I was comfortable when I bought my etickets because I had plenty of time, an hour and half to board for the connecting flight to Mumbai. But my first flight bound Singapore yesterday was delayed for an hour so, and that leaves me thread chance if I could make it, so tight squeeze there. So I told the agents on the check-in counter about that, and gladly, they took care of it, anyway, it’s not my fault to have missed the next flight. They placed me in the best seat and treat me like a VIP traveller, haha, I didn’t think it mattered if they let me board last as long as I go out first, but they let me in first. I felt spoiled. Darn, those people are very caring of their costumers! I did not regret Silkair was delayed. They promised that someone’s gonna take care of me in Singapore and if I would miss my flight, oh God please no, they would arrange for hotel for me to stay the night in, as they do with others. For me Singapore Changi is very big airport and if I will just walk and run, still.. Okay so I entrusted it to them. Imagine how worried we were, especially hubby, for me to extend another day? Oh well. Part of a travel experience I would not mind having, anyway, it was secured and safe.

Itinerary change
My itinerary follows the Davao-Singapore-Mumbai and back route and in my return I have 30 minute allowance to make it on the second leg. Granted the flight will not be delayed from Mumbai on midnight, there is a chance but I would have to run in the big airport in Singapore. But today, four days before my flight I changed that, and glad that the travel agency was cooperating. I may stay for several hours in Singapore, but it gives me plenty of time to make it to the next flight heading home, Davao.
