I absolutely dislike overseas business trip! Cos your boss will make sure you are kept doubly busy, you are the first to report to office and the last to go... cos you will need to teleconference the colleagues in the evening (which is SG time) and Melbourne is 3hours ahead of Singapore. Haiz... Poor me!
Well... since I am flying business class on Singapore Airlines A380 from Singapore to Melbourne, I shouldn't complain that much... hahaha. Check out the photos for the business class lounge which I went before departure, super comfortable seat cum sleeping bed and the delicious meal.
Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge. Come here to rest, read your book, watch TV, browse free magazines, or have some snacks (pastries, local delights, hot food) and beverages (soft drinks, coffee, tea, tiger beer, alcoholic drinks) before you board your flight. Pretty nice and comfortable here =)
1-2-1 forward facing cabin layout in Business Class vs 2-4-2 in the Economy Class! ... So you can imagine how spacious the seat is and how much space I am getting yah =) The seat can be unfolded to reveal a large full-flat bed where I can stretch out my whole body (since my legs aren't really that long in the first place) and enjoy a good night's rest.
Top: See! I can stretch out my legs in full... Nice. Welcome drink is Golden Spy which tastes good and refreshing. Think it's similar to Singapore Sling but is mixed with pineapple juice.
Bottom: Lying down comfortably to watch in-flight movies using the given aviation headset which has noise canceling function. Wore the headset to sleep too so that the loud engine noise is minimised.
Food is served to you in proper plates and utensils! Starter: Mixed lettuces with prawn, cheese and mango, plus glass of champagne. Main: Corn fed chicken breast with ceps mushroom stuffing, buttered peas and potato mash. Finale: Ice cream, gourmet cheese, fresh fruit and tea.
Service is really good as well. The air stewardess will address you by your sure name (i.e. Miss XXX or Mr XXX) whenever they serve you your drink or food. Well, I guess if you are paying so much for a business class seat, the service has to be of a certain high standard! FYI, cost of buiness class return ticket for SIN to MEL is abt $5,000 lor...
Don't you love overseas business trips?? hahaha... I shouldn't complain so much in future...
