Airbus A380 - Singapore to Beijing

Just completed a week in Chennai, India. Special event on the return trip back to Beijing. Singapore Airlines has taken delivery of another Airbus A380. Due to the increased passenger demand during the Beijing Olympics, they are using the aircraft on the SIN-PEK route to help handle the additional load.

Historic Flight. First passenger flight for this aircraft, first time for a 380 to land at Beijing and the Singapore Olympic Team was on board. It turned out to be a big media event. You would not believe all the News and Camera Crews waiting our arrival.

This plane is GREAT!! Amazing how quiet and comfortable the flight was and of course, Singapore Airlines Kris Service - best in the industry. The seats and personal features in business class makes it perfect for the long haul traveler. Love the smell and feel of new leather!

I know, some of you are asking, what's the big deal?!?!?! But as much as I travel, any small improvement or an additional comfort feature is major.

6 days to the Olympics. Allan & Kristy arrive on Thursday!mike
