I believe Singapore Airlines has already returned one of their A380’s and won’t replace it with another and most of my work colleagues flying between Singapore and Dubai have returned to flying on Emirates if they cannot get on an Singapore Airlines A380 2020 Pangea Green 1st Edition D240 New Defender 110 is here and loving it

I hope the A380 engines are more reliable than the 3.0L diesel and not made by JLR! RRS (MY13) Santorini Black SDV6 HSE luxuary

Last time I flew to NZ went via Singapore on one of Singapore Airlines A380's no problems, although I didn't think there cabin staff were up to there usual standards. From Singapore to Auckland, on Air New Zealand Dreamliner the planes first flight and it broke down, fortunately while it was still on the ground something to do with the wing flaps, so managed a expenses paid stay in Singapore have to admit found NZ cabin staff nicer than Singapore Airlines not quite so sort of formal.

Whilst not being particularly keen on BA business class their First Class is excellent and is often priced very competitively. Always worth comparing the price of this with business on other airlines.

Flown Emirates Business 4 times now on the A380 and we think its wonderful and well worth the extra fee.
We werent as satisified on our last flight as the attendants werent as quick as previous flights but if you want comfort,good food and an excellent choice of refeshments you wont go wrong

Really looking forward to it, not long now Christmas is out of the way! Noisy black one

Last trip for me was direct to London from Sydney and we flew BA business which was on the smaller 777. On the return we flew BA 380 and to be honest wasn't any better than the 777 IMO. The 380 on BA was a disappointment for me had the same lie flat beds as the 777 and no more room. I choose an airline based on crew competency, price and experience . I would not fly with some carriers no matter how good the cabin is. M16 SVD8 ,4.4 HSE with a few extras, Sold R50 , Wife SQ5 , BMW R1200GSW.

All long-haul operate a free bar, don't they? Used to do a fairly regular LHR - SYD jaunt and even economy was drink as much as you could! 2008 RRS HSE Stornoway Grey

Thanks for all the info/ advice on this topic. I’ve just got back from Straya with no jet lag at either end. Would absolutely recommend! Noisy black one

Just got back from another Sydney trip with Emirates economy. I'm getting the hang of that 14 hour leg now and whilst it is not the most comfortable I've ever been, its not bad either.

However gutted to see upon my return that I'd missed an email from Emirates saying I could upgrade to Business Class for £745 for the Sydney to Dubai leg. : Robin

Yes, probably (Monday just gone).

Whilst we were pedaling away downstairs with whips cracking over our heads and drum beats in our ears (those manacles don't half rub), you were no doubt upstairs sipping champagne  Robin
