An aviation enthusiast Sam Chui, who traveled on SQ380 - the inaugural Airbus 380 flight on October 26th, 2007, gives a full coverage about his A380 experience and writes:

What an honor to sit next to next to one of the world's most admired company, Singapore Airlines CEO! We chatted about 15 minutes and I noticed his wealth knowledge of the A/C types, routes and news about his company. I made a joke about my girlfriend would like a portrait of him as he is full of charms which makes him face red in front of his team........ I congratulated him about the First A380 charity flight project. We exchange some pleasantries before he "jumped ship" and left Sydney qucikly on SQ 222, a B747-400 flight. The chairman of SIA, Mr Stephen Lee was also present, with Mr Paul Tan VP of South West Pacific of SIA.
The A380 was further delayed until 5pm due to a Qantas catering truck is having problem. (Let's blame Qantas)
Boarding finally begins around 1720. Suites Class passenger has its own Jetbridge. There were 2 other jetbridge, one connects to the upper deck and one connected to Door 2 Left of main deck (Economy Class)


Anyone know what was the problem with the catering truck ? Which catering truck - Main Deck or Upper deck..?
