I went on one of my usual hikes up Singapore's tallest peak - all 163 meters of it. This time round, I stuck with the service road instead of taking the side trails because I figured the trails would be muddy or slippery with the recent heavy rain.Meer informatie

My sister and mother accompanied me to the airport. We wandered around Jewel viewing the waterfall and indoor garden for a while, and then I made my way to Terminal 2 for my flight. I made a quick pitstop at the lounge for a small bowl of laksa before heading to the gate. I declined the inflight snack on this short flight.Meer informatie

Another great flight with Malaysia Airlines. My only complaint was that they woke us up for breakfast 2.5 hours before arrival, which is way too early. I even managed another 1.5 hours sleep after eating.

Malaysia Airlines' Business Class hard product isn't industry leading, but it had the basics right. I cannot wait to experience them again after they retrofit their widebodies with new seats.Meer informatie

My plan for this layover was to visit the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences and Sora No Yu onsen, both located just southeast of the airport. However, my flight arrived early, and I unexpectedly cleared immigration in no time, which left me in the arrivals hall with more than two hours to spare before the 10am opening time for both the museum and the onsen.

I didn't want to wait in the arrivals hall for two hours, so I decided to hop onto the train to Narita - which is west of the airport - in the hope that the sweet potato street food stalls may be open. I snacked at one of them on my earlier layover and I was hooked.

When I reached the omotesando in Narita, it was clear that the sweet potato stalls were not open. But, the sky was a brilliant blue and so I decided to revisit the temple to take some photos. They turned out very nicely.

After about an hour, I headed back to the station to take the 9.40am bus to the aeronautical museum.Meer informatie

I took the 9.40am bus from the JR train station bound for Narita Airport. The bus took a scenic drive along the western perimeter of the airport before depositing me at the museum just after their opening time.

The museum turned out to be a fun little detour and a great way to spend two hours or so. The first exhibition hall displayed a B747 classic wingtip, a cross section of a B747 (the last time I saw something like this was at the Bangkok Aircraft Graveyard!), and a display on how a jet engine works. The second floor was dedicated to Narita Airport. The fourth floor featured a restaurant with runway views, and the top floor was set up to resemble a control tower, also with a view of the airport. There, I saw 9M-MAC, which had transported me to Narita as MH88, takeoff on its return journey to Kuala Lumpur as MH89.

Outside the museum building is a small field with a number of aircraft and helicopters on display.Meer informatie

While I was at the viewing platform of the Museum of Aeronautical Sciences, a white stupa on the next lot caught my eye. I popped in there while waiting for the bus to take me to the onsen. When I got to the stupa, my suspicions were confirmed: this stupa is built in the Sri Lankan style. I learned that it is called the Narita Peace Pagoda.Meer informatie

I used miles to book this flight. Unfortunately, I could not check in online.

I returned to Narita Airport after a relaxing couple of hours at Sora No Yu onsen. Arriving at the check in counters, I saw a very long queue for check in. It looked as if no one could check in online. Thankfully, the Business Class counter did not have much of a queue and I got processed relatively quickly. As it turned out, I had to fill in a form by hand. If this was the reason why online check in was not allowed, then it is an easy fix which would avoid a lot of annoyance.

The flight itself was fine. I appreciated the speed at which Hawaiian served the main meal; I was fast asleep a little over an hour after takeoff! They also served a small breakfast 90 minutes before arrival which I really appreciated. The hard product, though, is far from industry leading. I hope to have an opportunity to try their new B787 Business Class when they join the OneWorld alliance.Meer informatie
