It has been YEARS since I last flew out of Subang, especially to Changi. I have the usual hesitation everyone has when it comes to flying Batik Air (don't get me started), but I figured cos it's the only jet flight out of the day, it shouldn't be so bad.
On the one hand, I wouldn't have to be up so god damned early to make it to KLIA 3, 4 hours before my usual pick of mid-morning flight out. On the other hand, I still had to wake up at 5 something to be there before the check-in counter closes at 6.30 a.m. cos the flight is at 7.30 a.m..
So yeah, woke up 5-ish, put myself together pretty quickly, had a bit of breakfast, and left the house around or close to 6 a.m.. Cos it was still too damn early in the morning, made it to Subang airport in under 20 minutes. I just barely made it to the bag drop off (if they're gonna include 10 kg checked luggage in the ticket price, you bet your ass I'm gonna use it). They gave me another boarding pass despite having checked in online. As someone who saves the card stock boarding passes for the journal, I appreciated that.
Before going in, I meandered around to see what's open at Subang Skypark at that hour, and it's the usual suspects: Starbucks, Coffee Bean, ZUS, MyNews, and erm, CU. Kinda sad that McDonald's also don't have liao.
Spent a few minutes trying to understand and install the free eSIM I got from Pelago (2GB for 3 days, which is more than enough for me) before finally going over to the screening. We got stuck behind this group of people who seem to be unaware of the LAG rules or what, and I can see the fler keep pulling full bottles of liquid out of their bags...
Wasn't waiting long before they commenced boarding. A bit the potong stim when the flight captain announced that it was gonna be a 50 minute flight, but fine by me cos I got the window seat, and I won't be the only pax catching Zzzs.
All in all, the flight was okay, still alive. Made it to T4.
The only snag is what to do with the extra time cos it was too early for anything...
