Yes,flying on business might be very different.I’m retired and my job never required long distance travel...all my *real* traveling has been leisure.But asking Accounting to authorize Business Class might not be unreasonable.
I knew a lot of Japanese people who did a lot of flying. The Japanese have very refined tastes and they always want high quality. They told me that Singapore Airlines is the best, even better than Japan Airlines.
Next time I go to Europe, I'm driving.
Probably because passenger service does not haul in alot of money.
They were stupid with a gigantic passenger plane, that cannot be converted into freight. 747 rules.
Can you say, “Mile high club.”
I promise you Singapore Airline is the best airline in the World. I really wish they would buy up our airlines and get them up to at least a quarter of what they have. That is how much a difference our crap is to theirs....seriously.
One thing that isn’t mention is that the A380 is turning into something of a turkey.Only a few airlines fly them and there hasn’t been a single order in almost 2 years.

I’m surprised Singapore is hanging on to them. I guess they own instead of lease and couldn’t find a buyer.
