Aussie Flyer

Today left Melbourne bound for Bangkok, via Singapore. Flight was chock-a-block in economy, and check in was very busy... I used the internet check in queue which was shorter than the business/first class queues. I was hoping for that elusive upgrade,  but alas, it was not going to happen today. Collected my boarding passes for 60H and 60K (preselected online), the 2nd last row, with a two-some on the right hand side. Nice when travelling as a pair in the 777. There is always that tiny tiny hope when your checking in for an economy flight that you will be upgraded, but with those hopes dashed, I thought I will try to make the most of it and have some sparkling wine and a bacon and egg muffin, and some nice cakes,  in the Air New Zealand lounge. I was welcomed into the ANZ lounge by the staff, no mention made that I SHOULD be in the Singapore lounge, I was told I was welcome in either, along with my guest. What a wise move, as the ANZ flight to Auckland was ...

Took a flight recently on Singapore SQ238 from Melbourne to Singapore, here is a video I took of this flight as a passenger. It shows the inflight meal, and views out the window during departure, en route over Australia and landing in Singapore. This flight was back in July 2009, and is just a starting point to the blog which will follow my travels from now onwards!
