Spain, Portugal & Gilbraltar Trip 2024 - Day 1 & Day 2 - Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Barcelona via Milan

Finally, the day is here, we got ready for our trip to Spain, Portugal and Gilbraltar for two weeks. Very stressful before our trip and sad news that Spain had a bad flood in Valencia two weeks before we supposed to fly and one week before we supposed to depart, Barcelona Airport was flooded. 

We were unsure if we could go ahead with our trip, luckily we bought travel insurance incase of any cancellation. We decided to go ahead with our trip after assurance from our travel agent although there were some fellow travellers decided to cancel their trip.

We were so lucky that during our two weeks there, there were not a single drop of rain but the weather in Spain and Portgual were very harsh for us from Singapore. Not used to their weather, many of fellow travellers fall sick. My sister and me fall sick after our return trip.

Checking in at Changi Airport for our long flight to Barcelona, Spain transit in Milan. It was about 13 hours flight from Singapore to Milan and transit in Milan for about one and half hour and the airport security came to check our passport and make sure the bags above us belongs to us and then the cleaners came to clean the plane while we were still in the plane, we were not allowed to leave the plane.

After one and half hour, we continue our journey to Barcelona for about another two hours. For this sector, lesser passengers and more empty seats, we went to sit in empty seats as our group of six can sit more comfortable.


The space infront is spacious but I am a short person, 1.56 m haha

The first meal was dinner, I believed I choose chicken and potato

My hubby choose noodles 

After meal, I just listened to some music and doze in and out. I am surprised I could take the long flight without any problems, no watching movies in the first 6 or 7 hours but it was after midnight Singapore time. Mid flight woke up and went to the toilet and raid the pantry hahaha.

The Singapore Airlines Crew were so friendly and taught me how to take nice photo of the snacks. Asking me to take some snacks along. As I was travelling in a group of 6, I asked if I could collect on behalf of them, one of them asked to take more snacks, even went to the cabinet and get more snacks for me hahaha. So nice of him. If I am not mistaken, his name is Ezwan (hope spelling correct), I did send a feedback compliment him. 

Frankly speaking, I always thought Singapore Airlines staff treat foreigners better than fellow singaporean passengers hahaha but this trip change my mind. He was nice and chat not only with me but other passengers too. He even offered to help my brother in law change his sim card although my brother in law managed to do it himself.

Now I am in better position to boast about Singapore Airlines Staff after this trip. It was nice to have this type of encounters and the snacks really help destress the long flight trip. After a long flight I landed in Spain without jet lag and continue my sightseeing hahahaha.

Thank You Ezwan of Singapore Airlines.

Oh the cranberries were so nice but there only 6 packets left and I took them all for my group hahaha.

The second meal was breakfast, hubby got omelette and I got mee hoon with chicken
