My Singapore Airlines 777-300ER First Class flight from Jakarta to Singapore was short but sweet, with excellent service and the added bonus of having the entire cabin to myself.
After checking in, a porter was assigned to carry my bags. I thought this was a very nice touch, but unfortunately the porter only walked with me as far as the security entrance. If Singapore really wanted to offer a premium ground product in Jakarta, its greeters/escorts should accompany first class passengers through security and passport control to the lounge, then onto the plane. That’s something carriers like Air France and Lufthansa/SWISS (at some stations) do very well.
At the end of the jet bridge, I was welcomed by the purser who was waiting at the door.
A great solo travel tip spotted this week on Live and Let's Fly.
