    Paris Silmo fair trip in J on SQ, with extended travel after.

    Not many pictures from the red eye A380 to CDG. BTC lobster thermidor, and waffles with strawberry coulis, fresh fruit, and an idea of the leg room. Service was not as attentive at MEL-SIN, could be the red eye norm. But I got 6 hours sleep, and the Singapore girls were very attentive after I...

    Paris Silmo fair trip in J on SQ, with extended travel after.

    Was spoilt with more deserts to try as there were spare plates, ;). Lots of cheese too. So ends the HBA-MEL-SIN section of the trip.

    Paris Silmo fair trip in J on SQ, with extended travel after.

    Loved the seats, so much food, so much champagne. Seared tuna, Lamb shank curry BTC ex MEL was lovely, certainly tender and not too spicy. White French burgundy, and a red rich red to follow. Even got a nana nap of about 90 mins.

    Paris Silmo fair trip in J on SQ, with extended travel after.

    Virgin J breakfast was just lovely. Singapore J lounge MEL had reduced offerings from prior visits. Lots of deep fried food, tasty but not ideal before a flight. No extra bottle of bubbles either. The 777 outside and welcome drink. Will have to do this in small selections due random WiFi.

    Paris Silmo fair trip in J on SQ, with extended travel after.

    I took Mrs Tassieoptom on her first trip in J with SQ MEL-SIN-CDG leaving Wed 26th September. It is coming close to the end of odour trip and I realised that I had not made a start on a trip report, so will do this bit by bit. I hope you enjoy the tale of a wandering optometrist. The trip from...

    Hobart Wine tasting/Craft beer/Whiskey/Cider/Gin tour [Aug 18/19 2018]

    Yes gasworks tasting room is a must the sommelier is top notch. Sullivan’s cove tour was interesting but price is top top dollar aimed at Asian tourists I feel. Do a tasting at Larks IMHO. Pennicotts are world class and win award after award. Definitely book Frogmore, my favourite restaurant...

    BTC SIN-CDG red eye. Lobster Thermidor was lovely, could barely finish though, too much food in the earlier flights. Breakfast Waffles with strawberry coulis was just what I needed after a good nights sleep.

    Breakfast on a super quick flight. HBA-MEL today. Greek yogurt with coconut, poached pears, sliced figs, blue berries, muesli, croissants and coffee. Perfect.

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Thanks @Cruiser Elite i will certainly do as you advise. Less than an hour till boarding the MEL-SIN leg. We have a 777 300ER and row 12, so not exit row, but in the mini cabin just behind first. Thought it would be a little more special, and had that confirmed here on AFF. Thanks all. Bring on...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    @Steady I know from our conversations at the Tasmania Wine/Whiskey/Gin tour that you were really looking forward to the SQ first suites experience. From your recent posts it seems below your excitement and expectations. Overall were you happy/satisfied with the flights in that class? Just asking...

    Can I get benefit of VA Platinum when on a reward booking

    I redeemed a J booking through VA on SQ with SQ flight number, as well as a paid J ticket on same flight. We both get 40Kg luggage allowance. I am VA platinum and am flying on the paid ticket. My wife is not a FF level with virgin, due family pooling.
