Non carb meals on Singapore Airlines

[Dancing]

I love this airline anyway and now I just think they are beyond measure.

Non-Carbohydrate Meal: No starch and carbohydrates in any form

woo hoo I am so pleased to have learned this. I fly on Friday and was just thinking about making my shake/soup up on the flight (24 hours!) and did a little search on their website and found they do nil carb (in any form) meals!!!! hurrah! I have just informed them I want that option.

I am sooooo looking forward to my flights!

I am flying to Auckland via Singapore

[sumayyah]

no fair, got room for one in ur suitcase?
only 24 hours?
i checked one recently, it was with air NZ and it would take me 32 hours to get to aukland
do you come from there origanally?

[Dancing]

yes - I've done the 32 hour trip before. I only have 50min changeover in Singapore (hope the flight isn't delayed!!!) so that is why it is a little quicker.

I am from there originally but it is a long time since I lived there and quite awhile since I visited. (I'm originally from the Far North but went to University in Auckland). I'm going to spend most of my time in the Nelson region on this trip. I'm told that last week it was 30degrees there. The water is an amazing turquoise blue (quite med-like). Ooohhh I can't wait

[Dancing]

oh and actually, I think I can almost fit someone in my bag ..... now I don't have such huge clothes taking up all the space !!!!!

[sumayyah]

have you ever been to the mill bay area?
think its in mongonoui

[sumayyah]

hmm even room for a biggun?
well hope it is sunny for you, i keep being told its raining, lol

[Dancing]

no, not been there. Do you have friends/family there?

Yes, but Nelson has the most sunshine hours in the country ... so fingers crossed it doesn't rain while I'm there

[sumayyah]

erm its a man there, invited me and my wee girl to live with him but really not sure

[Dancing]

oooh wow. Pity I won't be going past there as I could have checked him out. Have you met him or is it an online thing?

[sumayyah]

online thing, known him 7 years, only prob is hes got a child older than me

[Dancing]

only a problem if you think it is one. And 7 years is a long time to have known him. Really wish i could check him out for you now! Suggest he has a holiday in Nelson over Christmas (ha ha).
