With the many public holidays these couple of months, I had been making short trips around to take advantage of them and the latest over the Vesak holiday was to Perth, the Western Australian city which I had not visited before, even though it is a very popular destination for Singaporeans. Flights on SQ were booked early at very reasonable prices.
Checked in at T3 and had to get the boarding passes manually printed due to the ETA requirements.
Departure gate was at the A16-20 cluster.
Would be flying SQ's A330 on this red-eye to Perth

Boarding was called and we boarded the aircraft. Earphones and newspapers were available at the door for self-service. Greeted during boarding and directed towards the rear of the aircraft. A pillow and blanket was already placed on each seat.
Crew assisting with the boarding process.
Was seated at 59A tonight. Legroom was pretty decent without the footrest obstruction.
Hot towels being distributed. Wonder how long more this will last with the rumours that hot towels may be cut in Economy. Surprisingly the flight was not full considering the upcoming mid-week holiday, probably about 70% filled in economy. Guess it was the examination season for the kids.
Inflight magazines and stuff. For this month, SQ is celebrating its 70th anniversary.
The cheapo quality earbuds.
