[Sydney Local Time - (GMT+8)]

It was my connecting flight from Sydney to Hong Kong via Singapore. For my previous flight report on SQ212 SYD-SIN/08FEB2017, please click here. Originally when I book my flight on SQ, it was said that the layover time was only 50 minutes, however, SQ212/08FEB2017 landed Singapore almost one hour earlier than its scheduled time. I, therefore, have the opportunity to have a walk in Changi's Terminal Three, stretched my legs. I arrived at boarding gate A21 at 14:05, one hour earlier than the scheduled departure time. 

If you are on an international flight, you are always advised to get to the boarding gate 30-45 minutes before the scheduled departing time. However, as you need to pass through security checks before boarding in Changi airport, Singapore Airlines advised their passengers to arrive at the designated boarding gate one (1) hour before the flight departs.

The FAs served us some mixed nuts before having dinner.

Conclusion

I was really impressed by the interior design of the flights, more importantly, the flight attendants. Sunil, Alvin, Claudia, Goh Kah, Grace and Toh Wee were serving the economy cabin on that day. There were some strong turbulences on the whole flight, however, all of the flight stewards and stewardesses could manage to deliver the meals to the customers with confidence and a big smile. I was really amazed by them. I can see that all of them are well-trained and they all serve their customers with professionalism and efficiency. They delivered the food and services with a smiley face, making me, as a customer, felt very warm and comfortable.
