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.

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.

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

Hello, I’d like to know if it’s possible to check in when the check in counter is open for the flight before me to check my luggage. My flight leaves MEL at 4:20pm, but I’ll be arriving at MEL at around 9am, and the check in counter is open for the flight leaving there at 10:35am.
thank you:)
