9th -Tuesday started reasonably early as we needed to be at Coolangatta Airport at 7:00 to catch our 9:05 Scoot flight to Singapore. We managed to score an upgrade to business class, Scootbiz. Scoot set up their planes with a business class section, in our case 18 seats. If they dont sell them they offer them via auction as an upgrade to economy passengers. We bid the lowest possible and were lucky to secure 2 seats. The difference ended up being slightly less than 50% of a normal business class seat. The priority baggage, priority loading and unloading, priority check in along with much more room and meals was well worth the difference over the 8.5 hour flight. 

The flight was uneventful but more than long enough. Once in Singapore and through customs and immigration we hopped a cab to town. Cabs are cheap in Singapore, not much else is, and the journey set us back $20.00. The Robertson Quay Hotel is older but serviceable and met our needs. We had a flight early next morning so not much time to do much so we decided on a quick meal and then a nice river cruise. The meal at a locals eatery was highlighted when I ordered a bottle of Tiger beer. I was expecting a stubbie but ended up with a 650ml “tallie”. I had to finish it as it was a hot day and did not want to waste it.  The river cruise was great pointing out most of Singapore's signature sites.
