[quote=\"jtoh\"]Virgin Atlantic. I heard good things about it too so was rather disappointed. Upper Class some more.

different planes?

My flight from SG to HK ,HK to Chicago (biz class aka upper crust :laugh: ) was really good. Sat at the upper deck

Flight back from Chicago to HK was somewhat a different experience but I noticed it was an older plane as well... so maybe that happened for virgin?

Then I was v unlikely to get an older plane. Or maybe my standards too high having been spoilt by SQ.[/quote]yalah, jtoh jatoh from SQ standard

Is it possible to fly to Washington, stay few nights there for museums, white house, lincoln memorial, then fly to Orlando for theme parks ?


Anyone with experience with such a route to share ?

definitely possible. go to http://www.unitedairlines.com.sg and choose multi-city booking and make sure you put washington dc as one of the stops...and fare will not be much of a difference. from singapore to orlando, the transit point is either HK/Tokyo, and then either SFO, Chicago or Washington.

How is the United Airline's inflight service ?
I read that the inflight entertainment is practically zero. But how about the air steward(ess) service ? and others ?

But can you charge your iPad on board? What if battery runs out?
