A380

So SQ got the largest plane in aviation history. It is so big that Discovery Channel (probably also paid by SIA) did a documentary on it called "Giant of the Sky". People are swooning over the bright future of SQ and its financial prowess and how A380 is going to change the future of long haul flights as it has the ability of travel without the need for refuel transits.

Big deal.

It is still not going to do SQ any good if it continues to charge an arm and a leg for a seat as well as not doing anything about the crappy services from our SQ girls. I have flown plenty of airlines in my life, from the sucky (Turkish Air and Lao Air) to reputably good ones (SQ, British Air) but yet to counter an airline as expensive as SQ. Put simply, you need to prostitute yourself to earn enough money to afford a seat on our national carrier. A seat in the economy class from Singapore to London costs more than S$2200. Holy macaroni. The seats must be lined with fur and the air stewardess should offer "special services" with that kind of price. BA is S$1900 while Royal Brunei is around S$1000. I cannot even imagine the price SQ is going to charge for a seat of S380. You probably have to cut off both arms and a leg.

The only great thing about SQ is its food and inflight entertainment. On my flight back from Thailand, I have Hainese chicken rice which was probably, hands down, the best airline food I ever had.

And the SQ stewardess are terrible. They are really just vases; trained to smile and look pretty but are not really sincere or equipped with people handling skills. You always have this feeling that they look down and patronise the economy class passengers. And the wonderful thing about SQ stewardess? Many of them are not Singaporeans at all and they are also fugly as hell. What the hell happen to our Singapore Girl branding? Paying thousands to eat chicken rice and sit in a big plane is not going to help our national carrier in the long term.
