  • Flight review – SQ25 Frankfurt to Singapore

    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). (more…)
