Time for our journey back to Singapore after all the nice scenery, food, fresh air (definitely will miss the air since S'pore frequently gets polluted by haze these couple of months) and of course the fantastic weather! We shall see if the return flight would have improved catering over the depressing catering on the way in.
Again, we took the really convenient public bus service from the bus stop right across our apartment and it was only a short 25min ride to the airport.
Reached the airport 2hrs prior to departure.
Check-in was swift as there were barely any queues. Again, the passenger load would be quite light for this sector. With such low loads, I am really dreading the day when SQ might withdraw from CPT.
After sending our bags and performing tax refund for some purchases, we proceeded through security and immigration painlessly as there were no other international departures during the hour.
Airside now.
As we were rather early, the departure lounge airside was almost totally void of passengers. There were quite a number of shops airside but all were quiet. In fact, there was not a single aircraft parked at the international airbridges.
Condor B767, BA B772 and baby BA B737. The BA B737 is operated by Comair as a franchise of BA.
Our aircraft landed slightly late from SIN via JNB.
Kulula B738 taxiing to the runway.
Our SQ bird arriving at the gate.
9V-SVJ would be performing the long-haul back to Singapore.
BA/Comair B734 taxiing away.
Our boarding gate was just a long narrow corridor.
Another BA aircraft, an elegant B744, arrived from London. There were more "BA" aircraft in CPT than any of the other South Africa airlines.
