SIN - DXB

I regret not flying with Singapore airlines now.

The flight to Dubai was a shocker, packed with first time dud fliers, the guy next to me kept on coughing the whole trip, complete with flying bits of phlegm *shudder*, sounded like he was on his last stretches after contracting bubonic plague.

Question... why do people insist on bringing babies on planes? Their delicate ears aren't ready to handle rapid changes in pressure, and no matter how lovely you think your baby's cries are, a team of babies performing synchronised wailing does not a church choir make. If you can afford to fly, you can afford to leave your baby behind and hire a babysitter. If you're taking your baby to visit relatives... DON'T!, your relatives should come and visit you, otherwise they're cheapskates and you should disown them.

Additionally, there's drastically decreased leg room, it was like a long haul Air Asia flight, only Air Asia is 100 times cheaper. Anyway most of the trip I was too tired to care. Hopefully the flight over to Rome is better.

The airport is also a marked change to the pristine, ordered Changi airport. People sleeping on the floor all over the airport in various states of undress, a few concerning smells in places. But hey, at least I get free wireless and the guy at the information counter reminded me of the Fonz, albeit an Arabic version.

Now if only the airport sold contact lenses.... :-/. Rather than forgetting socks and underwear, this time my supply of contact lenses conveniently decided to run out!

... I should really stop ranting now and get to my gate. :D
