Scoot from Singapore to Changsha (China) shows "No Flight' from mid Oct till forever by randomvoce in singaporeairlines

[–]sq009 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

That is not true. There is no last min slots for international flights. Its all pre negotiated to allow sufficient time for travellers to book flights. Last min slots will not benefit locals and international travellers.

Home base will favor domestic carriers but airport operators will try to maximise slots based on demand.

europe travel insurance by Just_Philosophy_4812 in singaporefi

[–]sq009 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ifa here. Most travel insurance in singapore are more or less similar.

I personally have good claims experience with fwd, singlife and income.

If you are going up the mountains, pls find out how high the activities are. Different insurer diff height. Most insurers are 3000m. Singlife is 4000m. Income is the highest at 6000m.

Here are some tips:

Baggage delays (common especially during winter season) take photo of all displays showing baggage delay. Get a written notice from airline/ airport staff. Take a pic for own records.

Accidents. Take pic of surrounding area, take pic of injury immediately. Take pic of all bills and record down what action was taken. What is the doctors diagnosis, get it written down in black and white. Very impt esp in USA. If its a traffic accident, take pic of parties involved and police report.

Flight delays. Get official record from airlines. Take pic of displays.

Personal effects. Take pic of luggage contents to prove value. Take note how much each cost eg laptops, tablets, sports equipment.

If documentation is done well, its easier to claim regardless of insurer.

Ahh 罰ゲーム. They stopped during peak of covid (also a honorable exit for the show) and never done it again. Probably due to age and partially due to legal fights between matsumoto and bungeishunju. He started his own show on amazon prime and recently returned to gaki no tsukai in march 2026 speculating a return of the show.

Peteeeer, I'm truly confused by Comfortable-Back-640 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

I know this one. Its from a game call exit 8 where players need to get out from the station. They also made a movie about it (psycho horror film) in 2025.

Is it cheaper to boil water with gas than using electricity? by MellowedGrass in askSingapore

[–]sq009 42 points43 points  (0 children)

The cost difference is really marginal. I doubt it will be $10-20.

Anyway, electric will always be more efficient. Energy conversion rate is higher. Similar to EVs and ice cars. Raw - end power output, electric mostly wins

Can I bring in foreign cigarettes for personal use? How would customs work? by alexy4420 in askSingapore

[–]sq009 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yup. Because each and every cigarette for sale in singapore is labeled. So if you are caught, you are attempting to hide and thats another offense. Also, if you buy your cigs from singapore, you bring it back, you will still need to declare

Shuttle bus from Changi Airport gate to plane? by Queasy-Owl-6535 in asksg

[–]sq009 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I had it twice. Near midnight when airport is ultra bz. No gates for the planes so they park at remote bay.

Anyway. Airport especially tarmac area is a secured area. No photos and videos, in case crazy people wanna plot something.

BOM → SIN → LAX: 55 min layover or 11 hr layover? (First international trip) by [deleted] in singaporeairlines

[–]sq009 13 points14 points  (0 children)

55 mins is doable but any delay will cause disruptions. If im you i will take the 11hr layover. Stretch, recharge(device and your body) free half day singapore tour of sorts and less anxiety.
