Time to Go
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Our long awaited trip to Thailand and Singapore has finally started! We’re standing outside waiting for our Uber driver to arrive so we could go to the airport.
On the Way
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
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 heもっと詳しく
A Quiet Ride
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 66 °F
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.
Arrived at JFK
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
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 wereもっと詳しく
At the Gate
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ⛅ 68 °F
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 ofもっと詳しく
In the Queue

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 soもっと詳しく
Self Check In

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 ofもっと詳しく
Onward to TSA
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 68 °F
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.
TSA Check Point
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 68 °F
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?
Long Lines
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ 🌙 68 °F
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. Iもっと詳しく
Stewardesses
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
While waiting on the TSA line, I saw this group of stewardesses going through the security area. I didn’t know that they were subjected to screening procedures also. Their uniforms look so differentもっと詳しく
Almost Our Turn
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Photography isn’t allowed in the TSA area so this was the closest I could go and still get some pictures. Surprisingly, everything went very quickly and smoothly one it was our turn. I still had toもっと詳しく
Red
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
On the way to our gate, we passed the usual assortment of overpriced restaurants and shops. I usually ignore these places but this figure of the red M&M really caught my eye. The pilot costume is aもっと詳しく
At the Gate
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
We’re seated at the gate and waiting for our flight to board. I don’t know why, but it seems that no matter what flight we take, or what airline we fly, our gate is always the one that’sもっと詳しく
Where is Everyone?
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Why is the terminal so empty? It’s not just our gate but every gate I can see looks empty. I know it’s a holiday, which may have something to do with it, but it’s very surprising to see it soもっと詳しく
Checking the Board
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Our flight is still set to leave on time and Groot is ready to go! He loves to travel!
Ready to Go
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
With one last visit to the restroom, we’re all ready to get on the plane. Right now, we’re just waiting for the announcement that boarding will begin. It shouldn’t be much longer.
Singapore Airlines
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
This is the plane that will be taking us on our flight to Singapore. That’s just the first, and longest, leg of our trip though. From there, we’ll catch a connecting flight to Bangkok.
Queuing Up
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
The terminal was nearly empty a few minutes ago but once the announcement was made about boarding, the place filled up so quickly. Where were all these passengers hiding?
On the Jetway
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Our turn to board the plane came at last and we’re proceeding down an elaborate jetway with two levels. I’ve never seen one so big! Is this the new style of boarding the planes or is this jetwayもっと詳しく
Welcome Aboard!
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
We’re finally able to board the plane but, unfortunately, we’re not seated together. We each have an aisle seat and I’m seated right behind Kathy. I would have liked us seated next to each otherもっと詳しく
Our Flight Attendant
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
The stewardess on our flight is dressed in what looks like the traditional clothing of Singapore. I really like small touches like this because it really gives me the sense of Singapore and makes meもっと詳しく
Ready for Takeoff
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 68 °F
Why does the flight crew get seatbelts with shoulder straps while the passengers only get a waist belt? It doesn’t look very comfortable but, still, they are getting a lot more protection than theもっと詳しく
Our Flight Plan
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
Here’s a look at what our flight path will look like. I really like this new technology. I wish all airlines had something like this. All the other carriers just show where we are on a map and theもっと詳しく
Taking Off
2024年10月31日, アメリカ ⋅ ☁️ 66 °F
Being seated in the aisle seat in the middle section of the plane, this is the best shot I could get of our taking off. I had to aim the camera at the window seat closest to me and zoom in. The peopleもっと詳しく
