WiFi working 'properly' on my SQ21 return leg - can't run speed test as yet but web browsing and emails and some downloads running smoothly, I would estimate 2Mbps at the moment although it's a bit stop-and-start.

Derek: nope, going straight though. Arrival into SIN currently projected at 4.30pm (an hour ahead of schedule) – quick phone interview with an AU radio station, having just stepped off world's longest flight but down the back of the (Air)bus – quick shower & shave, meeting with an airline PR rep, file a story if I have time, then grab some kopi-c and kaya toast (hopefully there's a Ya-Kun at T3? I believe there is one at T2) - then onto the overnight SIN-SYD flight. It's all go-go-go, I'm starting to wish I took up the option of an overnight at the Crowne Plaza and a flight back to Sydney on Tuesday!

The meal service format: two meal services, plus anytime refreshments/snacks...
After take-off...
Midnight onwards...
Matt Moran's selection...
Canyon Ranch selection...
Very amused to see the detailed nutritional content listed for each of the Canyon Ranch selections...at first I was wondering what that string of numbers following each menu item was, looking like internet IP addresses with an extra number, until I noticed the nutritional category key at the bottom of the page...
Other meal selections available for 2nd meal service...
Desserts...
Refreshments...

SQ has figured out that their target clientele prefer to have more rest than lavish meals throughout the flight. As it stands they’re already being criticised for serving the disruptive second meal midway. For those who do require three meals, there’s always a refreshment menu.

Another interesting note on the inflight.

Interestingly they have the same flying time, so I guess the second route is much safer, being a two-engines aircraft, in case engine failure the have less alternate place to stop at North Pole, also feel more lonely flying North Pole.

a review of my experience on Premium Economy
https://ttotyblog.com/2018/10/18/spe...emium-economy/
my thoughts
- it is certainly doable if one can get price sub 2k
- although it comes with 38" of pitch, it is quite tough for those from the inside to get out (even without the front seat reclining)
- go for bulkhead (or even pay for the EMEX seat) if possible
- single travellers should go for the throne seat (but beware of proximity to toilet)
- BTC will get your food faster, but you may not get any drinks to go along with it
