Arrive at Changi Airport around 10pm from PEK and had an overnight J flight to BNE. The flight from PEK to SIN was packed.
On arrival I notice the serious impact of the Iceland Volcano on Changi Airport. I have never before seen so many PAX lined up at Transfer desk A in terminal 3. The Silver Kris Lounge was full and it was hard to find any seats. I would imagine that Changi and Singapore Hotels would having difficulty coping with the number of passengers enroute through SIN to Europe. Lots of airlines use Changi as hub/link for European destinations.
I have to say that the staff at the airport handled the matters very well and would imagine things have got worse throughout today.
On a positive note my business associate managed to sleep along the "four" seets in Y class on the A330 to BNE. I managed to just spread out in 11C in J class as I find I am too tall for normal J seets. He was probably more comfortable in economy and I was in business. The SIA advised that the the planes to BNE were normally packed so I guess my business associate got lucky.
I heard that QANTAS is cancelling flights to SIN and will make special arrangements for Asian customers.
Glad to back in BNE and happy made trip last night.
