We’ve arrived.
There’s really nothing that can make that flight enjoyable, but there are lots of things that can go wrong. Many of those things you can see coming a mile away… like for example, the kids being utterly bored and bothersome (or worse) during the flight.
In this case, things couldn’t have been more different, Michelle and James were exemplary on the plane – much to our relief and probably the relief of many other passengers.
One disappointment, despite what might be written on Singapore Air’s website, wireless internet and powerjacks have not yet been installed on all their planes, and ours didn’t have it. I didn’t even bother to pull the computer out of the overhead bin.
This was my first flight on a 777 and it’s a great plane, almost enough room even in economy class. As always, Singapore Air’s staff and amenities excel over any other airline I’ve ever flown.
At the airport we were greated by this disturbing-looking new mascot for Taiwan. He’s so disturbing, it actually took us a while to get Michelle to go pose with him for a photo.
What were they thinking? My guess is that they came up with this idea after watching Japanese kids shows for a few hours.
The weather is good today, but it is muggy. 6:00 AM in the morning and we’re sweating like pigs already.
