SQ 616 - Singapore Airlines (SIN - KIX)


Date:  09th April 2012
Airlines:  Singapore Airlines
Flight:  SQ 616
Route:  SIN - KIX (Singapore - Osaka Kansai)
Aircraft type:  Airbus 330-300
Registration:  9V-STM



After arriving into Singapore on SQ 748, where should I head next? Japan is my favourite destination, and I decided to try on their regional J class product before the award chart revision, which means mileage inflation. So my decision went to SQ 616, an afternoon flight to Osaka of Japan.


Silver Kris Lounge is definitely one of the best, if not the best hub lounge in my opinion. 


Quality and variety of food, together with the atmosphere, were superb and second to none if compared to other airlines' J class level. A little disappointment was that Laksa was not available for the day (or for the month?).


The airbus flying flight SQ616 today, 9V-STM, appeared new despite it has a service age of around 2 years. Service was as usual great, and I was surprised to find vast variety of drinks and cocktails available for choosing.


Despite the seat is classified as a regional product, I believe it is great enough for long haul if you compare it with those from other airlines. Legroom was more than sufficient and it could recline into flatbed configuration.


Should the Singapore Airlines' website had not been that "bugful", I would have elected Book the Cook for my friend while I would opt for the regular menu, yet the online system does not allow for such and therefore I ended up choosing the famous Slipper Lobster Thermidor. Looked nice and tasted good, but the Japanese meal on the menu looked appealing as well, I'll keep it for the next time. Yet for the BTC 6oz steak, it was disappointing, and no where comparable with the one on SQ748, which were perfectly done at medium, juicy and tender.


The flight attendant was very friendly and handed me a bagful of "gifts", which made me recall my sweet memory on how generously they gave me toys way back when I was a kid. This is why I like the airline until today because they had never let me down or disappointed in 99% of occasions.


The sky was clear and the flight was stable, this led to a rare chance of taking photos of stars at over 35,000ft, and I am happy with the outcomes.

Sushi? I'm looking forward for better ones in Japan!
