Mum and me went took flight to KL airport to meet Chong. We directly went to the baggage drop as we checked in our luggage online. The counter staff told us to apply for visa to Australia when we approached the counter. We were panic. We thought that Singapore passport could access all countries without visa. Thee counter staff did not help us at all. Lucky, now the handphone and ipad could access internet via wifi. Though connection was very slow but we managed to apply online. Visa cost us AUD 20.
We did not get to sit together, The online booking system actually split us though we check in together. They just wanted us to pay for our seat to be sat together. Even on the plane back without check in online, the counter staff actually followed the system.
I also felt that airaisa was terrible as their service was slow and we took long for our meals to arrive. Maybe next time we shall not book meals and we could sleep once onboard.
We were told not to carry any food onboard. We saw people carried potato chips on hand. Mum brought chicken essence but we were so honest to declare, even panadol we declared. Anyway, the staff let us proceed to first lane without scanning. Anyway, i got flu and cough and i did not declare.
Out of custom and we asked around and went to look for orange counter to buy go card, cost AUD25. It only valid to be used in Goldcoast only. We board bus 702, the driver told us that our apartment was near a big wheel, so we could alight once we saw it.
Reached and we walked to find the apartment, Anchordown Apartments
