On the morning of 19th June, for the first time, I went to Singapore Changi Airport alone to catch my flight on Singapore Airlines to Kansai International Airport. I checked in alone, went past the immigration alone, did everything alone! It was an experience though. It was in the new Terminal 3 too. However, I didn't have much time. I did not go in so early because I had already checked in through the internet. So I went past the immigration gates, walked around a bit, went to the toilet (isn't a must to visit the toilets of new airports and terminals? Lol!) and then went to the departure gates. I remember my backpack being stopped at the metal detector. They took out my pencil case and poured everything out, and the metal in it was my metal rulers... -_-; And then I had to put everything they poured out back into my pencil case...
So I boarded my flight, and it was pretty empty as expected. I took an aisle seat at the side and the other 2 seats were empty! I was pretty glad for I had a place to put my backpack! I was actually sleeping while I was sitting on the seat. However when I saw that the rest of the passengers, mostly Japanese had put up the arm rests and were sleeping on 3 seats as they were on a bed! Therefore, I decided that there was no use upkeeping any images anymore and I did what they did! The flight was pretty smooth and everything, but the only thing I was pretty unhappy about was the meals. We were offered a choice of Japanese and International selections. It was a pretty empty flight and I was sitting in front, so I thought I could have the meal of my choice. However, they came to me and said that they had no more Japanese meals! I wasn't really happy as an SIA flight is not very cheap (although I didn't pay for it). So I got through that and reached KIX around 4pm Japan time. As the plane was preparing for descent, I peered out of the window and saw that KIX was really built on a man-made island! I got off the plane and went to the toilet (again! Lol!). I realised that we had to take a skytrain to the main arrival hall! I was sort of impressed. However, things have only just started... |
