AFTER COMPLETING a short leg from Siem Reap to Singapore, I was prepared for my 16-hour flight to Los Angeles. As a loyal Oneworld customer, I felt a bit disloyal being eager to finally experience the renowned service and cuisine that Singapore Airlines Business Class is known for.
This trip would be operated on the Airbus A350-900 Ultra Long Range, the same airplane used on the longest flight in the world: Singapore to New York-JFK. And I was hopeful that forfeiting my highly cherished Oneworld miles and corresponding status boost would be worth it.
CHECK-IN
During my 4.5-hour layover in Singapore, I headed to the SilverKris Lounge. Upon arrival, I was warmly welcomed, checked in, and directed to the Business Class section. The lounge featured a long bar, a variety of comfortable seating options, and large displays of hot food. I started with a madeto-order bowl of steaming hot and delicious char kway teow from the soup station. An hour later, I enjoyed a plate of dim sum and beef curry with rice.

The Censoring of Social Media? - Why legislatures continually try to regulate freedom of expression, and what the courts are doing about it
There seems to be bipartisan agreement that everything from teen suicide rates to poor mental health and more is due to social media. The obvious solution, they believe, is to impose government oversight on how such services can be provided. Congress is considering sweeping social media legislation and a number of states have already enacted such laws.
