On the seat armrest is a radio channel controller. Ii seems that SilkAir also offers in-seat music channels on its B738s, but using your own earpieces, in addition to the SilkAir Studio wireless streaming IFE and dropdown TVs with silent TV shows. However on such a short flight, I am not too bothered with the IFE. Seat wise, other than the limited legroom compared to the Airbus fleet, recline was also not too generous, However, seat cushioning was comfortable enough and there is an adjustable headrest.




Inflight magazines. Newspapers were also offered by the crew after boarding was almost completed. Some pillows were available in the overhead bins if required.




View from the window.




Boarding almost completed. It was almost a full flight in Economy, but rather empty in Business. 4 crew would be serving in Economy with a further 2 upfront in Business. There were 2 male SilkAir cabin crew on this flight, my first experience with them since SilkAir started hiring male cabin crew.




A think refreshing wet towel was distributed after boarding was completed.




Doors closed and safety video played via dropdown screens. Flight time would be a short 1.5hrs.




Taxi to the runway.






Departure from Rwy20C.
