Scoot pilots didn't get the memo. Quite bumpy at times but no seatbelt sign for the duration of SYD-SIN.

Arrived at SIN on a Scoot flight from SYD on Mon 7 April, all pax and their hand luggage were security screened in the terminal upon deplaning. I wonder why?

You need 4 devices and 4 adapters.

Just a reminder to have your friend complete the online SG Arrival Card prior to arrival, if they want to enter Singapore. It is free so any website that is official looking but wants to charge a fee is a scam.

Because Australia is so un-racist, it is particularly jarring when you come across it (frequently) in Asia.

What a great buying opportunity.

Go round to T1 and have a swim in the outdoor pool (Aerotel transit hotel). Butterfly garden, cinema. Enter Singapore (as per above comments) and visit one of the staff canteens (hawker centres) T1 or T2. Visit the underground carnival and food court in basement T3. Or even go to East Coast and...

Mate, you need to try a bit of Zen, like that person on that other thread claims to be (but isn't).

SATS lounge in T3 is okay, but won't be cheap for six hours.

Yeah, we get it. You don't like VA.

The sole reason I chase SG/WP with VA is to have status benefits when flying SQ Y, which benefits are valuable (lounge access, priority boarding etc). And VA status is easier to obtain than SQ status. But not worth it anymore.

I sorta grudgingly admit that this makes sense. Why should a miserable $49 flight to Ballina earn more than 2 SCs, and it's a decent earn if you are crazy enough to fork out for a Flex fare.

The only thing they are really good at is PR - getting soft coverage in the media ("Qantas launches insane sale", "Qantas has slashed the cost of its flights...") and on sites like Executive Traveller.

The fact that you keep replying and disagreeing multiple times to multiple comments tells me you have not Zenned out at all.

Nah. A220 is Bombardier CS series. E190 is Embraer.

I wish I had...

Yes, disturbing is the word. And yes also lots of nice places to see in Nanjing.

Disagree. The types of people doing the wrong thing won't read media releases and airlines policies. Cabin crew are NOT escalating if they tell the pax on board that if they don't comply with the instruction they will be banned from future flights. That is literally de-escalating, and has the...

Yes, I've done both of those before, usually works but not always. Joining their video calls is quite good, you can chat with some interesting people!

For a day trip, I would also suggest Nanjing/Nanking. Not "nice" as such but a visit to the massacre museum provides an opportunity for reflection.
