Sure enough the departure is delayed. At the gate I am paged to collect boarding passes for the return flights some 60-odd hours hence! So much for the 48 hour check in limit!
The usual head winds arent as strong as normal and so we make up time en route to arrive on time. I sleep a little but got woken up by the general noise when breakfast is served about 75 minutes from Singapore.
