Greeted by the not-so-friendly crew, I made my way to the seat with about 90% of the seats taken. This is the front view of the cabin. So for the pilots to communicate with the cabin crew, they need to do so by the telephone. In-Flight Snack During the flight, the 2 cabin crew came around and distribute snacks for us.

Initially a woman sitting at the aisle seat was willing to change her seat with the wife (sitting a row behind me - middle seat) then after that the cabin crew came to assist and informed them that there was a vacant seat at the first row (no idea which seat it was).

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). Announcement was made by the Captain about our flight which we would to expect some turbulence especially along the way but no mention about the flight delay.

My in-flight Experience After boarding the aircraft, the purser standing near the door gave me a half hearted smile and one of the cabin crew (let's call her A) was loud, instructing the passengers like how a school teacher deals with his/her students. On my next flight, the nice crew asked whether do I want the can.

The cabin crew were waiting for us. However, he mentioned that there was turbulence along the way, not a surprise especially June to October period is usually the typhoon season and bad weather is quite common. After 20 minutes of taxi, we reached runway 20L. We hit some turbulence while flying through some clouds.

In addition, the airport has 2 runways, runway 10/28 and 16/34 and operates 2 terminals. For business class, they take up the first front rows of the cabin with the middle seat blocked and have a better legroom space of 32 inches. With a minute ahead of schedule, we pushed back and made our way to the departure runway.

After take off, the ride was generally smooth but there was turbulence from time to time but the worst was flying over Bay of Bengal near India. The reason is that the nice cabin crew offered to move my seat mate which she accepted to the front so that she could get off as soon as she can to catch her connecting flight.

For most parts of the flight, it was smooth with just a bit of turbulence during the way out of Changi and on approach to Shanghai. Once we started our descent, the cabin crew appeared and at least they did their job by checking everyone is buckle up before they made their way to their seats.

Anyway, the service on board both flights were great, the crew were professional and they were able to communicate in English. Best Cabin Crew Uniform (Singapore Airlines) The Kebaya looks absolutely stunning on the female cabin crew. I flew with Firefly's ATR-72-500 before so this is not new for me.

Once that was done, we spent about 1/4 of our flight time taxing to runway 20L. There was quite a bit of turbulence in the middle of the flight but landing in Penang was a smooth affair. The taxi to runway 20L seem to take forever. Currently, only 2 runways are in operation and that is runway 20L/02R and 20R/02L.
