We checked out around 9.30 and hopped into the Amankila car for the 90 minute ride back to the airport. The staff thanked us for staying and saw us off.
Approaching the airport.
We pulled up to the curb where another Amankila rep was waiting. He grabbed our bags and escorted us inside to security. He wished us goodbye and we went through.
Security before check-in.
We had a one minute wait before we were helped. Checked our bags to Singapore, received our boarding passes, lounge invitation and were directed to go to security … again …
The lounge was busy and nothing spectacular. We were only there for 30 minutes before getting bored and deciding to go walk around the terminal.
Good thing we came through earlier as security and immigration were backed up now.
Walked to our gate where our bird was being prepped.
Meanwhile, another SQ bird just left.
Gate lice.
Boarding was called and we made our way through.
Same seats we had when coming to Bali. The J cabin was 3/4 full today.
Champagne to start.
I wont attach the entire menu - just the main course selection.
Pushback.
Both of us selected the lamb curry. Very tasty.
The flight was smooth and nothing out of the ordinary. Landed on time and taxi-ed to the farthest gate at Terminal 2.
The famous landing view.
Um, I guess AC comes here for maintenance. I do know they are starting flights to SQ this summer with the 787.
EK bound for home.
Docking next to her sister ship.
When we walked out of the tube and into the main area, we did not see the signs for immigration and judging by the looks of other passengers coming out, they were wondering the same thing. Asked a security guard and he pointed us in the right direction. Immigration was quick and our bags came out 10 minutes later.
You sure Air Canada will start service to Singapore??? When? They haven;t announce it, more info plz?
Recent announcement was VYR to MEL using 787 aircraft. Maybe the new Cathay partnership has a codeshare to Singapore.
