Singapore: October 2017

Day 3: Return

Breakfast at the JW Marriott.

Noodle bar.

Tons of seating-- one of many seating areas.

Not a bad way to start the day.

The lobby.

Mechanical departure board inside Singapore Changi.

Singapore Air KrisGold lounge.

Noodles and glutinous rice.

Not quite sure what this was. Jellied rice thing but it wasn't sweet.

Last minute stop at Ya Kun Kaya Toast.

Pretty terrible. I assume non-airport ones are better?

United 787-9, number 0956.

Shiny new airplane.

15 hours on the way back is better than 18 hours there?

Hope you like noodles. Actually pretty good for economy class gruel.

Getting hooked up!

Great service... on a United flight!??! Notify the media!

Almost the exact same noodles as before. Dragonfruit and a huge almond cookie are a nice touch tho.

Over 9,800 miles by the time we landed.

After a long flight and an even longer day in Singapore, t'was time to head home. "Only" 15 hours or so, plus a few hours beforehand in the airport and at breakfast.

The hotel did a surprisingly nice breakfast, took a quick cab ride to the airport-- much faster than the MRT-- and then finally made a visit to a Ya Kun Kaya Toast before I left. Not sure what the big deal with this chain is, it was pretty awful, or at least the airport location is? (kaya toast at Toast Box on previous trips has been better?)

Then back into the airplane for the SIN-LAX return. Again, surprisingly good service by the flight crew, although the fact that the flight was mostly empty might have been a factor? Pretty edible food by economy class standards as well, at least if you like noodles...
