Ordered 230 Aircraft - JT to SGN

[augmentin8]

Hi people, a long time since i posted. After reviewing a trip to SGN previously, i have decided to go SGN again with a bunch of friends for a short christmas gateway.

Sorry for the late posting of the TR, lack of time till now :/

This time I'll be travelling by an airline that ordered 230 B737-900ER - Lionair. A quick fact here is that Lionair was also the launch customer of this particular make of the aircraft



Bought the airtickets at promotional fares @ $205 all in considering it was christmas, there was no peak charge levied by JT unlike its competitors TR,3K,SQ. Kudos to JT.

However people here please note : Contrary to the Lionair's website, they DO NOT provide any meals on board

Wide Gate





Up the aircraft!



Looking forward to the so called Boeing Sky Interior ?







A better pic of the legendary sky interior would be taken on the return leg



Blood red seat covers



Huge legroom due to EMEX seat being requested

Nothing beats a bowl of Pho

Short trip of 4 days and i would say it passed very quickly. Packed up, and off to Tan Son Nhat International




Clean and spacious, similar to design of terminal 3





Till the point where they even use the same baggage handling system (BHS) and the same ARINC iMuse used in Changi



Time to check in !





Wait!! The tail of this a/c seems a little different from other JT aircraft!



Closer look at the tail



Fuel for the flight







Landing in SIN

I've eaten pho in many places where there's a Vietnamese community but nothing beats the original!

Thanks for posting, Augmentin8.

Thanks for sharing

Wonder how JT got rights to fly SGN-SIN... Is it a tag-on sector?

Hi SilverChris, yep it is a tag on sector

JT 150 CGK-SIN_SGN
JT 157 SGN-SIN-CGK

JT used to serve a sandwich/bun with drinks on this sector. Looks like they have scrapped it.

I got a box full of food, and a juice also, on this same flight. However the seats were way too cramped and despite the 20usd cheaper fare price, I've gone back to Jetstar for casual jaunts.
