Greetings, just thought i'd to an express TR on my trip to TPE with SQ, and to pass the time waiting for my flight to SYD
SQ878
B777-200
I arrived an Changi with plenty time to spare, so I could take my own sweet time after checking-in. Arriving at T2 I lined up to check-in, and when it was my turn the staff told me I went to the wrong terminal, it departs from T3 . So I hopped on the Skytrain there. Darn, guess I should have checked my ticket At this time T3 has more people than I thought. But thankfully lines were not too long. I went browsing around the stores there and at 1130 I was at the gate.
Boarding was called first for the C pax, PPS and other pax with priority boarding, but I saw some other passengers joining the queue to board already, without being stopped . Once onboard I took the window seat at the back which I've chosen during OLCI. The flight was quite empty, so everyone (almost) had an empty seat next to him/her. No warm towels served on this flight As we pushback I spotted this Megatop looking all lonely, perhaps she's leaving the fleet soon.
Before takeoff the captain (Australian i presume) announced bad weather along the journey, and at TPE it may be raining. We lifted off at exactly 1231. First FAs served drinks. For this sector they'd usually be in a hurry to serve passengers, but due to the very light load there's no rush. I had some tea and settled of the IFE. Luckily the IFE aboard this 772 is AVOD. I heard of some 777s that don't have the AVOD, have they left the fleet?
Due to the rough weather meal service was somewhat affected so the FAs had to delay the service.
I fell asleep but 2 passengers behind me were very very noisy . I couldn't take it anymore so I requested a seat-change. I chose an overwing seat. 39000ft above the Philippines meals were finally served. As far as I could remember I had fried rice or rice with chicken (I forgot). Still groggy from my sleep I woke up when we were near Taipei. And yes it was raining at TPE
Touchdown at 1705, 10 mins behind schedule. Marking an end to this flight. Overall it was an enjoyable flight, FAs were indeed very friendly and helpful. Food could be improved though. Thanks for reading this express TR
