6. Internet Check In<\/strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n

09 Dec 2009 – <\/span>CHECKED IN! Zoe told me that we can select our seats online once we have our booking reference number but was disappointed to know that we are not eligible to select our seats before the check in as the selection is only available to those who have bought their tickets online! Nevertheless, we had managed to select our seats and checked in via SIA Online Check In<\/a> which can only be done up to 48 hours before the flight.<\/p>\n

The flight to San Francisco is so FULL! There were only 5 – 6 seats available when we checked in.<\/p>\n
