Singapore Airlines

As probably most who have flown it would agree, Singapore Airlines is comparatively much goodness. First thing that hits you when you walk in are the bright blue/purple seats (well, i guess the outfits of the stewardesses are quite catching, but that’s fairly familiar for me).. then there’s the matching flannel blankets, the many channels on the personal tv set, the bendy sides of the headrest, the icecream bars they offer you after meals, the decent airline food, the purple socks on flights, and the nice stewardesses.

if you manage a first class/”raffles” class seat, you get what look either like big cushy armchairs, or a-bit-overly-dramatic cushy thrones. i’ll give my verdict on those when i get to try them one day.
for now, i’m lucky i’m still small enough to bunch up and curl into my economy seat at the window, and climb over passengers sitting next to me by stepping on their armrests, so they don’t have to get up when i have to visit the restroom.

Singapore Airport is also nice, and the rest of the city is similar as far as my memory serves, but it’s certainly grown up in the past 15 years.
