I realise this thread is two years old, but I've just found it and it's a brilliant report. Thanks Kiwi Flyer!!!
I agree, an excellent report, in fact i was late for work this morning spending too much time reading it. I explained to my boss why i was late (and about Flyertalk), and three hours later, he was still flicking thru threads.
I don't think he has ever been out of Victoria (other than across the NSW border when VIC did not have pokies) let alone anywhere near an airplane.
He also doesn't understand why i keep asking for day's off to, in his term's ride airplanes for no apparent reason, hopefully he will be educated by FT
Cheers

Dude, I think you guys are completely bonkers
No offence! I get fed up half way through when flying AMS-JFK and you sit in airplanes for 4 days in a row and are actually enjoying it! And my DVD-player and TV at home have never let me down in the past 6 years or so
This is strange but cool passion you have.
I'll enjoy reading more of these reports!

"KiwiFlyer",
There are 15 of us on the SQ A380 London inaugural on 18 March with 7 of those on the gruelling double inaugural. We were also all on SQ380, the first commercial flight of the A380.
I have to say this madness has been inspired by your fabulous TR of SQ's SIN-EWR-SIN double inaugural some time back!
FT'er "SteveTas" & Isabelle (whom you describe as "the non-FT'er from PER") are also with us to London, as is "CDG1". Please try hard to join us on the MEL-LAX QF A380 inaugural in August this year. At present we also have 3 booked on the Emirates A380 "First Flight" in October.
Thanks to your inspiration we have turned the "inaugural marathon" into an art form!
Feel free to monitor our madness at www.FirstToFly.net
