DAy 1: Friday 5th April 2013

Having travelled from all corners of the UK (Newcastle, Manchester, London and Nottingham) we all met in the lounge and got to know each other before boarding the 13hr flight to Changi Airport, Singapore. We were fortunate that there were some empty seats on the flight so we could spread out. We enjoyed various films on the outbound flight - Les Miserables, The Impossible, Argo, Quartet, Skyfall to name but a few. A very uncomfortable flight characterised by turbulence throughout but we all managed a few hours sleep.
