Evening....from the SKL HKG. Probably wondering what the heck I'm doing in the HKG SKL at 9:03 PM Saturday evening when my flight was suppose to depart at 8:00 PM.

Well it looks like my flight is delayed, due to a mechanical ex-ORD. Looks like new arrival time is 2:37 AM in SIN. Thank goodness I cancelled my stay at the Sheraton and decided to slum it in the SKL.

So all isn't bad!

Good news...

- Cleared immigration and went and got some of StarG's mango desserts

Better news...

As many of you may have read, UA fumbled with my SIN-DPS ticket and then couldn't rebook me since there was no "I" class. Well from talking to a few of you it looks like my seat was still occuppiied. So I went over to the SQ ticketing desk to see if I was still on the flight even though UA supposedly cancelled it. Low and behold, I still had a booking on the flight, but it was refunded. Hmm. So I'm thinking I have a held reservation in "I" class. I go over to the UA desk and tell them that SQ still has a reservation for me on the flight. I ask the agent to see if she can call SQ to see if they will cancel that reservation in hopes the "I" seat will go back into inventory. After one phone call SQ got rid of my held reservation. I then ask the agent to see if the "I" space was available. Jackpot! The "I" space reappeared and I'm now back on the party flight
