In total, 8 sectors with open jaw between Madrid and Brussels. 1 sector from Madrid to Prague by LCC Wizz Air and 2 Sectors (1 award business class ticket) from Prague to Brussels by British Airways with 4 days stopover in London. I intentionally booked some layovers exceeding 10 hours in BKK (to maximise lounge usage in TG F class lounge and massage =D, NRT (to visit Narita city) and ZRH (to enjoy an authentic rosti dinner and a cup of hot chocolate @ Sprungli) . Had 1 night 5* hotel stay in IST provided by TK due to onward morning flight to MAD the next day.

In summary, SIN-BKK-NRT-IST-MAD-PRG-LON-BRU-ZRH-DXB-BKK-SIN

I had 2 airlines to choose between Thai and SQ for this sector and the obvious choice was SQ - for the lounge in Changi T3 and BTC Roasted Vegetables for the vegetarian.

SQ Lounges in T2 and T3 - nothing impressive about SQ business lounges. Basic amenities - food, internet, shower and reading materials. The food varieties were basically on par with many airlines in Asian airports (although better than most European lounges). On the plus side, there were plenty of seats in T3 which I think is more than enough for people travelling to Europe. One thing I have observed that bars (champagnes, liquors and wines) are not anywhere near the food buffet, they are hiding in another corner that no one will ever notice! A smart move by SQ =P

Take note of the mini massage shower holes located at the centre




T2 Lounge








In flight - Overall, good service by the airline crews, nothing to complain about.

Ordered BTC Roasted Vegetables. For vegetarian, do not assume that by ordering BTC roasted vegetables, you will get vegetarian appetizers. You need to make a call to customer service to remind them otherwise the appetizers might not be vegetarian.

Had Heidsieck for pre takeoff, Apple Bliss for post takeoff, followed by Riesling with the meals (not in the menu) and end with Colombian Supremo coffee.

Some exclusive offerings that you might not find on other airlines: Blue Mountain coffees in F, premium TWG teas in premium class and mouth wash found in all classes lavatories =p











BTC Roasted Vegetables.

Upon arrival, I had a full body oil massage at Royal Orchid Spa and dinner at the F class lounge. As the lounge is not operating 24hrs, I booked a nearby airport hotel for a short nap before continue my flight to NRT the next early morning.

With fully escorted service and buggy ride within the airport, spacious lounge with ala carte dining, private corners & slumber rooms facilities and lastly the famous Royal Orchid Spa ..... I am truely convinced why TG ground service can consistently achieved top spot in many avaiation awards. Excellent service ^


F Class Lounge on the day of arrival









Dinner with vegetarian tom yum soup, salad, egg fried rice accompanied with Mo?t & Chandon champagne and red wine.

Not till you hit 20 posts (i think). We'd like to keep things consistent and fair for everyone You're not far away..., and there's always a moderator somewhere around the world awake. Like this one sitting at her hotel room in Makati at 2am on a Saturday morning...
