Singapore Airlines (SQ) 531 AMD-SIN

We take off and land almost on time, flying 2,650 miles for 5 hours 36 minutes in an Airbus A330-300 with a 2-2-2 business class seat configuration.

The service is terrific (other than no bottled water being handed out until shortly before we land) but the angle-flat seats are among the least pleasant we’ve experienced, with very little foot room when the seats are reclined.

We have a chicken dish shortly after takeoff and manage a couple of hours of sleep before landing just after 7 AM Singapore time, 2 1/2 hours ahead of India.

A pretty sunrise is glimpsable on a foggy morning.
