Vietnam Airlines offers one of the lowest full-service airfares in the region. With a rather cheap airfare to Seoul on the super long National Day weekend, I decided to try out their services with a very reasonable fare. On top of that, Vietnam Airlines has also recently increased the capacity of one of their flights … Continue reading Flight Review – Vietnam Airlines VN656: Singapore to Ho Chi Minh City (for Seoul-Incheon) by Airbus A350-900 Version 2 (Zodiac/Safran Seats)
As I booked my ticket later than usual when planning this trip, thanks to the change in Royal Railway's timetable which brought me to Bangkok instead, airfares between full-service and low-cost carriers were minimal. Taking costs and services into account, I decided to go for Singapore Airlines to go back home. I picked a flight … Continue reading Flight Review – Singapore Airlines SQ983: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi to Singapore by Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner
Jetstar Asia 3K593 is a daily flight from Singapore to Phnom Penh, with Jetstar Asia being the sole low-cost carrier on this route. I had booked this free fare flight quite some time back, and with the rapid progress of Royal Railway perfectly in time for my trip, I was very pleased to be flying … Continue reading Flight Review – Jetstar Asia 3K593: Singapore to Phnom Penh by Airbus A320-200
By now you might be a little bit bored of these bus trip reports, since I'm almost loyal to one bus company only for the overnight ride from Singapore to KL, but I'll just do it anyway. Starmart has new 12.45am departures from Singapore because, I guess, the super frequent midnight departures are still insufficient … Continue reading Starmart Express: Golden Mile Tower Singapore to KL Sentral by Bus
Scoot TR411 is Scoot's newest route, flying from Kota Bharu non-stop to Singapore, making it Scoot's 7th gateway to Malaysia. The flight path spans almost the entire Peninsular Malaysia on the East Coast, save for a small portion between Kota Bharu and Pengkalan Kubor, hence my calling this flight as the new-age Ekspres Rakyat Timuran. … Continue reading Flight Review – Scoot TR411: Kota Bharu to Singapore by Airbus A320-200
Transtar Cross Border is a series of public buses running between Singapore and Johor Bahru, Malaysia, operated by the same company operating the long-distance luxury buses to Kuala Lumpur and Genting Highlands. While a public bus, the Transtar Cross Border charges a premium for their express services, but this could be worth it on peak … Continue reading Transtar Cross Border Service TS8: Orchard (Thong Teck Building) to JB Sentral (Johor Bahru Checkpoint) by Express Bus
From the Keisei Skyliner, it was a short and easy elevator up to the departures are for my Delta Air Lines flight back to Singapore. Delta Air Lines operate one flight a day to Singapore, which is actually a seventh freedom flight since the flight number does not originate in the United States of America, … Continue reading Flight Review – Delta Air Lines DL169: Tokyo-Narita to Singapore by Boeing 767-300ER
Delta Air Lines is an American airline which does not operate direct flights to the United States of America from Singapore. In fact, even if you book such a ticket, it would require a transit in Tokyo Narita Airport as Delta operates a unique Seventh Freedom Flight to Tokyo, whereby the flight does not carry … Continue reading Flight Review – Delta Air Lines DL168: Singapore to Tokyo-Narita by Boeing 767-300ER
After lunch, it's time to head back to Singapore via the Shuttle Tebrau, ending this very short loop around Peninsular Malaysia. The Shuttle Tebrau is particularly useful on peak days such as Sundays when tonnes of people are trying to head back to Singapore, both local Singaporeans after a day tirp or weekend in Malaysia, … Continue reading Shuttle Tebrau 83dn: Johor Bahru Sentral to Woodlands CIQ by Train
Heading to KL again, I was definitely not going to get the train after what I had experienced, so I went back to my old reliable Starmart Express. This time though, Starmart has new 12.45am departures, so I opted for that as I didn't want a super early start in KL for this trip. As … Continue reading Starmart Express: Golden Mile Tower Singapore to Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS) by Bus
