T3 got movie screening. I cant remember t2 or t3 got gaming console

Sent from cloud using GAGT

I think T2 also has movie screening and it's quite hidden not many people know. But honestly, I kinda confused T1 has what and T2 has what, I don't even remember if I have been to T3 or not.

I think T1 has a gaming centre near the smoking room. Saw someone playing some soccer game there last time.

I like to go early early to explore cos sometimes there are hidden gems to be discovered. It is like treasure hunt, so fun.

have read online that ppl complain
their queue is forever so long ...
they reach at least 1 hr, however when it is their turn to take boarding pass, is already less than 1 hr... then they not given boarding pass ...

whaha i fear this the most. So kiasu does pays off. If I am taking airasia, i will use the check in kiosk since I am always backpacking.

so far i haven't seen such "deny boarding" problem unless you are the only one trying to get a boarding pass
the fact that the queue is long,the airline staff will understand
anyway most of these budget flight don't close gate as stated,even for normal airlines,sometimes they only start boarding at the stated 'gate close' timing
but to be safe definitely arrive earlier

normally would reach 2.5hrs or 3 hrs before departure timing
then would try to ask for emergency row lol
so far 50% of the times would get it ...
just ask nicely

however, is up to the staff wanna give u or not lol
if u buy seats already then too bad
they would say u already bought, so they cant change for u lol ...
encountered both situation before
last year flew taipei 5x, managed to get emergency row 4x for free
coz the flight is full , so everyone no pay emergeny row
so cfm would have ppl occupied since the flight is full haha

i googled, apparently can, but not sure for LCC. can also call the airline to split the reservations into separate itinerary.

can be done unless you bought a GV ticket where xx nbr of passengers have to travel together as part of the fare rules/conditions.
