I would of bid for the Virgin one but theirs no hippie billionire going to be on this flight
I hate having to walk through first/business class (and see all that space) to get on the economic class.
I can’t even fit in economy so they usually have to sort something out like upgrading me or sitting me at the front of the plane - its a fun but fairly boring ordeal lol - but hey free upgrade! lol.
- A note: John when will we know whos won??? *wink wink* i’ve been such a good fan *puppy dog eyes*
i wish i could fly in the new Singapore Airlines Suites.
Lovely blog
Hey Social -
Thanks!
I wish I could too!!
Ross-
You will know in a couple days!
YAY YAY YAY YAY
Sorry I sound like a little kid lol.
Ross — lucky you with the free upgrades! How tall are you for not fitting on economic? Well… you don’t need to be too tall for not to fit there anyways.
This must be an amazing plane. Look forward to getting aboard and fly. Wonder how the Boeing competitor will be…
oh, how i would love to be back in Singapore again! great city!
OOM - Yea i can’t wait to fly the airbus and the Boeing new planes! I really think the Dreamliner is going to blow away the airbus….
Storm- How are you doing storm? I have never been to Singapore! I’ve heard good things about it!
Isreal - Im 6ft 1 and dont fit without somehow wedging into the seats so i get either a aisle (sp) seat or move me woo hooo
You are 6′1 and claim they upgrade you for that? I call BS…
I’m 6′3 and have never been upgraded because of my height. And I have flown on plenty of airlines from around the world. And I fit, even though my knees get bruised once in awhile from the seat in front of me.
