As I sat on the 2008 interior SQ biz class seat, a male cabin crew greeted me, Welcome back onboard Ms Bensawan, what would you like to drink? , at first I didn’t notice but when I looked closely, it was Kenny, the male cabin crew from my previous flight OMG. It turns out I got the same set of cabin crews on this flight back to Singapore.. Its just that Gladys was serving the Economy Class on this flight, and I got to meet Raymond, he was so polite and attentive.
I was so happy, knowing that this flight will be served by a group of world’s best cabin crew, to me As usual, my pre-departure drink was mineral water with sliced lemon. I guess I’ll skip Singapore Sling this time, I think it’s quite early in the morning. There’s a mirror above the drink tray.
I don’t feel like watching any movie that time and wanted some rest and enjoy my flight. So I listened to music the whole flight.
The view from the window, climbing up from Hongkong International Airport.
Hongkong Airlines A330 spotted from my window , It’s one of the airlines on my bucket list. Sadly, they don’t serve any routes to or from Jakarta, the closest from my hometown is, their Denpasar-Hongkong route.
Anyways, I am so happy to be back on this Biz class seats, wide and comfortable. Thank God its not the regional biz clas seat.
The cabin crew came offering me magz and newspapers as usual, and I took Bazaar, cause look who’s on the cover, Constance Wu! From Fresh from the boat.. and.. CRAZY RICH ASIANS.
This was the menu book, ofcourse, I always try my best to avoid morning flight. First, I am not a morning person, I hate waking up early in the morning except for flights. Second, the meal options is predictable, usually starts off with yoghurts fruits or cereals, just meh, nothing spectacular.Like you can read from the menu, its either congee, dimsum or eggs , hmm..typical morning flight meal options.
But I wouldn’t mind morning flight with world’s best airline ;)
The breakfast service starts with the fruit platter. After Im done, Raymond asked me whether I wanted Cereals or yoghurt before my main course, I politely reject the offer. I have to prepare my tummy for the main course. ;)
Up close, the fruit platter
This time, I tried to book the cook the Tasmania Salmon. Surprisingly, the taste was just so-so. Presentation and portion was great though. I should’ve tried the Shi Quan Wei Mei option,duh.
Raymond was amazing. He asked whether the table height was perfect for me and whether he can adjust it to my liking. He pays attention to even the smallest details.
Btw, this was Mom’s chicken with abalone from the BTC option.
Dessert, Green Tea Mousse
Such a beautiful view, Im blessed to be able to witness the beautiful clouds while eating breakfast. Life is good
Decided to chill a bit after breakfast, the blankets are comfortable.
Soon after that, Sulaiman came to my seat and had a short chat with me. He shared talked about his country, Singapore and also my country, Indonesia. He knew my workplace, the purpose of my trip and some information about me and even knew my social media accounts. Wow, I was speechless. The fact that he knew about me, made our conversations more meaningful and personal.
After the meal service, The lovely cabin crews threw me a surprise, want to know what happened during this flight? Check my special report section.
After the surprise, IFM Ms Kim came to my seat with a box of cookies, she said it’s a (personal) small gift from all the cabin crews for me. I’m so touched and amazed.
When you’re flying with the best sets of crews, I think 4 hours flight is way too short.
To IFM Kim, Raymond, Kenny, Gladys, Shermin and Sulaiman, Thank you for the best flight ever.
Conclusion :
I have no words to express how much I truly appreciate and adore the above and beyond service the crews gave to me. They are not only attentive, polite and would go the extra mile, they are so sincere and loving to me and my family. They managed to have a chat with all of us, and I can see from their smiles, they are genuine. SQ has always been my favorite airline.
Of course, no airline is perfect, and I don’t fly with different airlines in my life, so I have no greater comparison. But It’s just that, all my memories and experiences with SQ were unforgettable. There might be many major airlines having newer aircrafts, more high-budget meals and comfort, but SQ service just never fail. Because it comes from the heart
