One million customers on Singapore's A380s

Singapore Airlines, the first carrier to put the Airbus A380 into service, is getting ready to welcome the one millionth passenger onto its super jumbos. That's a serious number and shows that on some routes the aircraft is becoming a familiar sight.

And what a reception that passenger will get - the lucky punter will be greeted with the news at check-in and what prize they've won, which includes a three-night stay at a luxury hotel at their destination, a limo ride to the hotel, top-class restaurants and other goodies, says SIA.

Travellers in all three classes on the same flight be be served with champagne and special SIA giveaways.

SIA was the winner in the operations category of the 2008 Airline Achievement Awards for its introduction into service of the A380.
