Hi Carfield,
The MEal service is all on one tray, I hope they will split the meal up a little, starter, then service Hot main, then bring desert.
It would jsut give it that extra service aspect and create an more formal Biz class dining.
There is a meal pic (been added), the food was very tasty, quanity was jsut right, china dishware, and salt n pepper pots, Champagne glass had logo as did the china dishes.
No Menu's sadly, but thats part of keeping costs low I think.
Second meal was Just as tasty, my battery was dead, so not able to take more pics.

The recline/pitch has been Increased by 10 inches to 60 inch

The Name OASISHONGKONG.
How does the term 'oasis' even remotely describe Hong Kong? Here's the definition of 'oasis' accordingto Answers.Com:
An isolated fertile area, usually limited in extent and surrounded by desert.
Hmmmmm ...

With business class do you get the lounge included in the price of the ticket?
BTW there are cheaper ways to buy access to the ServicAir (sp?) lounge.

However, the seats, the layout, especially the loooong space in row 1, confirms that Oasis did use an ex-SQ aircraft, but was leased out to ANSETT INTERNATIONAL in the late 90s. When the airline folded in 2001, their 2 747-400 aircrafts were returned to SQ and I'm sure SQ leased them out for a while but here it is, back with Oasis under a new name. But everything else on the plane, from the seats, to the layout is the same. The giveaway clue were the 'velour' plush looking seats with the side reading lights. I remember many a times having 'sunk into those coushy' seats when flying on AN.
AN operated 3 classes. Their J had a seat pitch of 55" (Oasis moved it by 5 more inches then if you say that they are now 60"), the F class had 80" pitch and had only 3 rows in the nose cabin. The seats looked almost identical to J's except they decline further to an almost fully flat position. The F cabin was laid out from the Door, and that's why you can only fit in 3 rows if seat pitch is 80". Because when laid flat, the window seated passenger still had room to move around the aisle seated passenger to leave the seat.
Because basically there was not much difference between the two seatings in J and F, ANSETT INTERNATIONAL excelled in the catering department with F class passengers enjoying almost full restaurant dining experiences on AN flights. There was only a curtain seperating between the two cabins. J started from Door 1R/L. But F's catering still came from the usual galley just behind that.. and I remembered seeing the cabin crew then running up and down to First when service started - and you should have seen the food. I had a couple opportunities to fly on AN F then, and boy, they still come up as best in catering in my books after all these years. No airline has yet beat them to date.

I also love the irony in your post! After stating that LGW South is the 'Chav terminal', you then proceed to enquire if there are cheaper ways to access the ServicAir lounge - which is actually quite a chavvy thing the say!
Or am I getting the wrong end of the stick and you are merely lampooning yourself for our entertainment
