The hotel dropped us off at the international airport after stopping at a bank machine (a Citibank! We needed cash to pay for the hotel stay and were worried because we've had issues with all our debit and credit cards - sometimes the machine couldn't use the HSBC network, sometimes our cards were frozen because we'd been using them in India and to book expensive things for Australia, and that all seemed a bit sketchy to HSBC.)
The first leg of our flight was Qantas (Mumbai to Singapore) which was quite nice and comfortable. I started a couple of movies but fell asleep halfway through each of them.
We had a two hour layover in Singapore and were quite hungry but couldn't find any vegetarian food without leaving security. We had to go through an additional security gate before boarding the plane, so we lost all our bottles of water. Poor setup.
The second flight was Jet Star to Darwin. TI was a budget airline but some of us got blankets and pillows (I think it was the people who booked through Qantas). The food took 2 hours to get to us, of a 4.5 hour flight - we were among the last to be served. When I asked for vegetarian she thought they were out, but luckily they found one more for me. The guy behind me wasn't so lucky.
