Posted on August 31, 2019 by

Singapore Airlines
Gate: B46
Seat: 3A (First Window)
Plane: A380-800
Boarded: 11.49
Pushback: 12.25
Departed: 12.36 (Scheduled 12.30)
Arrived: 06.43 (Scheduled 06.50)
Duration: 12 hour 7 minutes
Distance: 10,281 kms

This was the second leg of three flights (with two different airplanes) to get back home to Melbourne, Australia. The previous flight was New York to Frankfurt. The same plane was used for this second leg as the first leg.

Everyone had to depart the airplane while it was serviced and the crew changed. This provided a 1 hour 50 minute transit in Frankfurt before this flight. Note: This review is similar to the first flight on the same A380 plane.

This flight was from the Rhein Main Airport (Frankfurt) to Changi Airport (Singapore). Continue reading →
