In this picture you see the garland-adorned Royston Pollard and his wife Eileen from Filton, Britsol, UK, proudly clutching a glass of Champagne and it's not even pub opening time!
The Pollards were greeted on 17 February with all this pomp and ceremony because Singapore Airlines was celebrating the fact that Mr Pollard was the SIA A380's one millionth passenger.
As part of the prize the pair were treated to an upgrade to Business Class, as well as a 3-night stay at Singapore's famous Raffles Hotel with limousine transfers, a spa experience, a 5-course set dinner, complete with champagne and a choice of either a safari or a tour of Singapore Zoo.
Some people have all the luck!
The fact bit:
- The Pollards were onboard the 10.55am Singapore-bound SQ317 flight from London Heathrow.
- Singapore Airlines A380 service to Sydney began on 25 October 2007.
- The airline currently flies the A380 daily between Singapore and Sydney, Singapore and Tokyo, and twice daily between Singapore and London.
- It will commence daily services between Singapore and Paris from 1 June. Since its launch, the A380 has clocked more than 2,400 commercial flights.
