    My policy when airlines ask for volunteers is that unless I really nneed to get where I'm going, I'll offer to be bumped if they upgrade the ticket on the rerouted flight (eg if I was in Premium economy I'd be happy to wait for the next day/reroute if they upgrade it to business class). Wouldn't ever be interested in £200 for a rerouting like that though in the same class, especially since if they reroute me involuntarily they'll have to pay far more compensation anyway (£550 iirc), unless the reroute arrives within 2 hours of the originally booked flight, which it almost certainly won't.

    Good report,but all these trip reorts are trying to make a silk purse out of a sows ear,so to speak,modern day economy air travel is on a par with what was known as charter flying,where you were seated a in the maximum configuration just within the safety laws,nothing to do with your comfort,charter flights were about cheap,what you have now is economy fares ,for charter style travel.and i have done the singapore london trip many times with sia.and even with extra legroom seat,its verging on enbearable,nothing good to be said about air travel these days for economy fliers

    • @JTsJourneys
      @JTsJourneys 8 дней назад

      I’m just saying what I see really… premium is better than economy and exceeds what scheduled economy economy was back when charter flying came out in the 70s. I agree it’s all about how many you can pack in now. BA and virgin really do try to get as many in as possible. At least you get some amenities to help the time pass, Ife, WiFi etc unlike the likes of scoot etc. also agree that it’s bearable rather than enjoyable! Thanks for the comment :)

    Another superb and very comprehensive trip review. I particularly like your on screen graphics which really help to highlight the differences between premium economy and economy. The flight was all going well until the second meal service! Such a shame as in terms of quantity and presentation it was so poor compared to the first service. I wonder if this is the norm or was the incorrect catering loaded at Shanghai and the crew tried to cover it up? Finally, i'm surprised you never read the inflight magazine. As an avgeek I love looking at the route maps and information about the fleet. There are often interesting articles written by flight crew too.

      I've flown their 737-800 and they're 787-10 now. Keen to try and get a flight on their A350 between Barcelona and Milan maybe later this year. (and eventually their long haul product)

    thanks - the only surprise was you were switching to BA in Singapore! can only think it must have been for points or price?

    • @JTsJourneys
      @JTsJourneys Месяц назад

      So we had a return flight on BA booked LHR-SIN-LHR with a companion voucher and then booked separate flights to Bali and back. Flying in the school holidays this was the most cost effective way to get there vs a connected itinerary on SQ or another airline. Thankfully the interline agreement means SQ could check our bags through

    I would definitely choose Singapore Airlines over Air Asia. It's incredible what they offer in terms of service, comfort and amenities on a short flight in economy class. This is what flying shorthaul in Europe used to be like before lowcost airlines and I wish flying shorthaul economy within Europe could be like this once again. Thanks for posting this video.

      100% I flew into Bali on Air Asia and its night and day (as you'd expect). Singapore Airlines are just so far ahead of what they need to offer on this route

    I flew to Bali from Singapore in 2019 and stayed for 5 days, I went to the Incredible GWK Cultural Park for a visit, but it was not quite finished, having said that it was massive and you can clearly see it from the Airport..

      Thanks ! No, no problems there. The loo door opens near where the aircraft door is rather than into the cabin aisle so any queues tended to form in that area into the galley

    Did your plane have Bluetooth headphone option? A lot of United domestic flights do this now, but wondering if this international one had it. Thanks

      Hello! No this wasn’t an option :( as far as I know it’s only on their 737max aircraft and refurbished a32x planes

    Thanks for the vid. We got a Lloyds Bank credit card and got set up for the main cardholder. But not sure how to register the secondary cardholder for the pass. Do they receive a separate letter or email with login information?

    • @JTsJourneys
      @JTsJourneys Месяц назад

      I had this issue. Lloyds were useless. We had to just register the card as a new account on priority pass and that gave us the 2nd priority pass card holder

    The trouble is they may offer a great service onboard but twice one of my family found their flight had been cancelled, and had to hang around either Gatwick or Newquay waiting for the later flight.
