Introduction

This report is of a flight in Sept 2012. This trip was planned holiday with friends. We decided to cover Thailand and Singapore as some of my friends hadn't.

As ticket and seats were booked by friends, I didn't know the details before the flight.

Check-in

Check-in for this flight was done online, On the day flight, we arrived early by taxi. As this being a holiday we were travelling light.

Baggage was underweight. Our passport was checked and boarding pass printed till Singapore.

Boarding

We didn't get much time in the terminal as boarding had commenced by the time we had completed security. We rushed to gate area.



Preparing for departure



Seating

Seating for the economy was 3-4-3. Seats with more spacing are yellow coloured, Blue seats had narrow space.

I wasn't happy with the seats as it felt tight.
