• I used one at T1 last night, it's a welcome change from the time consuming manual process.Just a heads up, they aren't the same machines the locals/Singaporean's use (on the right hand side of the hall). These are separate ones for foreigners which are identical to the gates you go through on dep...

  • I recall it's very rare for anyone to successfully (business wise) operate small jets like the E190 as part of the 'mainline' operation.They only seem to work successfully when operated by a contractor like Alliance or an arms-length subsidiary which doesn't have the parents cost structure.VA had...
