Onboard this A320.
Posted Image

Posted Image

Pitch is pretty tight.
Posted Image

Wing view.
Posted Image

Pushback was at 1439, then we began a short taxi to runway 32R, where a SilkAir A320 took off just before us, followed by a Tiger Airways A320 after us. All three A320s going to Singapore!

Posted Image

Takeoff by 1450, followed by a 35 minute down south. Bad weather caused some moderate turbulance (yipee!!), and also caused us to enter a holding pattern near Singapore.

Over a seemingly exotic island (Indonesia?)
Posted Image

Smooth landing despite the rain.
Posted Image

We turned off the runway, then taxied to Terminal 1. Aerobrige used here, which adds to the value of flying this LCC. Poor passengers of the Tiger A320 behind us has to use stairs and umbrellas :P.

End of this segment.

Now for the next segment, a business class ride home.


SIN-KUL
Malaysia Airlines MH608 (later 616)
Boieng B737-400 (9M-MQE)
1 hour

Arriving in Singapore's Changi Airport early (enough) to visit the lounge, little did I know that...
Posted Image

I was sort of panicky that the later flights were full and I had to stay the night or something terrible will happen, but the nice check-in staff rebooked me onto the MH616 service leaving an hour later. Phew! So now I have even more time to go planespotting and relaxing in the lounge.

Some pictures...

Posted Image

A BLUE boarding pass (Economy is typically green here) My passport behind it. :1st:

The lounge (Golden Lounge)

On my way to gate E24
Posted Image

Can you spot my flight? It's shown as a codeshare flight.
Posted Image

9M-MQE will fly me back home tonight. I even have a model of her at home!
Posted Image

This SQ A330 is heading to KUL too, scheduled to return with a full load (all those connecting pax)
Posted Image



Boarding was called a few minutes late, and was not at all organised. Economy pax rushed along with the Business pax.

View from 4A. It's nice to sit in front of the plane for once. 9V-SRM next to us off to Mumbai in a moment.

Warm towels being served by this nice steward.
Posted Image

Welcome drink! Choice of juices or alcoholic drinks.
Posted Image

Aerobridge being disconnected. For once I get to watch it live!

Philippine Airlines doesn't fly to Malaysia but they have a codeshare agreement with Malaysia Airlines for MNL-KUL

Singapore Airlines A330 takeoff to Dhaka I believe
Posted Image

It gets dark as we approach the runway
Posted Image

Lufthansa B747 taking off to Jakarta (See the FIDS pic above)
Posted Image

SilkAir A320 waiting for us to take off. Happened to me at the same time, same place, exactly one year ago.
Posted Image

Sunset over the Malaysian peninsular
Posted Image

DINNER TIME
Posted Image

Before takeoff we were given a choice of cream cheese or tuna sandwiches. The FA overlooked me and didn't ask. Got a mix of both then.
Posted Image

Malaysia Airlines beats Singapore Airlines in this aspect. You only get a cold wrapped sandwich on SQ, but here you get chocs and dessert too
