My last time visiting SGN was Jan 2007, at that moment I didn't think about I can be the city again in a short future.
However, I got the chance again just last week for business. Chance for spotting there possible again!!

Sneeze's ride back home today
B-KPF arrived as CX713 and departed back as CX716 to Hong Kong. Perhaps CX knew Sneeze was going to be onboard this flight today and made a last minute switch from the usual B773 (non ER) hehe.http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v446/dol...09/B-KPF_MW.jpg
Finally home!!
I was happy to meet you guys in SIN Changi Bench this afternoon incidentally to make the mini gathering thereby.
My flight was unexpected nice, most of the crews made me feel they are nice. And I was allowed to have shots in Biz and First class after landing. (I know this is nothing special, but well, at least I can take a bit longer than without asked)
Photos? Hopes to share with you guys asap, since after 1 day of rest, busy work start again
By the way, you guys should have spotted also the OneWorld BA G-BNLI. Why not share, huh? hahaha
Great time to spot with you gangs, and the two Ah Baks - Kwek and KC.

Hi Uncle Pieter,
UIH is Qui Nhon.
I hope there will have time to have a short, really short trip to SIN.
Xin Chao, Sneeze !!!
RJ70 ? this is new to me...
What city is UIH ? Hue ?
SGN-SIN v.v. can be flown by TR/Tiger, 3K/Jetstar or SQ/SIA...I will be flying this very same stretch end-of-July/beginning-of-August (see my siggy)
-
Hi Robin,
Thanks for your prompt feedback.
Unluckily, my ETA is possible to be changed. If you are possible to meet and spot together, I am please to keep you post my most-updated itinerary.
My flight of the RJ70 is VN458/9 from SGN to UIH. But if my schedule is going to be changed, then I may have no chance to ride of this, to me, special aircraft.
Anyway, since this biz trip is suddenly needed to be reschedule, so I am not sure if I still have chance to go SIN. However, I check the site of Changi and found there are quite a number of flight running SGN/SIN, sadly, the time is not really nice for a stop-over in SIN. Hope I can make the SIN possible.
Best regards,
Sneeze
Hi Sneeze,Are you coming to Hanoi or HCMC? Maybe, you give me the flight number, I am able to find out for you.
Also, you said you are flying to SIN, from HAN or SGN?
-
I have just made a search on VN's site, and find that I will be on such flight by Avro RJ70 Avroliner later.
But from VN's fleet list, I don't find any information about this type of aircraft.
So anyone know what aircraft I will be on?
Beside, I would take a short trip to SIN after this Vietnam trip, is that only Tiger flying for such route?
Thanks.
-
Time to renew again with still a short list here:
SQ (B744, B773, B772, B77W)
CX (B744, B773, A333, A343)
OZ (B74E, A333)
UO (B738)
HX (B738, opt. for UO flt)

Hey Sneeze, thats OK bro! I had a great time in HKG Thanks for your help in getting me to Sha Lo Wan and back. And nice to meet you - ground to air 
Excellent shot there! Better weather than when I was up there. The views from the Ngong Ping cable car are fantastic. BTW your shot is now Top of 24 hours on Anet! Congratulations....
- Vivek
Yes, I realized that when it was on the 4th place. So happy to have a shot that can be top again....
-
Great shots from Vivek, hope you enjoy the time in HKG.
Sorry that I couldn't spot with you, due to the bad weather (I was at the airport for 2 hours sitting and viewing planes take off in vis. lower than 500m that morning before it was time for shop in downtown opens). At least we could meet ground-to-air(11/floor), hope to see you again wherever Hong Kong, BOM, or in KUL.
I was having a busy month since my team was having a function with customers. This is what I have spotted recently by luck to go out for a short trip with customers to the Big Buddha and could get this shot possible. This is what I have dreamed to nail for a year!! Enjoy.
-
HOT!!!! CX's first OneWorld Painted aircraft, B-HXG.
Sorry for the quality, taken the shot from my temp. office.
-
Traffic-wise, KUL for sure. But if finally it is really nothing can be done in KUL, I will prefer BKI, for a relaxing anniversary gathering with all of you.
Anyway, I am still planning my holiday for the anniversary, I hope I can meet you all.

Russia’s S7 Airlines to join oneworld alliance
26 May 2009
Russia’s leading domestic airline, S7 Airlines, is to join one world®, the world’s leading quality airline alliance.
After being unanimously elected on board by the grouping’s existing ten member airlines, which include some of the best and biggest names in the industry, S7 will become part of one world, offering the alliance’s full range of services, benefits and fares, during 2010.
As a first step, its network will be added from 1 June to the Global Explorer round-the-world fare offered by all one world member airlines and selected carriers that are not part of the alliance.
British Airways will support S7 through its 18-month alliance implementation programme, as its one world sponsor.
Its addition to oneworld will link one of the most extensive networks covering Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, with one world’s unrivalled global network, as the only alliance including airlines based on every continent.
S7 serves 72 destinations worldwide – 38 of them in Russia. It will add 54 cities to the one world map – 35 of them in Russia. It will bring eight countries onto the alliance’s network - Armenia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.
This will expand one world’s network to nearly 750 destinations in almost 150 countries, served by a combined fleet of 2,300 aircraft operating almost 8,500 flights a day, carrying more than 330 million passengers a year.
S7 is Russia’s leading airline in terms of domestic passenger carryings, customer service quality and innovation. It is majority privately owned.
It is the first carrier in Russia to convert to an all Western-built Airbus and Boeing fleet and the first to adopt full electronic ticketing and on-line reservations and sales. It holds the internationally recognised IOSA (International Air Transport Association Operational Safety Audit) certification, renewed in October 2008.
It offers two-class in-flight product to international standards on all departures – Business Class and Economy.
Its fleet, decorated in a distinctive bright green livery, includes 26 Airbus A320 family types, seven Airbus A310 and two Boeing 767s, with an average age of nine years.
S7 carried 6 million passengers in 2008, with a bigger share of the domestic Russian air travel market than any other airline. Including its international network, it is Russia’s second biggest carrier.
S7’s main hub Moscow Domodedovo - the capital’s most modern airport - is served also by oneworld members American Airlines, British Airways, Iberia, Japan Airlines and Royal Jordanian. Its secondary hubs are Novosibirsk and Irkutsk. Its international destinations include one world hubs Madrid and Bangkok.
Besides Moscow Domodedovo, one world’s existing members currently serve three other destinations in Russia – Moscow Sheremetyevo, St Petersburg and Yekaterinburg.
In the months ahead, S7 will adapt key internal processes into line with one world requirements, link its IT systems to those of its one world partners and carry out an extensive employee training and communications programmes to ensure that S7 employees worldwide are ready to provide one world’s customer services and benefits from day one.
An exact date will be confirmed for it to join during 2010, once all its pre-joining requirements are sufficiently progressed.
Willie Walsh, Chief Executive of British Airways, S7’s oneworld sponsor, said: “S7 is a perfect fit for oneworld. It has a strong focus on customer service and safety and its network will be able to integrate effectively with the existing one world network. one world’s priority is the quality rather than quantity of member airlines, which is why British Airways is delighted to be developing our relationship with S7 further by acting as its sponsor into the alliance.”
oneworld Managing Partner John McCulloch added: “S7 fills one of oneworld’s few remaining membership ‘white spaces’ with a carrier that matches our alliance’s demanding quality requirements. It will expand one world’s presence substantially in Russia and the Commonwealth of Independent States, while enabling S7 to offer its customers a truly global network on quality partners. We are delighted to welcome them to the one world alliance.”
S7 Chief Executive Vladimir Obyedkov said: “S7 Airlines is delighted to be joining the world’s leading quality global airline alliance. Becoming part of one world is one of the most significant steps in S7’s history. It will enable us to offer our customers a truly global network served by partners who include some of the best known and most admired airlines in the world, while our frequent flyers will have more opportunities to earn and redeem mileage rewards and enjoy all their other benefits. It will also strengthen us financially, through revenues from passengers transferring to our network from our one world partners and the cost reduction opportunities the alliance offers.”
