accomodation and the transport. Attractions with admission fees were not included. We booked Ethihad Airways to New York as SQ was
fully booked (due to last minute booking) and the fare was $1500/person. So total cost without meals and attractions is ~$2.5k.
A tour package in Singapore could cost ~$5k with some meals/attractions thrown in. Tour agency here did not include Thousand Islands.
and Quebec City.
Dinner was at Penang Culture Restaurant, Terminal 2. We arrived early to have dinner here and to avoid the peak hour traffic. Our flight was
at 820pm. The meal came with free flow of water and an awful free birdnest desert. It was an economical and hearty dinner.
BBQ Lala $13.95
Black Pepper Beef $10.95
10 sticks of chicken Satay $9.95
Chicken Roll $4.95
Stir Fried Brocolli $ 8.95
Total Bill was $56.44.
Ethihad aircraft and interior was pretty new but I was not used to the appetizer and desert served. There was also no Hagendaz ice cream,
unlike SQ or CX. Transit was at Abu Dhabi and the leg from Abu Dhabi to New York was operated by Jet Airways and service was inferior to Ethihad.
Aircraft was also older.
The Indian cuisine served on board was quite ok but I was not used to the appetizer and desert served.
Light meal was large grain couscous and vegetables with orange vinagrette
Main course was Uttapam with tomato and onion served with sambar and vermicelli noodles.
Refreshment was a selection of wholesome filled sandwiches but it was not appetising at all
. Breakfast - Appetiser was seansonal fruit and croissant. Main Course was Herb Omelette served with chicken sausage, baked beans and fried potato.
Served with coffee or tea.
After a long flight of about 22hrs, we finally arrived at JFK Airport.
