Get away with Singapore Airways


It’s pleasant flying with Singapore airlines on long haul. Even when you sit in tourist class you still feel just that bit more special than you do with other airlines, (especially the Scandinavian ones where the hostesses are so old that you have to help them and not the other way round)
You get decent legroom, good service, reasonable food served at reasonable times and just the 80 films to choose from . If there is a drawback it’s arriving at Singapore at 5.30 in the morning. At least there’s not problem in getting around

In the mornings young Chinese, Indian, Malay and the odd ex-pat all interact with each other in the most polite, yet distant of ways. Get to the evening and the place bustles. Gone are the drab, dreary faces and it’s on with the “Hi, I’m happy, healthy, young, free and don’t you wish you had my future?” Great to see. As of course is the hustle and bustle in and around Orchard Road, the Mecca of Gold card spending sprees.
