Singapore Airlines Flight Report-SQ 528
Exams got over in march and i was on my way to Chennai for a relaxing holiday.This post covers the outbound journey from Singapore on Singapore Airlines.My entire Trip will be covered here in my blog in parts.
Date:30 April 2016
Flight Number: SQ 529
Operator: Singapore Airlines
Aircraft Type: Airbus A330-300
Registration: 9V-SSI
STD: 8:25 PM Local Time
ATD: 8:35 PM Local Time
STA: 10:00 PM Local Time
ATA: 9:47 PM Local Time
Duration: 3 Hours 42 Minutes
Check-In and Immigration as always was a breeze at Changi. Proceeded to gate D40 located at the far end of Terminal 2.After clearing Security,I got a first glimpse of the plane.This was a very new aircraft delivered to Singapore Airlines in September 2015.It was not even 1 year old.
Boarding commenced at 8:05 PM in the regular order of priority.Business Class passengers and Krisflyer Gold passengers boarded first followed by passengers with special needs and passengers travelling with young children.Rear rows of economy boarded first.
Boarding the plane through the funky themed aerobridges.
I was among the first to board the plane when boarding for economy was announced.I proceeded to my seat 62A located at the back of the plane.The interiors of the aircraft was very clean and the seat itself was very comfortable.Recline was good and the seat pitch and width were also fine.
The view from the window beside my seat.It was a Korean Air 777 from Seoul which had just landed.
We started to taxi from the gate to the runway at around 8:30 PM.
A silkair plane resting for the night.
Taxiing past another SQ plane.
A scoot aircraft parked at a remote stand.
We departed at 8:35 PM.
Seat Features: A large pillow and a blanket was placed at every seat for use by the passenger.Both were givenchy branded.Each seat also had a 10.6 inch personal entertainment system which was loaded up with krisworld. A wide selection of the latest movies,Tv shows and Songs were present.
A cup holder and spectacle receptacle was also present.Footrests have been removed on newer A333 aircraft.Not that i'm complaining since it providesmore legroom.
A coat hanger hook and USB ports were also present.When we reached cruising altitude the crew came around with a round of drinks on the beverage cart.Each passenger was also provided with a packet of murukku.
Soon it was time for dinner.The menu for today's flight was as follows:
An international selection of roast chicken with rice was also available.I had the fish curry which came along with a packet of pappadums.It was a very good meal.The curry was full of flavour while the beans provided a good side.The desert was good too.Finished my meal with a coke.
The crew then switched off the cabin lights for passengers to rest.Rest of the flight was uneventful and we landed in Chennai at 9:47 PM Local Time-13 mins ahead of schedule.
Note:Indian citizens now do not need to fill up an immigration form to clear customs in chennai(Info correct as of 30 april 2016).
Proceeded to collect my luggage and went home.
