Awesome! I'm very jealous. May I make a friendly suggestion to invest in a slightly better camera? The photos are a bit grainy at times.

I believed it has nothing to do with the camera quality, the OP simply disabled flash when taking pictures so as not to infringe on the privacy of fellow passengers.

But nonetheless, a great report with great pics. Good job! ^ Can't wait for your F class saga continuation.

I never use flash on a plane, or at a restaurant. And compensate with ISO settings. That degrades picture quality, but I take many more pictures than if I was using flash..

MCS?'s first remark in this T.R. was to apologise for not being a competent photographer so why question the quality of his pictures? I never
cease to be amazed by those who are quick to criticise.
MCS? posted a fantastic report. He is an exceptionally helpful poster and if anyone wants help, especially on BMI, he is quick to give advice and also gives the benefit of his own travelling experiences.
So he's not a photographer! Well, he writes great trip reports!

Excellent trip report. ^^

Thanks for the reminder about using the VS lounge when flying SQ in the forward cabins out of there.

Thanks for a great report so far! You've taught me a thing or two about the Clubhouse; I never make it past the buffet. I'll have to do more exploring next time.

Blind testing the champagne - inspired!

The F crew do a great job of remembering if you order K or DP. Confused them terribly when I first accepted DP then asked to switch to Krug for my second glass.

Crew sometimes waits by your seat after doing up your bed dependant on how many other pax they are turning down at the same time. Thats when you get tuck in service as well.

SQ F is an experience indeed. Great to see you had a good time.

I wait with anticipation to hear about how to took you the food in Singapore where the food is extra spicy! (FTers of London Dos with dinners will understand this reference).
