Currently the list stands like this:

We're a little thin on the ground! :D

Say 3ish PM?

A special meeting for VVVVVIP? ;)
Anyway, saw your schedule on SKL meeting, and shows as:

13AUG05 2020-2305, shortfinals, SKL F, willing to help access

Are you doing a mileage run? :D :D

It was great to see old friends again as well as meet new ones! :) ^

How many bumps did I experience for this DO? Let's see...
1. No ice cream cone
2. Embarassment at BKK immigration
3. TG676 BKK-NRT scheduled for the new A346 was changed to MD11 :mad: and unable to switch to UA

:( could see that coming though - you've angered someone for not taking SQ ;)

Someones said to me I should start to try all the new products available. The new TG A346 will be a definite answer for experiencing their new F product. So disappointed at check-in... run to UA to switch but UA F was FULL.
Part of this bump, I mentioned about my disappointment to the F stewardess during meal service. Later on, the PURSER apologized for the change of the aircraft due to the required check after the AF crash. But, :mad: he apologized to the CAUCASIAN man and woman who were seated in front of me right hand side of the plane). Then he apologized briefer to the two Japanese male pax by the window of left hand side of the plane.
The stewardess said something to him in Thai. That made him to walk toward my seat, and what the purser said to me was "Where do you come from?". I said Indonesia and he said "makan nasi" which means "eat rice". Well it's very odd for a conversation, but he never ever mentioned to me about changes of the aircraft, and even apologize like to the other pax.

Perhaps you are right... it's a karma for not taking SQ. :(

Well, Paffendorf took CX and he even got an Op-up!

I took SQ. To Penang.

But it'll be back to to CX again on Thu to HKG and MEL.

Oh yeah... I'm back on FT ! :D

CGK, we need to fly together. My extreme luck in getting service will balance out your bad luck. You could have a perfectly normal flight with me along! :p

Kiwi Flyer Aug 8, 2005 10:51 pm

Come to think of it CGK didnt have issues with any of the party flights, so peter11 there may well be something in your suggestion.

Miss u by a couple of days. I'll be flying out on 11th, breaking SIN/HKG/SFO into 2 segments for extra sectors. Anyone at SKL that day?

Btw, any chance to wriggle a BVL kit on SIN-HKG daytime flt? I'm trying to think of possible excuses to give. :D

So sorry to skip out early on everyone. But I'm sure we will meet again, if not at another DO.

Great to see all the old and new faces on Flyertalk! Until next time, take care folks!

Hi Guys / Gals

Nice to have met some of you on the SQ board. Welcome back Guy Betsy.

I'm heading back to UK tomorrow. Will have access to my first long haul in C. :D Earger beaver, I am.

Until the next Do, :)

StarG Aug 9, 2005 2:45 am

Hope your first SQ C long haul is enjoyable, SQFAN! :)

True. Until the next Do. And you can adjust your travel according to the DO ... :D
Enjoy your first long haul in Raffles Class. SIN-LHR presumably? Please post your experience using Connexion as well.
Happy flying. Happy playing with SpaceBeds buttons. :)

For those still in SIN, did you enjoy the military parade ?

Fireworks and the children's acts were better IMO!!! :)

Enjoyed it all from our corner Suite at the RC, great view onto Padang and the harbour.
