The weather was not good that day. Greeted by the not-so-friendly crew, I made my way to the seat with about 90% of the seats taken. I checked the weather radar and fortunately for us, the weather was good until evening time. The crew came around to serve us snack and for the rest of the ride, it was a comfortable ride.

Currently the airport has 4 terminals with 3 passengers terminals and 1 cargo complex. Blue Dart's Boeing 757-200F was being towed to the cargo hanger. It took a while before the seatbelt sign was turned off and the crew started preparing for in-flight service. The 2 hours flight in this cabin was certainly comfortable.

When we reached our aircraft, we were the first batch to board so that gave me a chance to explore the cabin. Anyway, once I settled down, the cabin crew came to distribute the menu and also an amenity kit. Once all the passengers settled down and the crew completed the pre-departure checklists, we were on our way.

Once on board, I noticed a cabin crew was serving champagne on a plastic cup and was pleasantly surprised I was given one, I suppose because of the occasion (New Year's Day). Once we were on our way, we flew through a bit of turbulence but once the weather was better, the seat belt sign was turned off. That's a good idea!

The weather at Changi was great! The weather that day in Singapore was great and we took off smoothly into the friendly skies. The captain made a couple of announcements including the welcome and thank you speeches and he also mentioned about some weather along the way. This is where my flight departed from. Time to board!

On that day, there were three commercial flights and a cargo flight flying from Taipei to Singapore and would return to Taipei after a short layover. The cabin crew were waiting for us. I wonder whether was it because of the bad weather on route that caused us to push back late. Time to board Starlux's Airbus A350-900!
