How Singapore Airlines reinvented its signature Lobster Thermidor
Jun 08, 2022, 05:13 PMFew commentators noticed that SQ served 2 types of the Lobster Thermidor. One just called Lobster Thermidor, and the other called "Boston Lobster". The latter was also a Thermidor, and IMHO much better because of the soft sweet claw meat. Asian lobsters don't have claws.

This new Vantage Duo seat is ideal for Qantas’ next-gen business class
Jun 08, 2022, 05:05 PMThe debate between recliner and lie flat is a reasonable one for QF and others to consider. But please don't fall for the marketing bull**** of "zero gravity"

Massive change coming to Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer program
Jun 08, 2022, 04:58 PMShame on SQ! Last year they devalued the conversion rate from Amex points, and now this. Because it takes the average leisure traveller a few years to earn enough points for a long haul J class flight, our 'loyalty' over those few years is disregarded.

Korean Air to take over rival Asiana in $2.2bn buyout
Nov 18, 2020, 11:49 PMThe article doesn't mention alliances. Levinn above seems to assume the merged carrier will be in Star. But today's Korean Air is a key Skyteam member, and with one of its main shareholders being Delta, I would assume the merged carrier will be in Skyteam

Singapore Airlines to upgrade all A380s with new first, business class
Nov 18, 2020, 11:41 PMAm I alone in preferring the original lay-out? As a 'window junkie' I don't like new J seats which seem to seek to hide the window. And I prefer the old F because I could dine face to face with my partner in my suite. In the new suites dining together means sitting about 6m apart, separated...

Traveller etiquette
Mar 12, 2021, 09:26 PMI would just speak to the noisy pax myself, and have done several times. My most annoying incident was when a man was watching camel racing at full volume!

Which aircraft is best for an overnight flight: Airbus A330, A350, Boeing 777...
Jun 26, 2019, 08:31 PMIMHO the 787 is far superior to any there aircraft because it's the only one with clean, fresh cabin air. All other places take the air from an engine bleed.787, A350 and A380 have the 6000ft cabin altitude, which is superior to 8000ft because it contains more oxygen and water vapour.Each of the ...

Turkish Airlines
May 30, 2019, 05:59 PMSorry for bucking the trend, but my flight last year to Nepal in J was terrible. Awful food and cabin crew more interested in chatting amongst themselves than serving pax.

Travel Insurance for Pre-existing Medical Conditions
Mar 15, 2019, 08:58 PMI've had similar issues. But now I have insurance cover through my Amex Platinum. The card fee is less than my insurance quotes.

Sleeping on flights: pyjamas vs underwear or shorts only
Dec 12, 2018, 09:23 PMWear what you like mate, but respect the Islamic culture on the MH flight. When on airlines that don't give out PJs to J class, I enjoy wearing their competitors' PJs. Similarly, if cabin crew don't lower cabin temp to a comfortable level, I'm happy to go topless to make a point.
