Dinner packaging

Having ordered special meal during booking, got served first. Many passengers skipped the meal as they had already slept by the time meal service started.



Special Hindu Non-Vegetarian Meal [HNML]

Fish curry, veggies and rice with dessert. Food was well made.



Dark cabin

After the meal, lights were dimmed for resting. Like many others, I had two seats to stretch. Slept for the rest of the flight and woke closer to Mumbai. I didn't photo the inflight magazine as it was same as the Sydney - Singapore flight. I don't remember if menu was provided as I was served pre-ordered meal.

Immigration

Immigration was quick with very few passengers as this flight arrives after the mid-night to early morning rush. Baggage took sometime to arrive as the Terminal was inaugurated a month earlier.
