Less than Good experience on SQ out of Dubai

[TheRealTMA]

I was on an SQ flight ex LHR over the Bay of Bengal and the Andaman Sea, where turbulence can be quite servere and unpredictable. After around 75 mins of moderate to heavy bumps, I really needed the bathroom. I got to the J toilets, the crew listened to my plea, told me to be very careful but did not either stop me or order me back to my seat. The seatbelt sign went off soon after so I beat the rush. My advice is to use common sense and ask if necessary.

There's always the Gérard Depardieu option as a last resort!

Pre COVID, I was near the front of a American Ailines RJ, PTY-MIA. During the flight I had noticed an older guy visit the WC maybe half a dozen times. After landing we had a 15 minute or so taxi made longer by the same guy getting up and heading to the loo, despite forceful instructions to sit down.

The plane pulled over into a taxi siding and an apologetic PA came from the coughpit. We waited for the guy to come out and sit down before proceeding to the gate.

@Peanutbladder by any chance?

Nothing quite doing like the Walk of Shame

I'm sitting in SQ 621 right now.
Flight has been smooth other than a few mins above Kagoshima.
Took them 2hours to serve the satay and set the table and we just received the entrée as I'm typing....

Yeah I'm glad I didn't book SQ for my October trip to London!

Gosh. It's just a six hour flight as well! Bit rubbish. Hope the drinks are flowing if you want them...have a good one.

Perhaps a blended course might be more appropriate to save time…

I wouldn’t rule out SIA for LHR. Perhaps 6 hours in you’ll be on your first dish

First time I heard of this Josh Cahill was his appearance in an ad on a recent CX flight before a movie started on the IFE.

He is a tiresome man who sensationalises everything. One slip by one flight attendant or one speck of dust and he will declare it to be the worst flight of his life and spend 20 minutes berating the airline and their lack of an adequate apology (I'm not sure what he would consider to be an acceptable apology).

Do you mean like when he got banned mid-flight by an airline for a negative comment he made from the aircraft on social media?

I have an upcoming SQ flight in Y and that is bad enough without being tied to my seat for hours!

Look out for a mySQ upgrade

In over 1000 flights I’ve only HAD TO GO, whilst the seat belt sign is on, twice. It was pretty much a non event and I can’t even tell you which airlines it would have been with.

I recall one of the occasions there was some initial push back from the cabin crew and that I should resume my seat, but I probably very briefly and urgently conveyed the fact that I could no longer wait. Was I disobeying a crew instruction? Probably. Was I met at the gate by police? No.

I think as individuals one needs to make a judgement call....but not at the time, as I have seen, when gear is coming down on finals!! ,

Spot on. Pleading ignorance doesn’t cut it in this day and age. Nor does bad planning
