Seating Strategy

Before entering lala land, I decided to revisit the photo I took at the queue area as I thought that coming up with a "Seating Strategy" was quite an important task because of the following factors:


1. Waiting time (Arriving at T3 to Purchase of iPad 2) is estimated to be 12 hours.
2. Comfort at the sitting area should be top priority.
3. Mobility should not be compromised - walking in/out of queue area.


After discussing with my wife (as she had also visually picked out a good seating position when we were there), we finally decided that Seat 141 was the best amongst all because of the following reasons:




Escalator - Seat 141 is located just beside an escalator and it's just nice that the escalator's metallic supporting structure can act as a suitable backrest for me. +1.


A - Good space to place my rather big bag as it has 1 laptop, 1 netbook, 2 books, 1 notepad and a set of newspapers inside it. +1


B - This area is spacious and just perfect to stretch my legs if they are getting numb. Had the experience of going numb last time during secondary school assembly and it was really terrible! So this space is very crucial for me too! +1


C - It represents the movable barricade and shows the proximity for people to stand-in when the person queuing needs to go toilet. Also as it's near the barricade, mobility is convenient too. +1


D - Although these seats at this area is nearer to the payment counters, they are not conducive for me to queue for 12 hours because they are squeezy, restrictive and I would have serious difficult to move in and out of the rows of people. Not encourageable. -1


Some tips for those queuing for the other remaining offers!
