Immigration took about 5 minutes despite there a queue for the Eiacs and the passportless immigration clearance i did manage to complete the Singapore arrival card (SGAC) with health decleration no more than 3 days before my trip home which can be done on the ica website  or the my ica app and cleared thru  the passportless immigration clearance with facial recognition. After immigration it took quite a while to pick up my suitcase before heading home via ride share (grab)  although this is a good trip report to end my guilin and guangzhou trip and also enjoy the b787-10 and would try more regional product again soon see you again on another trip report on pheeplanes bye.

  • Hi Pheeplanes, thanks for this report.

    A really cool tourism bonus. China has always fascinated me as a country as it so big and I will never be able to travel to all of the cities if I tried. Guilin looks beautiful and the Sanqian Li Scenic Area.

    I agree with you, the SQ IFE is really good and offers plenty of selections. What did you think of Moana 2? I really liked it 😅.

    b737 800

    I cannot believe that these planes will be gone by October. So sad to see that the last SQ 737-800 (not the Max) will have its last flight to Kathamandu in October 😒.

    Seems like a solid flight overall, right in line from what you expect from SQ, thanks for sharing!

    • Thanks for reading jettoajet it is a best place to visit all the famous sceenery and tourist destination per province and guilin is a nice place to visit feel free to read my inbound trip report it has part 1 of my tourism bonus i hope you can visit china soon . sq is a good product when it comes to long haul and regional espeically the 787-10 and i do enjoy all the movies to keep me entertain for the whole flight and moana 2 is great with lots of nice songs .unfortunatly singapore airlines will be retiring their 737 800 soon but hope i have a chance to ride it before it retires overall its the best regional flight to and from guangzhou and one of my new favourite regional aircraft and excellent service that i expected since i flown sq about 7 times in my life from a330 in 2014,B777 200 in 2015 and 2016 ,a380 in 2015 and 2019 and the rest is feature in my flight report channel thanks again for reading.
