[benhoffman]

Hi Guys,

I was lucky enough today to get a guided tour of Singapore Airlines A380 today, I have put up my review/post with afew photos of the event.

The Business Travel Guru gets close and personal with Singapore Airlines Airbus A380

I will upload a few more photos tonight in the phots section of my website.

Regards

If anyone is interested, I have posted pics videos and articles of my experience aboard the A380 first flight from SIN - SYD. Enjoy.

The A380 looks great but I was flummoxed by this:

One note if you want to make use of the built-in workstation I was told you needed to bring your own keyboard; hopefully SIA will see the wisdom of providing keyboards in the future.

That has to be one of the most ridiculous things - how many people carry keyboards in their carryon that dont have laptops?

Makes me all the more anxious to see the QF version

I guess you can cart one of these around with you: Amazon.com: Xtreme Flexible USB Roll-Up Mini Keyboard: Electronics

There's a fellow luddite (work associate) who travels plenty and hates the abbreviated laptop keyboards. He carries one of these around in his laptop case to plug into his laptop when on the road.

That's my point - if you are carrying around a keyboard you are likely to be carrying around a laptop and thus dont need to use SQ's business tools...

And re the flexible keyboard - I have been tempted by those for a while. Just sure that it would be any better than my laptop keyboard...
