This plane uses an engine manufactured by Rolls-Royce and is said to be quieter than regular planes. Since it is a daytime flight, we will be able to see some of the beautiful scenery of the Maldives. Take off. What we can see in the background is the prison island. A resort called Kurumba Maldives.

We can see various lagoons and islands. The scenery from a seaplane is beautiful, but the scenery from an airplane is also beautiful enough. There are many resorts in the Maldives, and it is interesting that each resort has a different appearance. A little while after takeoff,

From here, recline the seat completely. There is plenty of legroom and we can fully stretch our legs. Although there are no doors on the seats, privacy is maintained.

Sleep for a few hours. Since it was a daytime flight, there was no mattress on the bed. It’s a 3 hour and 50 minute flight, so it flies by quickly. We departed from Male at 12:55 and arrived in Singapore at 20:45.

There is a 3 hour time difference between the Maldives and Singapore. It’s already night in Singapore. The lighting inside the plane is a calming color. The sky is shining red. Is it thunder? There are many tanker ships (cargo ships) parked near the airport. The night view is beautiful. The window seat is nice.

Landing. Successful landing. It was a short but comfortable flight. Let’s take a look at the plane one last time. The connecting time is 3 hours and 10 minutes. Singapore’s Changi Airport is world-class and has extensive facilities, so we can easily kill time in about 3 hours.

If you wish to enter the country, you will go through the immigration formalities there. I’m going to the lounge. Changi Airport has four terminals, and this is Terminal 3.

This is the in-flight meal menu for the opposite route. Drinks are exactly the same as on the A350. Monitor. It’s similar to the A350 (Long Haul). The flight map software is the same as the A350 (Long Haul). A 6 hour 35 minute night flight from Singapore to Tokyo.

The distance is 5598km (3478 miles). We can only sleep for 4 hours at most, and we are inevitably sleep deprived. It’s in the restroom. The color of the toilet bowl is a little more fashionable than the A350. There is only one table. Take a look at the amenities. Bags and sanitary napkins.

There are other amenities on this shelf. Shaving creams, razors, toothbrushes. Same as on the A350. The same goes for toiletries and perfumes. This time the towel wasn’t as hot as before. Watch the in-flight safety video. Since this is a Japanese route, the in-flight safety video has Japanese and English subtitles.

If we ask the attendant, they will make the bed. Lumbar support. Video ends. The A380 business class seats have large back shells that provide privacy. The seats are near the main wings of the plane. Announcements are made in Japanese on Japanese routes.

This plane also uses Rolls-Royce engines and is said to be quieter than normal. Take off. It was late at night, so the lighting inside the plane was dim. The seatbelt sign has disappeared. Wi-Fi connection. In-flight Wi-Fi is not available unless we fly above a certain altitude.

After a while, try connecting to Wi-Fi again. The great thing about this flight is that it has free Wi-Fi even in business class. Make the seat completely flat. It’s easy because we can make it completely flat with just one switch. Making the bed was easy, so I did it myself.

The length of the bed is 78 inches (198 cm), giving us plenty of room to stretch out our legs. Nuts and almonds have arrived. We can get an amenity kit by asking the attendant. This is an amenity kit from a British fragrance maker called Penhaligon’s.

Facial mist, lip balm, hand lotion. Lipstick is easy to use. We can choose our in-flight meal after takeoff or before arrival. I did it before arriving. There are 4 types of continental breakfast bread. Cutleries are cold. Fruits. Although I had a continental breakfast, it was a bit unsatisfactory.

I ordered an additional cheese omelet. Contains a little cheese. I think Japanese food is more luxurious on Japanese routes. If you like Japanese food, we recommend Japanese food. 1 hour and 22 minutes left until arrival. Already at sea in Japan. We just saw the sunrise. It flies almost in a straight line.

The monitor screens were almost the same, but there were some slight differences. There is a library and games section. Duty-free in-flight magazine. Stuffed animal and doll. Airplane model. Stuffed mouse. A380 business class was comfortable. The seats are spacious and there is plenty of storage space, making it easy to use.

The clouds are beautiful. I’ve flown the A380 suites, but to be honest, business class is more than enough. Videos of first class and suites have been uploaded previously. The 6 hour and 35 minute flight goes by in a blink of an eye.

I got about 3 hours of sleep, but it would take a 10+ hour flight to get enough sleep. I feel refreshed since I arrived in the morning. Both the A350 (Long Haul) and A380 were comfortable.

Personally, I liked the cabin of the A380, which has seats with large back shells, which felt more luxurious. The middle two seats of the A380 business class can be converted into a double bed, so it might be a good idea if you are traveling with two people. Finally, we see the A380 plane.

Thank you for your viewing.
