Gabriella's first visit to Korea ... count down 2 days

We pushed forward our plans to visit Korea in July (hottest period in Korea) instead of end Aug/Sept which we initially planned as I may start work again in August. We booked Singapore Airlines (SIA) during their promotion. However cheap tickets are at odd hours:

Departure SIN: 0800 --> Arrival ICN: 1535 (SQ600)

Departure ICN: 2320 --> Arrival SIN: 0440 (SQ603)

The total cost for 2 adults + 1 infant with bassinet seat is $1340 (inclusive of airport tax). Not bad for a family trip. I paid about $630 in cash and the remainder with 55,400 KrisFlyer miles.

First time flying with an infant may be challenging but the flight times are seemingly good timings as she is the most cranky around 8-9pm, right before she sleeps. I maybe the one cranky instead as we have to wake up really early to go to the airport.

Hand-carry Checklist for travelling with a 6 months old baby:
1. Diapers (Hand-carry at least 6 for a mid flight, just in case baby has diarrhea)
2. Baby change of clothes (One set for the adults too, just in case baby has diarrhea)
3. Bibs (my little girl drool a lot.)
4. Nursing cover/Blanket
5. Pacifier/Toys/Teether (to keep baby occupied)
6. Food (spoon) /Formula (bottles)
7. Baby wipes/nappy cream

Singapore Airlines (SIA) provides special meals for baby/infant/child:

1. Baby Meal (BBML) : Suitable for infants less than 1 year old, this meal consists of 3 jars of baby food - main course, vegetables and dessert. They also provided a teething biscuit. 
   
2. Post-weaning Meal (PWMLM) : Suitable for infants between 1 and 2 years old, this meal is more substantial than a Baby Meal. According to SIA website, the food items are easy to bite, chew and digest. So I ordered on flight take a look at what was given. There is boiled vegetables (require chewing), fish with cream sauce (require chewing), mashed potatoes (light salted), cut fruits, juice. I think this PWLM meal is definitely not for babies without teeth. Even though my baby girl has started eating puree, the only item that my baby girl may be able to take is the mashed potatoes. But it is slightly salted which I do not want to introduce to my baby girl yet. *Do not order PWMLM and request on BBML after getting on the flight as they do not have an additional set of BBML as spare. 
   
3. Child Meal for Infant (CHMLI) : Suitable for infants less than 2 years old, this meal is more substantial than a Post-Weaning Meal (PWMLM) or Baby Meal (BBML). Food items are easy to bite (soft) type of food items with lighter-based sauces. The following picture is from another blogger. 
   
4. Child Meal (CHML) : Suitable for children between 2 and 7 years old, this meal is less substantial than adult meal.Food items are easy to bite and chew, and are attractive to children. I got this picture from another blogger.

I decided to try BBML for the flight to ICN and PWMLM on the way back to SIN. The images are updated as above.
