Tuesday, July 18, 2023 – We were up bright and early for breakfast and an 8:30 am driver pickup. Fortunately the drive to Depensar Airport in Bali was only just over an hour (often traffic makes it closer to two hours). This meant we had time to relax and enjoy an airport lounge for a bit.
A slightly delayed 2½ hour flight to Singapore resulted in only a 2 hour layover at the Changi Airport. The downside of this was that we did not have enough time to exit the airport and come back in (through security each way) to explore the Jewel – a dining and shopping “experience” that is a new part of this large airport. But, we did have time to ride the tram through a couple more times to see the huge waterfall fountain in the middle of the Jewel.
Our flight from Singapore to Bangkok was uneventful. We remain HUGE fans of Singapore Airlines. The flight crew was excellent, the baggage allowance generous, and economy seats received full meal and beverage service (even on just short 2 hour flights). Plus we loved the uniforms that the flight crew wore!
We arrived in Bangkok in the evening and easily checked into our hotel (a different one than we stayed in a couple of weeks earlier). As we had been well-fed on the plane we didn’t need dinner, but headed up to check out the rooftop bar for a drink and snack before ending our day.
