We took Grab back to the airport, which was at half the price of a regular taxi. Flight departures info.
Unlike most other Indonesian airports, there was no need to show a confirmed ticket to enter the terminal building or check-in area. However, there is still a security check prior to entering the building. Check-in at the SilkAir desks was underway and the wait was short.
Boarding pass issued.
Very spacious check-in hall.
Grabbed dinner at one of the airport indonesian restaurants. The food was good!
And not to forget an A&W float before the flight as well!
Security was quick and we went into the domestic departure hall.
The immigration, international security and intl departure hall is further down the hallway. There were no queues at all for the sole international departure at the time.
The sole international lounge which all airlines use for their premium pax.
Departure gate was changed from Gate 1 to 2.
The aircraft arrived about 15min behind schedule.

9V-MGI
Economy Class
Flight Time: 1H16M
Boarding commenced.
Economy class cabin and seats
Boarding in progress. The purser and a female crew were in Business class, while 3 male and a single female crew were serving in economy. Quite a rare sight to see so many male crew on a SilkAir flight.
Seat pitch was decent for the short flight, but not much more than the LCCs.
Out the window
Inflight magazine and duty free. Starting this month, SilkAir has enhanced the wifi streaming IFE Silkair Studio's contents by increasing the entertainment selection. Movies were also more up-to-date compared to previously. Newspapers and blankets were also offered, while pillows were available in the overhead bins.
SilkAir also has its own verison of Hello Kitty! Wet towel were distributed.
Door closed and safety video played. The flight was fairly full.
Starting the taxi
Takeoff from Rwy23 slightly behind schedule.
Refreshment service started soon after.
After having so much to eat, I just pre-ordered a fruit platter for the flight. It came with a cup of water. Coffee/tea and other beverages were also offered.
The standard offering was just a tasteless and forgetable egg sandwich.
Lavatory was stocked with the necessary amenities only.
View of cabin as crew were clearing away the meal trays. Service was friendly and very efficient on this short-haul.
Purchased the SilkAir Hello Kitty from the inflight shopping. Was also handed a complimentary aircraft plushy, which is usually given out to young kids.
Descending and flying along the southern coast of Singapore.
Landing from the north onto Rwy20R, 15min behind schedule.
Taxi to and parked at Terminal 2.
