Cash only, no credit cards, and of course the office is only open 9-5 weekdays, 9-12 Saturday, closed Sundays and public holidays. But against the odds I did manage to nip in on a Saturday, interrupting the beauty sleep of a genuinely astonished ticketing agent, who then painstakingly wrote out both my ticket and receipt entirely by hand, and at S$177 return (taxes included) the cost came out to under half of what SQ charges.
Well I'm glad to see you had the persistance to finalise a booking with Adam Air - I had been interested in booking with them on the SIN-CGK leg before, and it really seemed like they didn't want to take your money. Valuair's remained my choice as well - lets hope JetstarAsia doesn't butcher Valuair's legroom down to what they have on the rest of their fleet!
