The junction of Tanah Merah Coast Road and Changi Coast Walk makes a great vantage point to spot one taking off from runway 20C at the correct time of the year. Best if fully loaded. It is an out-of-this-world experience!

Sad to see the end of production of this aircraft. Whatever the economics, I always loved the passenger experience on the A380, whatever the class of travel.
I have flights coming up later this year on both EK and QF A380's, and I will savour the experience even more, knowing that flights on this type will become rarer and rarer. That said, A380's will be flying for many years to come, so there probably isn't a need to feel nostalgic yet.

Tentatively, SQ308 could be operated by the new A380s from 01SEP19.Singapore Airlines - A great way to fly...

Just wondering if anyone knew of any updates regarding the A380 refurbs? Have any been completed as yet, or have any stopped service for the refurbishments to take place?
I apologise if this has been answered elsewhere, I have been unable to find any information.Singapore Airlines - A great way to fly...

We are planning to fly SIN to FRA in September return. My question is, what are the chances of having the new business class on the A380 on the Frankfurt flight?
It looks like not very high and we might just depart from Zurich which seems to have the new A380 consistently.
I know there are quite a few different viewpoints on the pros and cons of the new business class seats but since we've already flown on the 'older' seats a few times now, as airline enthusiasts we just like to try and have the experience.
Thank you in advance.
