Time to Go
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 heBaca lagi
A Quiet Ride
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ⛅ 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 wereBaca lagi
At the Gate

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 ofBaca lagi

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 soBaca lagi
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 ofBaca lagi
Onward to TSA
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ 🌙 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. IBaca lagi
Stewardesses

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 differentBaca lagi
Almost Our Turn
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 toBaca lagi
Red

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 aBaca lagi
At the Gate
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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’sBaca lagi
Where is Everyone?
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 soBaca lagi
Checking the Board

Our flight is still set to leave on time and Groot is ready to go! He loves to travel!
Ready to Go
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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
31 Oktober 2024, Amerika Syarikat ⋅ ☁️ 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 jetwayBaca lagi
Welcome Aboard!

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 otherBaca lagi
Our Flight Attendant

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 meBaca lagi
Ready for Takeoff

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 theBaca lagi
Our Flight Plan

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 theBaca lagi
Taking Off

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 peopleBaca lagi
