US Trip - The Flight

I realised, there were quite a lot of things to write about this "Land of the Free" country and thought maybe I should break down the different parts of our trip so that I don't write an essay long in my blog (which can be overwhelming for the readers).

So, let's just start with the most simple and boring stuff. The flight to NYC. We took the SQ non-stop flight from SIN to Newark Liberty International Airport (which is very near NYC). It pretty much an enjoyable yet tiring flight.

First we're stuck in the aircraft for 18 hours. Though this non-stop flight saves us a good 4hours of flight time compared to if we take the other flight with a stop in between, I landed in US soil with sore knees. I cannot imagine old folks taking this flight. It'll be a torture, physically.

The enjoyable part is that on the trip to and fro, I get to see 9 movies!! Trying to catch up my loss of entertainment after being a mother. The good thing about SQ is that it has AOVD (audio video on demand) for its inflight entertainment. So we can start, pause, fast forward the movies etc whenever we want. WF and I always look forward to taking an SQ flight (or rather he always insist because of the movies, not the food nor service) and the first thing we always do is to flip open the magazine to see the movies list. Having entertainment kills the boredom and time faster in the flight.

Enough said, I'll share more on NYC soon. Stay tuned.
