First time with Scoot

Got a under RM100 flight ticket to Singapore with Scoot, which I read has merged with Tiger Airlines. Well it's RM78 with the RM8 processing fee. I would've saved myself RM20 if I got it sooner, but oh well. And that was just flight only; if you have a bag to check in, it varies depending on when you do it, obviously cheapest when you just book the flight at about RM70 per bag. If you do it afters, it goes up to RM100. Which is just too damn much. 

So fast forward to the airport part: it's located on Row Z at KLIA2, along with Jetstar. You can't check in online unless the flight is leaving from Singapore, so you have to show up in person. In an age where printing your own boarding pass is de rigeur, getting an old school card stock one is such a novelty.

When I was in line to check in, there was this auntie behind me who's not giving me any personal space AT ALL. Dunno if she too excited to go Singapore or what. WTF. Which I mentioned to the lady at the counter when it was my turn (thankfully, wasn't next to her on the plane later). Weighed the bag and it was about 5 kgs, so I'm in the clear. The counter lady didn't ask to weigh my personal bag. She also told me to get moving cos it's quite a walk (it's KLIA2, when is there NEVER a long walk?!). Fortunately, it was like Gate L7 and not L22 or I would've thrown a fit. 

Thankfully, there was an empty seat between me (window, nice wing view) and this dad on the aisle seat, who's wife and young kids were across the aisle. 

We left a little later, not sure if it's weather related (it was still raining) or just punctuality issues. And the touchdown was not bad but the deceleration could stand to be better. 

Also cleared immigration at T2 pretty quickly too, which might have to do with it being the middle of a working Friday...? But yay anyway.

Okay first experience, but I don't know about next time...?
