no longer chewinggumlessland
Years of mind numbing allegiance to Singapore Airlines, many dozens of flights and yet I can count on one hand the number of times I've been given free upgrades. The first time I decide to fly United Airlines after a five year break and bingo, I found myself upgraded for half my journey back! Unfortunately, Singapore Airlines still remains a much more compelling experience – better seats (almost flatten out even in business class), better service, and absolutely fantastic video content available via video on demand. None of United’s grumpy service or their token concession to video on demand in first class – mini video cassettes that you really have to rewind before ejecting!
Flying Indian Airlines from Bangkok to Hyderabad reminded me of a colleague's experience with them – they were offered an extra glass of orange juice each for being good, well behaved boys :). Today, I was eating breakfast, holding a newspaper in my hand, and peering out of the window when the newspaper was snatched out of my hand with a "your food will get cold and it won’t be nice anymore" from a very pleasant, but very maternal sounding air hostess!
Newspaper had a little blurb about chewing gum being legal in Singapore again – even if buyers have to register themselves! The times are changing… :)
