SilkAir
MI 968
Singapore (SIN) - Shenzhen (SZX)
B737-800
9V-MGJ
Business Class
Flight Time: 3H45M
Boarding gate at E2.
The baby Boeing for this evening's flight to Shenzhen.
Judging by the number of passengers at the gate, the flight seemed rather full. Boarding was called and priority boarding was enforced.
Stepped onboard and was warmly welcomed by the crew. SilkAir's B737-800s were fitted with recliners in Business Class. Not the best seats out there, but sufficient for this sub-4hrs flight. This could also well be my last SilkAir Business Class experience before the airline is absorbed into SQ by end-2020.
My seat at 1A. A pillow and blanket was already placed on each seat.
Mechanical seat controls.
Radio channels? Wonder if they were even used at all.
Legroom was sufficient at Row 1.
Overhead drop-down screens showing how to download SilkAir's wireless IFE app. No need to download for Business Class passengers as IFE devices would be provided later.
View out the window.
Inflight magazine, duty free and safety card.
