During the transit in KL, I proceeded to Plaza Premium Lounge again to waste the hours away. This time round, the lounge was not that crowded.
Bar counter where both hot and alcoholic drinks are prepared. Desserts are available too!
Pastries to choose from.
For my light dinner, I had a freshly prepared fish-cake noodles.
Along with items from the hot buffet.
Desserts with teh tarik to end! I had 2 rounds of desserts!
Some plane-spotting from the lounge. KLM B772ER departing for Jakarta. Lionair B739ER pushing back soon as well, most probably also heading to Jakarta?
Sri Lankan A343 taxiing for departure as well.
SQ, MI and MH at KLIA.
Just completed one of the shortest (or probably the shortest) scheduled A330 flight in the world.
Silkair A320 heading back to Changi.
Ethiopian B763 arriving from BKK.
After a couple of hours of lounging, I left the lounge, hopped onto the Skytrain and headed over to the Main Terminal for the final flight home.
SQ, MH and JL seen form the Airtrain.
MH's big bird in the distance.
Mostly MHs at the Main Terminal.
The little bird that would be flying be back, 9M-MXD.
Gatehold room was rather crowded. Looked like a full flight again!

Economy Class
Plane being prepared for the flight.
Malindo taxiing pass.
Boarding started slightly late. Passed the Business Class cabin.
And into economy to my seat at 17A again. The legroom on the BSI aircraft seemed slightly less than the leased ones.
Welcome aboard! The only female stewardesses seen on this flight were on-screen as the flight had an all-male cabin crew!
At the gate with another plane sharing the other arm of the aerobridge.
Boarding in progress.
Boarding completed and we pushed back with engine startup. Leading crew made the welcome announcement.
Safety video playing during taxi.
Taxied along Rwy32R.
Holding for takeoff.
Pilot announcement prior to takeoff.
Takeoff from Rwy32R.
Climbing to our low cruising altitude.
Announcement after takeoff.
Flight map and inflight entertainment were switched on for this short flight. However you would need your own headphones if you needed sound. I stuck to the flightmap for this very short flight.
Again, peanuts and juices were served. I had an orange juice.
A very short flight indeed! We were nearly there barely 10-15min after departure!
However, after nuts and juices were served, the crew came down again, offering these small boxes to passengers!
The box contained a couple of dates. Guess this was a Hari Raya festive treat!
We were nearing Changi, but the pilot came on and announced that due to congestion, we would have to slow down our approach. Thus we flew leisurely at 500km/h along the southern part of Singapore, offering some nice views as well! But this lengthened our flight time to 45min.
Passing Jurong Island.
CBD area.
Overflying Batam.
Our flight route. We flew up north again and approach from the north.
Final approach over Tekong's military training camp.
Landing on Changi's Rwy20C.
Taxi to the gate and passing KE B773.
Lots of Tigers and a single SQ.
Parked at gate F40.
Disembarking.
