I connected in Singapore from Bangkok for my flight back to Sydney. Both flights on SQ. The connection at Changi airport was seamless even with a require terminal transfer from terminal 2 to terminal 3. No problems at Singapore Changi Airport. I had time to visit the SQ lounge before the flight to Sydney. Boarding was timely and efficient. It was a very full flight considering how quiet flights have become with the Corona Virus significantly limiting travel. As usual flight SQ231 was operated with an A380-841. I like the 380 because it is so quiet. The boarding process was fast and well coordinated as I mentioned. I was at my seat within minutes after arriving at the gate. I was in the 1st row of economy at the window in row 41. The seats in this row row offer tons of leg room and two windows. The middle seat was empty which was a bonus. This particular A380 was only 8 years old but had the older configuration and it looked really tired inside. The entertainment system is not as good as the new config. I expect this aircraft will be either upgraded, retired and/or scrapped. Singapore Airlines very first A380 that was delivered has been scrapped already and commemorative luggage tags made from the fuselage are available online. I have flown that aircraft several times. The flight to Sydney offered excellent service. The crew were awesome. Friendly, professional and happy to look after us. I always make a point to go back to the galley and chat with the crew that work so hard and thank them. On this flight we spoke about the corona virus and the impact it is having on travel loads. There were concerns about job security expressed by the crew should the situation worsen. I hope not. One cabin crew member being with SQ for less than one year was really excited to have her dream job possibly threaten by a situation we cannot control. With good service customers will choose SQ over the competition. Thanks again to the entire crew for a great flight.
