The journey over

So we've arrived safe and sound in Singapore, albeit an hour late due to departing late.

We had seats up the front of the aircraft with extra legroom, which was nice. The plane was almost full, with only a few spare seats. Eight hours is a long time without entertainment, but we read and napped. The meals were tasty (SGD10) and the flight smooth until we entered the more turbulent air of the wet tropics.

I saw lots of islands in the midst of the beautiful blue of the Timor Sea and even a small, solitary volcano, quietly expelling ash into the atmosphere.

I'm not sure that I'm a fan of Scoot. The seats were uncomfortable and the service a little less than expected, even for a cheap airline. Air Asia seem to have it all down to a fine art, but perhaps Scoot is still settling in to their trade.
