I really like SIA online check in system. You can check in online within 48 hours from the departure date and print your own boarding pass. If you have baggage, you can deposit it at the check in counter. The one thing I like about it is you can pick your seats if the flight is not full. Last trip I chose a window seat with empty side seats. I can lie down and sleep on all 3 seats.
On the screen, you can see green for available seats, grey for occupied and blue, and your current seat assignment. If you want an aisle seat, it is best if you can tell the agent at the point of purchase. Most of the seats are pre-assigned. It is best to tell them the exact seat number if you know.
Don’t ever choose seats that is near the front row with basinet as you may hear baby crying if you are sensitive to sound. Don’t choose seats near the kitchen or toilet, again you will hear stewardess making noise preparing meals or strangers standing next to you while waiting for their turn to use the toilet.
If you pick seats at the back rows, you get to board first. If you pick seats near the front, you get to embark first. You can have both if you upgrade to business class or first class or if you travel enough, you get GOLD membership. With Gold membership, you can use the VIP lounges during transit. They served food & drinks too and you can use Internet for free.
There are places online where you can print different things like checks, labels, and even magnets. If you are looking to have a magnet printed like car magnets, look no further than VistaPrint.
i like the first row, because i have kids. LOL
but MAS no online check in, so i have to call them to reserve my seat when my ticket has confirmed.
It’s great to have online checkin. Save lots of time.
