Part 2 – As Empty as a SIN-HKG flight can get, SQ Refurbished Regional J
After coming off the Ultra-Long SQ 37 LAX – SIN, I needed to head over from T1 back to the T2 transfer counter for an onward boarding pass.
However the counters were packed with people so I decided to enter Singapore for 30 minutes and check-in at T3 instead.
Apr 30, 2013 – Tuesday
SQ 890 SIN – HKG 7:35am – 11:20am (772/J)
Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 3
Singapore Airlines Business Class Check-In
No lines at either entry/exit into Singapore and I shortly went back to T3 Airside

A hot shower is definitely requisite after an 8700 mile flight and with little appetite, talk about rarity
I just went for a drink and caught up on some emails prior to heading off to Gate B6, the boarding gate for SQ 890.
And around 6:45am, I finally left the lounge for the 10 min walk to gate B6

With the very light load, the FAs had an open bar PDB, so another Singapore Sling.
The overall flight map wasn’t working, flight time today was 3 hr 18 minutes back to HKG.
And with an light load of only 6 Business Class pax and 60% load in Economy, door were closed 10 Minutes early at 7:25am, but due to some ATC and runway traffic, 890 wasn’t airborne until 7:58am
