Good morning/afternoon/night! I’ve spent the past 24 hours in Singapore Airlines first class, and all I can say is WOW. I’ll have more in a bit after I get to my destination and have had the opportunity to catch up on work, though in the meantime here’s a quick teaser:
I think it’s safe to say it was the best flight of my life.

Lucky, you shouldn't set yourself up for such easy jokes...;)
Ben- Did you get invited to dinner at her house? You should buy her lunch in SIN, regardless. It would be a nice gesture.
@ Simon -- Not a standard offering, this was just the leading stewardess' special touch.

Did all F pax get the same; i.e. has this become a standard offering? I wonder why we did not receive this when my wife and I flew F HKG-SFO last month.
I have to "partially" agree with Ken Y.
I think it is wonderful to get a hand written note from the crew and I enjoy "awesome" service as much as the next one, but it does seem a little like kindergarten project work - something you would put on the refrigerator.
I have no doubt it was the best flight Ben has had but I cringe a little when I see this. Call me cynical.
These genuine acts of goodwill are amazing. Perhaps we should start it on a greater scale.
On a side note about certain hurtful comments, I do recall that a majority of well-mannered and educated 5-year olds do possess the restraint to withold expelling words that may otherwise hurt someone else's feelings or jeopardize their career.
A card that looks like a child's ransom note with cut out stickers and cartoon drawings? I'm Asian, but I am not 5 years old, thank you. A handwritten note is fine, but please do it in good taste and have it reflect professionalism.
@Ken Y. You're going to file a complaint with a management if the crew gives you a personalized welcome card?
I hope you're kidding. If not, may I ask what is wrong with you?
Creep out or not, if I get a card like that on my flight next month, I'll file a complaint with management.
It is funny how people think "this is creeping me out"...I think they are all jealous of you:-)
On a serious note, I hope she does not get into trouble with SQ management. You know, more stupid things have happened in airline companies! Then again, it tends to be mostly US airlines:-)
Am I the only one who finds this a little bizarre? While I can appreciaye the lenths Wong Chin goes to in order to ensure a superb flight experience, I have to ask: how much of an ego must one have to feel to enjoy this level of attention? It is beginning to creep me out...
GET IT SON
@Andy Haha. Come on now.
So when is the wedding?
I love it!
Let me be the first to say this..
Welcome to Singapore! :P
Is this going to be another TR about the creepy relationship you have with that SQ FA?
Lucky, I can't wait for the report! Methinks, however, that you are a bit behind in your reports :)
Thanks for all your hard work to let people like me travel vicariously!
Looks like you had an even better WC flight
@ Denise -- It was just a quick layover for me as I was also booked on the "direct" flight. No visa required!
I like this post! I do have a question that's semi off-topic (and I may find out more on your next post): Are you spending time in Moscow or is it merely a layover? If it is the latter, do you need a visa? During the recent release of SQ Award space, I decided not to book IAH-DME-SIN (even though I really wanted to...) just because I didn't want to deal with getting a visa for a 90 minute layover.
Please show/tell us what you got the crew as a gift. Would be nice to see/know. Thanks.
Mile high club?
got IAH-DME-SIN-SFO in SQ F coming up in a few weeks, am curious to see this.
Can I get a deck of cards too? Thanks, Ben.
Plus I can't wait for your trip report in Moscow....
This is ridiculous. I can't explain why, but this cracks me up.
I'd love to take the DME-SIN flight from IAH one day!
