Our driver arrived exactly on time but, strangely, he just sat looking forward and never interacted with us at all. We said hello to him when we got in the car and greeted him a Happy Halloween but heRead more

We’re nearly at the airport and our driver has yet to acknowledge us. This has gone beyond weird and, now, it’s just plain rude. This driver certainly isn’t going to be getting a tip from us.

When our cab got to JFK airport, we weren’t even dropped off at the Singapore Airlines section. Our driver just pulled into the first open parking space he saw and stopped. We told him that we wereRead more

It took some walking, but we made our way to the Singapore Airlines counter. There was a bit of a line, but that’s okay because we allowed extra time and got here early. I like how they did a bit ofRead more

Kathy might be feeling a bit chilly now but I think she’ll be taking off her sweatshirt and jacket very soon. Thailand and Singapore are both very hot and humid. I don’t do well in the heat soRead more

While we didn’t use them this time, I liked how the self check in kiosks were decorated for Halloween. Most of the Singapore Airlines employees were dressed up in costumes and had buckets full ofRead more

Now that our bags have been checked in, and we have our boarding passes, we’re ready to head over to TSA for security screening. This is the part that I always dread the most while traveling.

As I expected, the lines here are very long and it seems like all the workers here are nasty and have surly attitudes. Why won’t they even try to make this process a bit more pleasant for travelers?

The lines at the TSA checkpoint were very long, as I had expected, but they were moving fairly quickly. I still didn’t like waiting here though. This is one of the biggest drawbacks of air travel. IRead more
