SQ Tips, Trips and Tales

[Cruiser Elite]

So you book your R / F flts 12mths out and count down the days to be ‘let loose’ on the Krug - and then on 238 Sunday you are confronted with this:



Cristal not much of a step up from Dom IMHO - BUT - only saving grace is the Pol Roger - prolly the first B2B I have ever enjoyed - big step down from Krug but what do you do?

And now to the reds - March Elderton Command was offered in F - yes that warrants a position on a F wine list - in May this reappears:



Seriously? SQ alleged ‘World Famous’ wine panel operating to a budget again or else they all got together and gave it a fair nudge before discussions

And check what EK offering in F same day:



Not that the SV is great favourite of mine but it is a big step from its ugly sister.

Our next run is next week where we start from Sydney instead of Perth to do our first long cut.

Check the INFLIGHT MENU Cove - god I can imagine the sooking you will do if no Krug onboard

Yes I look forward to Krug. Cristal is not on my like list.

Cruiser, you’re on 238 tomorrow? Us plebs in J don’t have to worry about Krug being withdrawn! If you want some entertainment, come visit my 58 year old buddy who’s never left mainland Australia before.

Out of Perth there is no Krug as it is a business class flight to Singapore. The good news it is a sub 5 hour flight to Singapore.

I was going to say the same. I'll never have to worry about the lack of Krug at my seat although I did score a glass or two of DOM when I celebrated my 80th onboard recently on a quick trip to SIN, where I used to live.

Random Poll
Which would you rank as the better champagne, purely based on taste/quality (ignore rrp, brand snob, how good you look on IG)

1. Dom Perignon
2. Krug
3. Tattinger Comtes de champagne

The ones served in first class/lounge

I preferred the krug, but didnt do a side by side,

My first try of the hyped up Rare millesium. Very dry/zesty,
Krug i still think is the best

Probably my last F/R flight in sia

Flew SQ278, a few days ago in J, a was a little surprised that they wouldn’t serve champagne as a PDB. I mentioned that we had been served champagne on a previous couple of trips, but the response was that they couldn’t open it until airborne.
A new SQ directive?
I did convey my disappointment in the feedback for the flight.

Define too early?




And the Croque Madame

First to board 238 this morning and totally ensconced in my go to 1C seat but a couple are separated in single seats 1A and 1D - once request to ‘swap’ with the 1A female pax is requested the only decent response is certainly - now in 1A which is just so foreign for a RHDer

I am a simple man from a simple background - after 100s of R / F flts on SQ, EK, QF, TG, BA etc I still need to pinch myself that I can get to sit at the very pointy end of the plane - the excitement and enjoyment of each flt never dissipates - to be sitting here in SQ F today comparing $500 bottles of Champagne is an experience I truly treasure





How do they compare I hear you ask? Well neither rates beside Krug but here we are - 6 weeks ago I had these same offerings on 238 MEL-SIN and 26 SIN-FRA - at that time I thought the PR better - today leaning towards Cristal - give me another 5hrs to firm that up

Strike me down with a feather - Scr77 is on same flt today - I want to go have a Champs with him but flt a bit bumpy today - seat belt sign has been on for 30 mins and crew tell me another 45 mins it’s going to get bumpy again - hopefully it’ll flatten out soon and we can get to clink a glass
