Singapore Airlines Business Class – Male to Singapore

The boat docked back at Male around 9am and I had an hour to kill before the check-in desks opened. Camped out in the AC section of the food court area.

At T-3, I made my way up to security before heading into the check-in hall. The Y line up was massive, so I just walked up to the J class line, told the security “Singapore Business class” and he let me through without even a document check. After passing through security, I proceeded to check in and was the first person to do so. I inquired if any business class seats were available for cash upgrade and indeed there was one available. After a quick swipe of the credit card and a few signatures, I received my BP and made my way to immigration.

There were separate lines for J passengers in the immigration area and for secondary security. I was through after 20 minutes and made my way to the lounge.

I remember reading an influencers post on IG that this was the worst lounge he had ever seen but I told him that he’s never been to the Air India lounge at Delhi airport.

At T-70, an announcement was made in the lounge that boarding for the SQ flight would begin soon. Took that as a cue to leave and made my way downstairs to the bus gates.

Lovely views during the bus ride

The vibe felt off with the cabin crew this time around. I chalked it up to the fact that I was a last minute upgrade and set my expectations low for the flight.
