served later in the flight but I was asleep then.
Sweater and amenity kits handed out before take off.
The cabin temperature was too hot
A slight delay on arrival at Singapore as we got put into 2 holds. Nonetheless we were not very late thanks to lighter than normal headwinds en route.
