Day 16: Thu 29 Sep - Singapore to Brisbane, 10h35m
We landed about five minutes early, and after a mid-length walk (good to stretch the legs), I was in the Singapore QC, that although has undergone a few renos over the years, essentially looks the same as it always has, maybe a bit bigger. Although the layover at Singapore was three hours, you have to be at your departure gate no less than 45 minutes prior to departure. I normally have a shower when at Singapore, however, elected to go without this time and just relax. Upon checking-in to the QC, I was informed it was about a seven minute walk to Gate C15 and I should leave the lounge at 7:45pm. There are no boarding announcements in this lounge so it is up to you to make your own way there. As soon as I saw the Gate was open I headed off.
After passing through the scanner again, me and my bags, complete with bag of fluids out, it was then a 20 minute wait for all passengers to pass through security and for the non-ambulant passengers to board. Finally on board, seat 6K on the A330-200, certainly not the best seat in Business Class, but still Business Class. This was also an aisle and window seat, however, the console was on the window side, leaving you more exposed to aisle traffic. However, because there is only two rows of seats in this Business Class section, there was not too much traffic during the 7h35m flight.
Although I had slept on the previous flight, I was still pretty knackered, so only managed one movie whilst waiting for and eating my very underwhelming chicken schnitzel sandwich and delicious chocolate ice cream before crashing for about three hours. The movie was: Good luck to you, Leo Grande.
I was then wide awake and couldn't find any movie I wanted to watch, so chose to watch the TV Series: NCIS Hawaii, but only got through 4.5 episodes before we landed.
