The turbulence was not as bad as what I was anticipating and for most parts of the flight, it was smooth. Finally before started our descent, our female Captain came on and updated us on our arrival and weather update and with a prediction of light turbulence during our approach. Off we go, fortunately it wasn't turbulent.

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. Our taxi to the runway didn't take long.

We waited for another 10 minutes before finally given the clearance to board the aircraft, I wonder what was the cause of the delay. As this was the first time sitting quite front in the Boeing 767-400ER, I find it to be quite noisy during take off and there was quite a bit of turbulence during the flight.

I requested a descent from 6,000’ down to 4,000’ and was denied due to traffic. I was soon cleared to descend to 4,000’ and entered IMC during the descent while I located the approach chart to brief. I began a rapid descent from 3,000’ down to the 2,000’ for the IAF. The IAF was looming closer. Sometimes simpler is better.
