Good day all! Been a long time since my last report here. Actually now I have several reports waiting for being published, but I'm trying to be periodically correct in order to avoid skipping the reviews. Here we go!
I reached CGK's Terminal 2 at 8 am. Nice time for flying as the crowd was over and I didn't have to wake up at dawn. I always prefer T2 for flying as this is compact and efficient enough, compared to T3 - especially when you have to board through the first 5 gates or last 5 gates, be ready for your sprint session.
Lesson learned: never forget to opt for window seat everytime you check in at airport counter. Aisle is not really my favorite seat, but alright…
Boarding time! It was an A320-271N registered as 9V-TNF. Kindly call them as Steady Pom Pi Pi. Surprisingly, this is TR's youngest fleet to this day.
The seat looked basic, but actually it was pretty comfy - at least for 2 hour flight.
3-3 seat configuration with pretty high occupancy. Nothing much inside seat pocket but safety card & catalogue, typical LCC.
T2 as one of Lion Group's basis besides T1. They (JT and ID) are indeed the king of Indonesian domestic routes.
Too bad, the flight was delayed for an hour, but we had already been inside the cabin doing nothing. The reason was due to bad weather at SIN aka Changi Airport - guess it was raining. The thing I concern was my connecting flight which would be storytelled after this. So far nothing much happened when we were up there. Phew.
Landed safely at SIN. Cabin air started to be sterilized again as what they did before departure. One impression about Scoot and other Singaporean airlines: they put safety on the top of the top. It may impact on how they consistently ask you to put your baggage properly under the seat.
Thanks for sharing! TR essentially has the same Recaro ironing board seats in dense Y186 configuration as every other LCC, but I do like how TR has installed a better designed seat with the device holder and cupholder.
Pretty nice cabin for an LCC, the only thing missing is some sort of USB power for devices, but that's still nor very common on LCCs. Plus considering Scoot charge for power on 787s still, I guess they figure it's not worth installing power on new narrowbodies.
Thanks for sharing!
