Nick C 0 Report post Posted July 11, 2008 (edited) Hehe...sorry. SIA A380 is parked at T3? QF? Are all Changi gates can accommodate A380? All of SQ's 5 A380s operate out of Terminal 3. Gates with 3rd aerobridge Terminal 1 - C23, C25, C26, D46 & D49. Terminal 2 - E5, E8, E11, F31, F42 & F60. Terminal 3 - A2, A4, A5, A10, B2, B4, B5 & B7 However, if all the gates are full there are other gates which can accommodate the A380.

Not sure about the rest but my parents are booked on EK3804 flight from JFK to DXB(second EK A380 flight out of JFK). I'm flying on July 29th, could catch the maiden flight but EK asked me to add another 6000MYR for economy seat Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Seth K 3 Report post Posted July 12, 2008 (edited) Originally I bought one way ticket to JFK from KUL at price MYR4000++, then EKm'sia at Shang ri La hotel told me that the new ticket price(from July 29th change to August 1st for maiden flight) is MYR10000+++, ONE WAY. That should include the re booking fees etc. Ask him why so expensive, he told me the flight full with VIP...... Edited July 12, 2008 by Seth K Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, but c'mon.... the whole flight can't be full with VIP?!. It's economy class, for 10,000MYR I rather fly biz class with MH. All flights are confirmed, stick to the original plan(for now), KUL-DXB-JFK 77W <_ . what really sad is that i their gold card member was hoping better deal for maiden flight src="%7B___base_url___%7D/uploads/emoticons/default_rolleyes.gif" alt=":rolleyes:"> Well may be sum other time, going to Australia via DXB this winter, still can catch their A380....but I heard there's nth new with their seats.
