The flight to Singapore was in a whole different league to Aeroflot. The food was edible, there were life jackets under the seats and they even did that little safety speech at the start of the flight, something that the Aeroflot flight attendants couldn't be bothered with. Singapore is one of those places that you either hate or you really hate.

It was only an hour’s flight with Thai International (prepaid price $54), with the cabin service excellent and a great meal of lobster and wine. We arrived in Singapore at 8pm (they were 30 minutes ahead), having crossed the equator 10 minutes earlier. The harbour was fantastic at night, with all the vessels awaiting berths well lit up, backed up by a beautiful sunset. Only blot on the Thai copybook was the non-arrival of my suitcase at the end of the flight, although arguably it was probably the best thing that could have happened to me as it was later replaced with a much lighter backpack and about a quarter of the number of clothes. Teamed up with Aussie girl Angela at ... read more
