hello again and welcome to another trip report on singapore airlines ride home on a B777 300 ER ride home despite being my third time taking it after 5 months riding it to and from beijing also on a B777 300ER. singapore airlines sq892 and sq 893 deploys the a380 all year round however it was temporary downgraded  to a B777 300 ER for flights on april and may due to operation reasons nevertherless i do enjoy the B777 300ER product again for a 3 hours flight home from hongkong 


Routing


checkin at hkg


check in was done online  3 days prior to my return flight on the singapore airlines website and recieve a seats on row 50 at the front rear section of the B777 300 ER aircraft , on the day of departure we head to the airport 3 hours earlier by cityflyer bus service A10 outside the hotel  upon checkout of the hotel .The check in queue  is short since there 2 singapore airlines flights departing  at 2.25 pm with SQ883 a350 regional and 3.40pm our flight with SQ893  B777 300ER we  gotten physical boarding pass and drop my suitcase at the online check in lane before grabbing lunch at the tai hing restraunt at the arrival hall downstairs  we also returned the octopus card at the airport express train station near the ground transportation centre

Boarding begin around 2.45 pm  and was well organised starting from first class to zone 5 economy class and it uses a facial recognition system  and picked up earphones at the jetbridge and walk past business class seats,premium economy seats and the foward section of the economy seats

Inflight entertainment system (Krissworld)


The inflight entertainment system also known as krissworld has great sellection of TV ,music and movies and the inflight map is interactive can zoom in and out even my favourite inflight map is the voyager 3d map

Pushback was ontime and the safety video Began played with mandrian chinnese subtitles and the loud engine start of the GE 90 engines before taxing to runway 7R

Shortly after the safety video was played also found the advertisment of the skytrax awards 2023 as singapore airlines is the best airline in the year 2023  followed by the video on  how to connect to the krissworld wifi before Resuming  the TMNT 2007 movie while it taxi to runway 7R for takeoff

Shortly after takeoff seatbelts sign were switch off there free  wifi onboard most of the singapore airlines flight even for krissflyer member  however i did face difficulties connecting to the wifi onboard

dinner service


Dinner service was serve shortly after takeoff and the choice are roasted chicken thigh with thyme sauce and mashed potato or braised pork and pumpkin with sweet femented sauce and  rice. The menu can be avaliable on the digital content portal or before your flight on the singapore airlines website

As the meal trolley reach my row they ran out of the chicken thigh with thyme sauce option and given the  braised pork and pumpkin with sweet femented sauce  and rice  instead .The rice and the pork were delicious as well as the thai style shrimp salad  and the usual bread and butter

Did watch another movie Trolls band together 2023 during the meal service and shortly served Haagen-dazs vanilla ice cream for dessert and were flying over vietnam  when checking the inflight map

Few hours has passed and the flight comes to an end with a landing music  when  decending into changi airport  runway 2L  and a short taxi to Gate B5 of Changi airport terminal 3 



disembarking


we desembark at gate B5 of terminal 3 which is a short walk away to arrival Hall  and immigration was quick at the Eiacs e gates when  completing  the SGAC singapore arrival card with health Decleration no more than  3 days prior to my trip home it can be done via the ica website or the ica app. After immigration it took quite a while to pick up my suitcase before heading home via ride share (grab) and it was slightly overpriced than  normal taxi with usual airport surcharges and waited 20 mintues for a ride home overall it was the best ride on the B777 300 ER for a 3 hour ride back to singapore and fantastic cabin crew.
