Last weekend with a handful of time in hand I decided to head to BKK from Singapore. 4D3N and it was an awesome trip.
Whilst researching for flights I was initially going to fly MH (via KL) but found a CX direct flight to Bangkok.
CX712 - SIN - BKK A330
Given that the Skyview lounge is not somewhere I had like to spend my time, and no other Oneworld lounges are open for our flight (1400 dep), we arrived at the Airport an hour before schedule departure and breezed through custom. The flight was an old bird with the old regional config. I have never sampled the new regional aircraft before and thought I might be in luck. Crew was ok friendly but this is the first time I was not greeted by the CSM, and the stewardess servicing my section didn't seem to want to be there at all. It was a short flight anyway and I had already down a few beer pre departure, so, nah... didn't really care.
However, much to my surprise an air stewardess came out of no where and gave me this:
Thank you Sir for flying with us. That made my day.
2.5 hours later we found ourselves in Bangkok. CX has express cards for Bangkok much like the Express path card for Australia
We were lucky, otherwise we would be stuck in the queue for at least an hour or two. Around 10 mins later we were out waiting for our bags and another 5 mins later we found ourselves in our lovely taxi to Hilton Sumkhumvit.
