Got it done👍.
As I have friends/former work colleagues there, I’d stay for 12/24/48 hrs each time - only once did I do the two-hour turnaround. That was rough!
No issue in PP clearing on the SIN flight? Assuming you were still GS, I guess you would know before you left since you would call and push them through at T-72, which would have covered the return as well, correct?
