    I ordered a bottle of gin last week that was on sale and still got a leaf despite T&C saying 6 or 12 case of wine

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Some SQ F food photos, not a single dish I didn’t enjoy 🙂 Won’t bother with staples like satay and caviar but what is with Ketel One being the F vodka?!?! Was very jarring with the caviar… On the other hand, between sq345 and sq217 I got through 4 bottles of Krug just on my own! 😆 First 2 are...

    F saver from Europe to Australia: is it worth it?

    I booked ZRH-SIN-MEL in F saver for this August. Just flew the first leg. IMO - a total bargain, for 50k points for the 24 hours of so. The food and drinks IMO are significantly better, service super personalised and with 2 ppl in F I basically had the entire left bathroom to myself. Entertained...

    For those passing through TPR just a heads up. I was looking forward to trying the lobster laksa this morning, but alas the menu has changed and it’s no longer on the menu. I asked about it and the staff said the menu has changed for Singapore’s 60th anniversary celebrations. Seems like a...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Stellar crew on SQ336. Feeling a little regretful now of shifting my revenue business to QF on account of their lifetime status (cf. SQ). I asked if there was fruit and was served fruit from breakfast at the end of supper service, and was pleasantly surprised they offered me fruit appetiser...

    SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

    Slight update SQ336 was a little less rigid - but CSM still came to me directly to say it’s policy now only for children and he’ll do me a favour this time and ‘sneak’ one to me mid flight which he just did in the cover of dimmed lights lol surely these cost 50cents to produce a pop? Why the...

    Asked for SQ bears on SQ228 for my niece and head steward came to apologise to say that it’s company policy now it’s only for travelling minors 😢 Got four bears 2 years ago in SQ J !! (including those chef ones 😍) Will try again on the return leg in F! Hopefully a bit more flexible up the front..

    QF37 to QF1 transfer in SIN

    Just booked QF35–>QF1 Excess time in SIN IMO is a good not a bad thing - plenty of oneworld lounges to leisurely work from… My biggest gripe with tight connections like this is not so much human misconnection, but baggage misconnection when there’s a delay even at an airport as efficient as SIN...

    Flying out on SQ228 next Monday and was wondering if anyone has tried either the chicken or the garlic chilli braised barramundi from the main menu? I normally go with the lamb, but the accompaniments and jus seem a little, how should I put it, avantgarde for my tastes... Side observation...

    What I ate today - the food thread

    Mind you, it’s my first and last German meal. I can only stomach one on any given trip, then i’m right back to Asian food…luckily the Vietnamese food here is half decent 😅 Was totally famished in Vienna a couple of years ago I had to just switch to just eating dessert…there’s only so much...

    Status: Platinum Elite Property: Le Merídien, Hamburg Booked: Base room (7 nights) Received: Partial Alster Lake view room (was told if I had stayed fewer nights then I could’ve scored a full lake view room, but that’s the way the cookie crumbles I suppose..) Welcome amenity: Daily breakfast...
