Singapore Airlines Flight Reports

Take Off

SQ 857 left the gate at 10:31am - on schedule.

Meal

The appetizer consisted of a very large piece of duck liver, which tasted quite good, but I think it's an acquired taste. After about half of it I gave up. The main course was fairly delicious.

Approaching Vietnam - Ho Chi Minh City

Service

The flight was fairly smooth, but I notice the FA's don't come around to serve water or ask for drinks during the flight. Perhaps it's their style to give the passengers some privacy. Nevertheless, they're quick to respond if I have a need and ask for it anyway.

Departure On Time

Since we were at Gate 21, we were fairly close to the takeoff position towards the west.

Nearing Vietnam's Coast

Meal Service

The lunch consisted of chicken and it tasted fairly good - very moist and soft. However, the portions were very small.

Descent

At times bumpy, the descent into a cloudy day in Singapore wasn't anything unusual. Lots of countryside, then a few rivers, and then the runway.
