Awesome! Where did they put you? Left hand seat, front pointy end?!
Just remember, the 747's may have bunks for the pilots but Singapore Airlines have beds for the recently departed. Just think who you could have been sharing your seat with then!!

Re: OMG they just accidentally cancelled my UK flight!!
I have no idea where I am - I was so relieved that I didn't ask. Will find out!!
And as for my wages - they're pre-spent for about the next ten years I think!!

Recently departed! Is this something they regularly cater for! Do you get a discount for being dead? Can you pre book just in case?

Apparently they were the first airline to have a locker of some sort for dead people! Sheesh, BA just puts a blankie over them and says they are sleeping. Yep. Deep Sleep.

That's creepy... i prefer BA's approach! Mind you if I were dead I probaby wouldn't give a shit!

Re: OMG they just accidentally cancelled my UK flight!!
Well I'm in Singaopore waiting for my connection to London (instead of Manchester)
Transfers to Brum are sorted for Friday.
The only minor issue is it's a 7:00 train from Euston and the hotel they've booked me is a Heathrow an hour away.

I hope by the time you read this you are safe sound and rested and in the uk.
Sounds incredibly stressful. Heathrow is annoying as it is HUGE! Give me the tiny airport that is Leeds - Bradford any day!

Re: OMG they just accidentally cancelled my UK flight!!
I'm back in NZ and feeling a little sleepy.
Funny you mention Leeds Bradford - security nearly made me miss my flight because I went through the whole queue, shoes off, belt off, etc. then they pointed out the clear bags for my deodorant (50 hours' travel so I needed it!!) were back in the hall and made me take all of my stuff to go and pay 50p for a bag then do it all again. Grr.
At Auckland and Heathrow they just handed you a bag if it was needed. Singapore didn't bother with the whole clear bag rubbish at all.

Leeds - Bradford is a hell hole. Always has been and I doubt it will change any time soon
Those clear bags are bizarre they had dispensers full of them for free when I went to Dublin a few weeks back for my mates hen do, somehow we didn't get asked to remove shoes and belts etc.
Are you glad to be back in NZ?
