Flight to Jakarta
16 05 2008So, my flight was delayed (re-timed to put in their official terms) to 11PM. Thankfully, no further delay to the flight. Flying alone is easy, but flying with my sister with two babies, 11 bags and boxes to watch out for, totaling 66kg is another matter altogether.
However, bringing babies to flights means special VIP service. After we checked in at the counter at Changi Airport Terminal 1, we were escorted to the crew lane at the immigration counter, bypassing at least a dozen people queuing at the usual lines. We were given front-most seats, 1A, 1B, and 1C. Get any more forward, you need to sit with the pilots already :P.
One and half hour later, we arrived at Jakarta. Carrying out from the aircraft a 15-kg toddler on your right hand with backpack on your back, and your left hand carrying another 10-kg suitcase, I think I get the preview on how it feels to be a father hahaha…. 
At Jakarta immigration, we were again approached by the officer-in-charge and was asked to the “special” lane again. No queue again, wonderful. Wish I could have that more often.
Soon after, we all reached home for a well-deserved rest. I woke up this morning, my left arm aching, probably due to bringing heavy stuff the night before. It’s a wonderful eye-opening experience traveling with babies nonetheless
