My trip to Singapore

"Good Afternoon ladies and Gentlemen the Kingfisher flight IT3623 from Pune to Chennai has been delayed for 1hr 45Min's and will now depart at 19:20", the words that are still ringing in my head after the horrendous journey last night. This was my 3rd trip to Singapore and before this I had stuck with the old and faithful Air India which I generally board from Mumbai, But this time I decided to fly Kingfisher and Tiger on my way back to Singapore. According to my premonitions, this flight combination would save me a lot of money and would be really comfortable since I would not have to spend 3-4 gruelling hours in a cab from Pune to Mumbai. But sadly I was put through more torture than the 4hr cab journey. The time gap between my Kingfisher flight and Tiger airways flight to Singapore was 3hrs 30Min's. This time lag is sufficient to check out of the domestic terminal and check into the international which is a mere 200 Mt's away. But due to the mismanaged Kingfisher airlines which self proclaims itself to be India's 1st 5 star airline I manged to land on Chennai Airport by 21:15. Throughout the flight the only thought on my mind was to make a dash for the international terminal and somehow make it to the flight to Singapore. After pushing through a huge crowd of commuters I managed to reach the luggage check-out by 21:20. Since I still had not run out of my Bad Luck my baggage was the last one to be to be dispatched, even though my bag had a priority label put by the Kingfisher officials at the Pune Airport. It was nearly 22:05 that I reached the International terminal. After a few requests to the officials at the check-in counter they managed to put me up first at the immigration check, which could have easily taken me an hr and I would have surely missed my flight which was schedule at 23:00. After a quick immigration check and spending around 10 Min's at the security check I finally boarded the flight at around 22:50. In the end, all is well that ends well. Finally I'm in Singapore because of some really considerate officials at the Chennai Airport who were angels in disguise for me on the dreadful night that Kingfisher airlines decided to screw me....
