A standard Airbus cabin feature compared to comparable Boeings, especially at the rear. How do they do it ? More soundproofing ? Engines set further outboard ?

Hi Ronca,

thanks for your report. Must have been great to see history happen.

Incidently, can you remember what the departure gate was at SIN and the arrival gate at SYD? I have tried to find out which of the gates there are A380 equipped but so far no joy.

Best regards

Departure gate F31 from SIN. Take off from 20C

...and the arrival gate in SYD was gate 57.

Singapores A380 Krisworld, best entertainment ever?

I've seen many entertainment systems. older ones just have distributed movies, then their came the simple games. These days you can get audio and video on demand, outside looks, flight information and even some live tv on carriers like Jetblue. Wonder what Singapore airlines will do to keep ahead of the pack..

So is this a rumour or news? Neither methinks.

[outofsynch]

sounds like advertising to me!

So what's on the tube?

A tube is but a tube, whether it's a 380 (a big tube) or a video system (no longer a tube at all really). I don't understand the problem, keesje.

Airline bans A380 mile-high club
Singapore Airlines A380

Singapore Airlines has taken the unusual step of publicly asking passengers on its new Airbus A380 plane not to engage in any sexual activities.

The potential problem has arisen because the first class area of its giant superjumbo contains 12 private suites complete with double beds. Singapore, said the suites were not sound-proofed and it did not want anyone to offend other travellers or crew.
