As always it was a relaxing start to our holiday, we were through booking, passport and security so quickly I felt we had left sometime out. Being business class we had a couple of hours to spend in Kris club relaxing before our flight left, but have to say here that didn't think much of the upgrade of the club in Brisbane its not the way it used to be, much smaller and not much on offer compared to the last time we visited about a year ago. However, we did manage to relax and before we knew it we were on the flight, comfortable with a glass of champagne. It was a night flight so we didn't want anything to eat all we wanted to do was sleep (hopefully) and this can be a problem as we didn't find the flat beds that comfortable, instead of being straight, you had to curl round to get your feet in the right position, and if you then had to get up what with your seat belt done up etc. It was a bit of a problem. Also whenever we hit turbulance even a minor one an announcement came on to do up seat belts etc. etc. so you may have just fallen asleep and were then when up, this happened a few times, but i guess safely is their number one priority, but wish I hadn't taken a sleeping pill, didn't get the benefit of it! We were woken early for a breakfast as Singapore is a couple of hours before Brisbane so we were up and eating breakfast about 6 am. However, as we had booked our luggage straight through to penang from Brisbane we had no passport control or collecting luggage at singapore and took the train to terminal 2 and to our Kris Lounge, which I have to say was a millions times better than the lounge in Brisbane. We couldn't resist the aromas from the breakfast area and indulged even had a glass of champagne with it. When it was time to leave just a couple of hours later, we had a few minutes walk to our gate, security check at the gate and we were on Silk Air before we knew it. due to bad weather our one hour 5 minutes took around one hour 25 minutes as we had to keep circling around due to low cloud formation, but the whole trip was quick safe and easy. Thank you Singapore Airline, you made paying out the money something to smile about! Returning we were on a new aircraft from Singapore to Brisbane and although smaller, it was a better way to sleep as the beds were straight out and an added bonus was instead of the normal 8 hours it was only 6 hours. All in all can't fault the airline Thanks a million see you again soon.
