This is way overdue and I apologise for the delay - been caught up with work (expansion of operations into Bali, Borneo bla bla bla).
As the gf's and my birthday are only 2 days apart, I decided to make some use of them points in my Krisflyer... So it 80,000+ points for 2pax return Kuala Lumpur to Bali via Singapore in J.
The flights turned out this way (IIRC):
SQ117 KUL/SIN
SQ948 SIN/DPS
SQ943 DPS/SIN
SQ116 SIN/KUL
We initially planned to book Y but it was unavailable across all categories (saver, standard, etc). The idea was to do a north east - central - southwest bali circuit in a week, spending 3N in Tembok / Candidasa, 3N in Ubud and 3N in Seminyak area.
I kinda planned this whole thing in secret (to surprise the lady of course) and was kinda relieved that she didn't put up much of a fuss when I told her to pack on flight day and bring her passport along.
We stayed at the following places.
1. Spa Village Resort - Tembok
2. Kamandalu Resort - Ubud
3. Sofitel Seminyak Bali - Seminyak
Idea was to avoid the massive human traffic in Kuta and we successfully navigated ourselves through the maze of streets in Ubud.
So the journey began in SKL KUL, a small little quaint airside lounge in the satellite terminal of Kuala Lumpur International Airport.
From the windows, you would be able to usually see the aircraft bound for Singapore (usually at gate C2, 9V-SVN in this case). As it was an early evening flight, didn't have much to drink (the gf either).
No page for boarding (I suppose you get moving when you see the crowd move) - and indeed we moved. The short hop was uneventful we landed as soon as we took off (or something like that).
We parked our behinds at the SKL in Singapore till it was time to go - not much there either except some nice selection of drinks (where are the bartenders!!?!!). We were boarding soonafter and business class was rather full on that flight. Welcome onboard Mr Leo and happy birthday was my greeting
How thoughtful! Champagne was forthcoming, and it was free-flowing throughout the flight. Didn't check the brand but it was nice and dry - the way I like it.
One thought though, nuts came in packets, not bowls..
I chose the steak for dinner and the gf, fish. We both agreed that it was both overdone.
But the best part of course would be Ben & Jerrys for dessert!
Next part - Spa Village Resort
