Back to the Lion City

We're setting off on a short adventure to Singapore, one of our favourite cities. 

In July, Scoot (Singapore Airlines low cost carrier) offered a one-day only sale. I bought our tickets for AUD400, including seats, bags and meals. It's much cheaper to buy extra baggage online prior to travel than at the check-in counter. At the Gold Coast, it would have been AUD21 per extra kilo! 

At check-in this morning there were signs up advertising upgrades to Scoot Biz (business class) for AUD139 (plus a fee of AUD40!). I hadn't seen that before. That is much cheaper than buying Biz at the booking stage. 

We departed a little late due to the late arrival of the inbound aircraft. This is the same plane as the last time we flew Scoot, a B772 named Barry. 

Beaut day for flying and a half-full load, meant that we could stretch out and relax. No frills, but tasty meals and movies on iTunes for entertainment.


It is like a homecoming to be back amidst the soaringly majestic storm clouds and bleached blue sky, overflying the hundreds of enormous ships awaiting their turn at Singapore's busy docks.
