    Premier Lounge At SIN, SilkAir Economy Class To Hyderabad

    Our flight wasn’t scheduled until 8P, so even with a late check-out time of 3PM, it still left several hours to kill.

We had about an hour left and had exhausted all of the options in that terminal, so we decided to hop into the Premier Lounge to relax. This lounge was part of the Lounge Club network, and I used my two free passes that come with the Chase Ink card since they were about to expire.

    Nonostante gli avvertimenti dell’ICAO e dell’EASA, molti vettori europei continuano a sorvolare il Mar Caspio, l’Iraq e l’Iran, aree considerate pericolose a causa dell’attività militare. Cathay Pacific è l’unica compagnia a evitare queste rotte, aumentando il tempo di volo per garantire la sicurezza. Al contrario, Lufthansa e Swiss sostengono che non ci siano rischi per i voli che operano a quote diverse dai missili.
