OT: Will Prince William & Kate fly to SIN on BA?

Now that there is no Royal aircraft, would the Royal Couple be subjected to commercial aircraft? And in this, would it be on BA?

Newspaper reports say that the couple will be landing in Singapore late afternoon, and BA15 arrives at 505pm.

So am wondering that's all.

No I'm not going to greet them. Only to time myself to avoid certain parts of town if they are staying at the Raffles for example.

Thanks

Are they not staying at the Ambassadors residence? Pretty likely they are on BA15 I'd say

No guarantee that AVOD will work either

They mostly stayed in their seats. They smiled / nodded to other passengers as they left.

It did not delayed the early arrival flight at all. Crew told us because of the royals on board we had priority for landing at LHR.

It was NEW FIRST with a non functioning video entertainment system (They passed 100 pound vouchers in First). The FC crew was fantastic (food mediocre). No mention by the captain or crew about royal passengers. does who noted, noted.

Only for a small section of the trip. I think it is to help boost tourism.

IF they are flying BA, the real question is: did they use the voucher?
