Flight Details:
Airline: KLM – Royal Dutch Airlines Aircraft: Boeing 777-300ER Registration: PH-BVD Route: WADD – WSSS Flight Time: 2 Hours Seat: 2K STD: 2035 I had been in Bali for just under 2 weeks for both a holiday and to be a guest at a family wedding. Overall I enjoyed Bali and as a second time on the island I gained a better appreciation for it. I have always wanted to go back to Singapore as I enjoy atmosphere, the location and weather. It is a beautiful city and has lot of activities etc. to do. I thought to myself I could probably pick up a cheap ticket to get there and this would also give me an opportunity to fly home on the SQ A380 (9VSKH). With this is in mind I managed to pick a fairly cheap business class ticket on KLM and thought it would be a good opportunity to fly an international airline on a short sector to try out all the bells and whistle to which I was pleasantly surprised. So on Friday the 19th, I checked out of my party of a hotel for the last 2 weeks and headed for the new DPS international terminal, which is reminiscent of both the wave roof of LHR T5 and the openness. ![]() Indonesia is different to Australia in terms of security and have their baggage screening point is before you enter the check-in area. Once through I made my way to the counters and waited about 20 minutes whilst the ground crew set up the counters. ![]() Once I had completed the process, I then proceeded to the pay station and completed a second round of security checks and then onto immigration. This process was rather slow but once through I began to explore the terminal. Here’s a few pics from my findings; ![]() ![]() Once I had finished searching I headed to the JAS lounge, which was only a temporary lounge set up in a spare space with some retaining walls which really don’t block out any noise. I’m not one to snob but there was not much really to offer and I was actually disappointed as I was hoping for something a little bit better… ![]() At -60 STD I headed for the gate where I found my lovely Boeing 77W in the lovely Skyteam livery, unfortunately, the windows are tinted and due to it being a night departure the conditions were really conducive to photo taking, here is my attempt with a small hand Olympus camera. ![]() The boarding gate was setup well and controlled in a reasonable way. ![]() Once through the priority lane, I boarded and found my very comfortable seat for a 2 hour trip. The only flaw that I found personally was that the tray table was not sturdy as it was a fold out half tray with no support between the two trays underneath. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Once settled in the cabin crew came around and offered a beverage service whether it be OJ or Champers, being I was on holiday and I had payed to enjoy myself, I thought I would indulge ![]() ![]() Just prior to pushback a familiar sight arrived on a bay a few doors down :P ![]() After that and once airborne the crew came around for a towel service and issued amenity kits. ![]() More to come Last edited by JamesL; 28th September 2014 at 02:50 PM. |
