This is the area of Rossio Santa Maria Maior The view is absolutely stunning especially in good weather. Although the weather looks good, it was also another windy day. About 40 minutes on the aircraft, we were finally on our way, no updates from the Captain until later part of the flight. Goodbye Lisbon, until next time!

When we reached our aircraft, we were the first batch to board so that gave me a chance to explore the cabin. For the flight itself, after take off at Delhi, we encountered quite a bit of turbulence and also more turbulence happened during the crossing through the Bay of Bengal. We were flying in good weather at this point.

The weather at Changi was great! The weather that day in Singapore was great and we took off smoothly into the friendly skies. The captain made a couple of announcements including the welcome and thank you speeches and he also mentioned about some weather along the way. As the Boeing 737-8 is a single aisle narrow-body aircraft.

Gone were the days when Singapore Airlines operated wide-body on popular cities such as Penang and Phuket with the Boeing 777-200 (Non-ER rated) and now the airline is operating the smaller narrow-body aircraft which allows more flexibility and adjustment of the frequency or up-gauge the aircraft on the routes when is needed.

Checking on my aircraft's status, she was on her way. I did a check on the weather and I noticed how windy the condition is at Lisbon so one thing for sure, this was probably a bumpy flight. As far as I know the A321neo-LR is the only narrow-body aircraft in TAP's fleet that has seatback screens in both Economy and Business Class.
