I have to say that there is simply no point to this particular post, apart from my waxing lyrical over the A380. We were flying back on SIA from Sydney, and this was our first A30 experience, so it was something we were looking forward to.

Right now I have almost forgotten the very bad turbulence that we weathered to get back home – huge planes, huge jolts = stomach jolts that could rival that of theme park rides. Feeling like the ground has given way beneath you (knowing full well there IS no ground beneath you) is simply not a comforting thought.

Nevertheless, back to the object of focus…the PLANE. While the experience was not as visually arresting as when I first stepped into a Virgin America plane, there were many nifty little features that I liked.

If I had known I could plug my usb drive into it, and what looks like a LAN cable socket, I wouldn’t have had to resort to sleeping off flight boredom. Power sockets on the arm rests on every seat too (nerd essentials for plane survival)!
PDF reader for those who think the provided content is boring. One day when they introduce airline wide internet in the skies, I will be a very happy flier.

Apart from the usual movies, there was news, business book summaries, language learning, and even a mirror on the flip side of the foldable table, which amused me greatly. I really loved how I could pause and play movies, instead of being made to follow a set timing, cinema style, for all audiences, as in the planes of old.

Can’t say I felt the legroom was more than usual, but I suppose the differences only really come into play in First and Business class.
