Singapore First Class to LAX
Singapore Airlines First Class to LAX
At around T-45, I headed down one level to nearby Gate 45.
Remarkably calm lice-free boarding area with each lane clearly identified by class.
Although I was first to be asked to board, my SSSS entitled me to a near full body cavity search prior to boarding. It was rather amusing that the first explosives test produced a large EXPLOSIVES DETECTED on the nearby monitor. That would have been a cool pic if I'd had my wits about me. After a change of gloves, the cavity checker re-swabbed and I got the green light. Not quite sure where her first set of gloves were earlier in the day though.
I was welcomed on board by Purser Philip and First Class stewardess Chea, who with steward Freddie, provided 10 hours of simply amazing and flawless service. The elegant single row 4 seat First Class cabin.
The first of many glasses of 2004 vintage Krug.
Very cool Bang & Olufsen headsets although I went back to my Bose which I found more comfortable and more noice cancelling.
The SQ First Class amenity kit. Very nice with Lalique products that one can take with you and use at home or on the road.
Tonight's amazing menu...
In the air, the fabulous Singapore satay.
Showtime, SQ style.
Caviar with a chilled glass of vodka.
Next up was the Carrot Saffron Purée Soup with sautéed prawn, leek and deep fried young ginger. Delicious.
And more Freddie Mercury...
Simply delicious fresh curl lettuce salad, with cherry tomatoes, cress and bocconcini cheese.
For my main, Lobster Thermidor from the Book The Cook menu. Fabulous as always.
My wonderful cheese course... Camembert, Pepper Jack, Bleu des Neiges and Mimokette cheese. And a glass of port.
Dessert. OMG, to die for.
I went to the lav while Chea made my bed for the night. Amazingly comfortable and I slept like a baby for 5 hours.
A little breakfast before landing.
A rainy morning in LA and an unusual daytime landing to the east.
After a long taxi, we pulled into Gate 159. And the long trek to customs.
What a great way to end this fun trip. Thank you Singapore for an amazing flight, one of the best flights in a long, long time.
