I am sitting in Emergency Exit seat 13D, an aisle seat, on this Jetstar Asia Airbus A320 flight bound for Singapore.

When I did my online check-in I was unable to print out my boarding pass or see my seat number, but at the airport I asked the check-in guy if he could give me the closest available aisle seat to the front. Within one second he handed me this seat. At the time I didn’t realise it was an EE seat until boarding time came, and an announcement was made for rows 1, 12, and 13 to commence priority boarding. Lucky 😊!

The cabin is freezer-cold, so I am thankful it is a super quick, yet slightly bumpy 50 min flight. Besides the cold, I am comfortable – not only with the extra legroom, but also with an empty seat next to me.

I spend the short flight watching episode 11 of the Korean version of ‘Designated Survivor’.

We land 15 minutes ahead of schedule (somehow…).
