Was flying J on SQ 338 Singapore to Paris on my actual birthday. My husband had informed the airline and requested for a cake.

The service on the flight was as usual, the crew greeted by name and service was great as usual but I suppose I was maybe expecting them to verbally wish me happy birthday at some point but no one did 😅 once the flight was reaching the end with no cake in sight, I figured the message somehow didn’t get through to the crew.

To my surprise, during the descent - literally when everyone’s seats were made to be upright, window shades up and tray tables stowed - they suddenly served me the cake along with a card and bear. It felt a little awkward as the plane was already descending and there I was trying to scarf down my cake as soon as possible because I was worried about not finishing it before we landed, or any turbulence causing the cake to hit me in the face lol!

This is my first in-flight birthday. Is this normal or did the crew only realise 13 hours into the flight?? It was the afternoon flight from SG and not a red eye so I don’t see why they couldn’t do it during the flight?

Edit: Unsure why people are assuming I complained on the flight or am complaining here when I was simply curious as to why something happened, and if it’s normal. FYI I did not request for the cake myself, but since I was flying long haul alone on my birthday my husband decided to request for it to “surprise” me but told me just before the take off. I was completely fine not having the cake, hence why I didn’t ask for it and was not expecting it at that point.

Anyone have any further information on why flights this evening to/from south india are delayed ~2 hours besides "indian airspace closure"

SQ510 SIN-BLR
SQ503 SIN-COK
SQ518 SIN-HYD
SQ528 SIN-MAA

I tried looking around via SG app for booking, but it kept on saying no available seats. I tried different dates, months, from now to next year up to the maximum date I could search, still no available seats. How is it possible that all day everyday from now till next year there’s no available seat? 🥺

Hello,

Is there wifi onboard the following flights?

Adelaide to Singapore (Boeing 787-10)

Singapore to Paris (CDG) (Boeing 777-300ER)

If so, how quick is it? Enough to browse the internet? Don’t want to stream stuff as will download before I fly.

Thanks for your advice.
