SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[cove]

Loved it CE but my office is a deluge of business papers at home so no pics.

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Wow, that's a lovely looking SQ A380 model CE!

$40 in SSTM fake market Shanghai

 

[TomVexille]

Wow, that's a lovely looking SQ A380 model CE! I've got one in my living room but it isn't as flashy and good looking as yours

The 77W die-cast model on Krisshop is 70% off right now

Tommy Tommy Tommy - 77W? Seriously? Not in my shrine

curiousity question

how come when you are searching for flights using points, some are "check availability" a but when you click it, its always "wait list" yet there are already other days that are on waitlist

Perhaps make your question a tad more coherent?

Yes, I've seen that often with random searches but have never taken it further as I assume saver is not available but perhaps, if the date is important, a phone call would be worthwhile

I didn't suggest that you get one...

Some minor mods to SKLs in MEL - firstly addition of bench seating in dining area F:



And:



And of course barista station in J section which is located far end of food area closest to F Lounge:





And how gorgeous is barista Leah? Barista station completed trial period and now operating 05:30-17:30 daily.

And check out some of Leah’s work:





What a star!!!

And here is bfast menu F:



And my Croque Madame:

Wow, that's some amazing coffee artwork there! Certainly beats the usual "leaf" pattern that are seen on coffees everywhere else!

 

[Cruiser Elite]

And right on cue:





And on the topic of Comptes - you won’t be getting all 3 Dom, Krug and Comptes on flts - Krug and Comptes on rotation - so it will be Dom and Krug - Dom and Comptes - but never all 3

Krug v Comptes - IMHO - Krug by the length of the straight - Comptes much more mellow gentle Champagne as opposed to the refined robustness of Krug - kinda like comparing Tommy, boomy and penegirl to myself

For years word out of SQ is that consistent satisfactory supply of Krug unachievable - indeed some flts airborne with no Krug at all onboard.

Beats me - I would have thought SQ R/F was one supply avenue which would have demanded a consistent supply and would be one of the first filled

That’s pretty creepy.

 

[daft009]

I could do with some nasi lemak & kaya toast right about now

 

[MathNerd]

Are you in F or J? Can't tell

 

[Cruiser Elite]

That’s pretty creepy.

Dont know why - it’s a brand new machine and a real plus for the Lounge - coffee coming coming out of it excellent also

 

[Major]

I suppose the Taittinger will make a change from the Pommery you'll be drinking for the next few years

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Major all 20 cases Pommery already handballed onto others - I will not devour 1 bott from that entire shipment

 

[TomVexille]

And here I was thinking that you'd need a majority of that to keep your sisters hydrated this holiday season CE

 

[Cruiser Elite]

Sisters / nieces / nephews / questionable AFF friends - they all got a slice Tommy

 

[Cruiser Elite]

You know what I hate? I hate it when I cannot remember the first names of the Crew Members looking after me in SQ R or F?

Like seriously? R with IFM gives you a total of 4 - F incl IFM gives you total 3 - like FFS - who can’t count to 4 or 3?*

I put it down to the ‘Unbridled youthful exuberance‘ one feels when entering that R or F cabin no matter how many times you have ridden it b4 - combined with failure of crew members to adhere to RSA protocols by serving me copious amounts of premium alcohol! You feel me?

Made a little easier today with IFM being named Kelvin and CS being named Melvin - jeez even I can remember that - throw in LSS Doris who is an absolute star and we have an all star team.
