I met Mr. Adam once in the SQ lounge in HKG (at that time i didn't know who he was) but he was very aloof and quirky. Anyway we have this long conversation about aviation and he said his favorite airline was SQ and how much he loves them etc etc...and says that he was flying SQ on to CGK. By the end of the conversation, i was convinced that the guy was staff of SQ....so imagine my surprise when he told me that he also had an airline called Adam Air!

When i was next in Jakarta i bought a RT ticket on Adam Air to DPS our of curiosity. That was probably my second most scariest flight ever (first was a night flight on Kish Air from DXB to Kish Island!) and needless to say i didn't use the return portion of the ticket.

I'd rather take my chances skydiving without a parachute than flying Adam Air.
