Just flew two sectors on TR last weekend (Krabi was nice ^ ) and they're still pretty much the same as they were when I wrote this last year:

This time I was prepared and made sure to chow down before/after the flight instead of during it, although the Billygoat Wine In A Can(tm) still made an excellent gag gift at S$4.50 a pop (and the Merlot doesn't taste nearly as atrocious as I'd expected). Unexpectedly, they've also added a reasonably interesting inflight magazine, although it's only updated every 3 months.

And yeah, the 15kg thing is no joke. My luggage weighed in at 15.2 kg and the check-in staff actually had a brief discussion about it before choosing to ignore it. And while the seat pitch is tolerable for short hops, I would also hesitate to take them for 4-hour trips like those to Darwin or Macau...
