Today, we flew Jetstar Asia from Phuket to Singapore. We departed our hotel around 7:30. Check-in and clearing outbound immigration was relatively painless. Jetstar is a budget airline (a la Southwest and JetBlue) that’s a subsidiary of Qantas (like the old Delta “Song” and United “Ted” concepts). There was nothing remarkable about it other than […]
