jahur 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) I recall back then during the iPhone 6 release. Folks in singapore would buy promo scoot tickets and buy their phones in Changi airaide as it is cheaper than the retail outlets. However some abused the tax loophole and never board their checked in flights. Believe they got prosecuted and fined in court.

Yes, happened in Sept 2016. https://www.channelnewsasia.com/news/singapore/2-arrested-for-misusing-boarding-passes-to-purchase-iphone-7-7815040 "It is an offence under Singapore law if they misuse their boarding pass but has no intention to travel to next destination.

Lim Kar Yong 0 Report post Posted August 26, 2019 (edited) Immigration autogates are back online, klia is back to normal. I took a flight to PEN at 145pm today. But the flight display at A and B gates was still not functioning. There was a whiteboard at the end of the connecting pier, after the shops, before one turns to A or B gate showing all the boarding gates. At the individual gate, the monitor displaying departure flight was still not functioning. This will probably be the last fucntion to go back online I think.

You have not seen other countries national day event NOTAMs on airspace closure for this sort of celebrations. There will be disruptions whether you like it or not. Be patriotic.

I am just wondering - we know this is an annual affair that involves closure of airspace. Would it be too messy to include this in the flight planning - ie making adjustment to the flight schedule right from the beginning rather than retiming at last minute? Selamat menyambut hari kemerdekaan. I am flying home on this friday evening - not affected by the closure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Erm....most countries, at least those around this region, closed their main international airport for National Day celebration for aerial shows. It only happens once a year, just one morning. Not sure what is the big deal. Plus, they only closed it for 1.5 hours. If you are so concerned, why not fly out a day earlier or later? Better yet, be smart, don't book any flight near to National Day. And don't pack your schedule for the day so tight that it doesn't give an allowance for 1.5 hours delay. Zzzzz.....

flee 5 Report post Posted August 28, 2019 I make it a point not to travel during this period (usually the week before 31 Aug) as I know that neither our airport nor airlines can cope with the disruption in airspace. However, I was once caught out by the Indonesian national day - our flight arrived in Jogjakarta on time but could not land due to their air force rehearsal for their national day. So we flew the holding pattern about 5 or 6 times (about 30 mins) before we landed. I got to know the scenery below us very well! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The fighter jet is "u have I have" kind of thing if u ask me as almost all other countries flew their fighter jets during parade. In France they can fly the Airbus, maybe we can fly our flying car soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
