There were 3 planes waiting behind us for take off on runway 20C, in the south-westerly direction. After take off, we had a good view of Tanah Merah Country Club, Laguna Golf Club, east coast beach, eastern anchorage and the plane enters Indonesian airspace over Batam island.

  • Infact , they are the largest fleet of 777 in the world , with 77 of them currently.

  • Yes, I think so too, pilot was like doing some unusual turns along the way....

  • When Singapore Airlines first got their A340-500s, they wanted to bring their A340-500s for a short hop. It's like a proving (i.e. testing) flight, to prepare for the super long non-stop ones to New Jersey and Los Angeles

  • why they wanna use such a big plane for such a short destiny? I use small plane for long destiny? isnt tht strange?

  • It looked like there was speed bumps on the runway lol

  • All Other short flight is 777-200/200er....Other flight such as 5-6 hours long is a 777-300/300er other flight such as those with stopover is mostly 777-300er and 747-400....and a340-500 is nw full biz class flight to new york...nonstop and a380 is nw serving 4 places....sydney,london,toyko and beijing.

  • Thats cuz its a 500. The -500 & -600 series are very powerful aircraft.

  • Finally, a "fast" takeoff on an A340. I didn't think they had it in them.

  • I think it is better than 772 but not 773
