The A380 Superjumbo First class gifts

Few days ago I found in my email box photos of goodies and amenities given away by Singapore Airlines to first class passengers on the first Airbus A380 flights. Well it is not first class, it is class beyond first - the Singapore Airlines Suites. The flight was from Sydney to Singapore, the only route the Superjumbo is serving at the time of the writing.

I was not there on that flight and there was no description attached with the photos. I can only guess that there were 2 kinds of freebies. One a gift set to take away, the other a collection of stuff to be used on the flight first and then taken away.

From what I can see on the picture and from the bits and pieces I found at different aviation forums the goodies bag was very impressive:

- a Mandarina Duck briefcase with a personalized A380 inaugural flight luggage tag
- an A380 model
- a pen set from Rolls Royce ( I assume the engine supplier)
- a Mont Blanc leather luggage tag
- a SQ desk calendar
- a booklet on the Airbus A380 Superjumbo
- a luggage lock
- a clear plastic cosmetic pouch (compliant with the safety regulations)

The travelers were also presented with complimentary noise canceling BOSE headsets - a very fancy gift by itself. If somebody gives me only that, I would be more than happy.

There is also what looks like Salvatore Feragamo cosmetic set - even if you do not use it all, this would make for a great present for somebody.

The rest of the items are likely special edition in-flight magazines and “First To Fly A380″ certificates - definitely great souvenirs whether you are an aviation freak or not.

One has to give it to Singapore Airlines, they know how to impress … Well, it comes at a price. The ticket price for return ticket from Singapore to Sydney, one leg on B-747 Jumbo in First class, the other leg on A380 Superjumbo in Suites costs about USD7,200.
