      I appreciate they are the only ones doing consistently high-quality economy reviews, but I personally don't think it's worth commending it like they are curing cancer. If others love to and want to share their high-end travel, that's fine, you don't have to discredit them for it cause they do a great job and work hard to maintain what they are doing. The only thing you could knock them for is clickbait overly dramatic content from time-to-time.

    I actually appreciate the security checks at the gate at Changi because that makes getting through immigration super fast and as long as one makes it to the gate on time, one is unlikely to miss the flight even if one has to queue a little at the gate. This system actually means more airport personnel is working on security checks as compared to those airports that only offer a common security queue.

    I am Singaporean and what's funny is that I always see foreigners, especially Westerners, fly Singapore Airlines and rave about every aspect and there's me going goes "uh, SQ again..." whenever I get the chance to travel. That's very much the avgeek in me, but I am proud to call SQ my home airline.

      Changi is one of the most confusing of the airports in terms of security check. There are 3 types for its 4 terminals:
      1. At-gate Security: All Terminal 1, 2 gates as well as some Terminal 3 gates. Personally my most favorite option as I can take my own sweet time until close to final call (the plane has to wait for you). Also, the queues are much less towards the tail end of the boarding call. The only other airport that I know which has this style is Kuala Lumpur main terminal (not the AirAsia one).
      2. Single security for selected gates: Some gates at Terminal 3 (late-A gates and some A and B gates towards the middle of the terminal) use such concept to save space for queueing or to lump flights with low loads at these gates.
      3. Single security for all gates: Most travelers are familiar with this concept as this is the norm all over, but it is my least favorite as I have to rush to the gate after a long security line. Changi, however has this only at Terminal 4, which is why airside transfers from T4 to the other terminals require security clearance before taking the airside bus.

      Security clearance at the gate is much easier, as you are not waiting along with everyone else who are flying elsewhere to clear security and rush to your gates. Also, there is always somewho is running late, and is trying to beg other people let themto jump the queue...

They had to get technicians to come and open the doors. On top of that. The entertainment screens stopped intermittently during the flight. Sure it’s a one off case probably. But does Not leave a great impression.

    I flew the 78X to NRT and back last month, overall the product is very good but having 301 economy seats do slow down the meal service a bit and I do see the crew getting a bit overwhelmed when there’s an influx of passenger requests. Also another thing I observed is that SQ serve only one main meal while ANA on the same route serves one main meal and one pre-landing snack and drink.
    I do wish they provide premium economy on these planes since traveling couples will have a hard time trying to find the right seat in this cabin, they could either hope for an empty middle seat or try to book the rearmost seat but those seats are very often blocked.

    Flown on the business class on the newest A350 on Starlux and 787 on EVA few weeks ago, I will say 787 still better, the windows really make a huge difference; the inside of the 787 feels taller, could be the overhead bin design? on the A350 I kept bump my head into the bin 😅

    You should get a decibel-o-meter and take cabin volume readings in flight. This will vary greatly depending on seat location and aircraft type, but could be really useful information that almost nobody provides. The A380 is the quietest and most comfortable aircraft I've ever flown, the A340 comes close. Boeings tend to be louder.

      Not the 737 max or 787 though, I have actually found them to be slightly quieter than their airbus counterparts, the a320neo and a350. Nothing beats upper deck of a380 though in terms of noise level and overall comfort but did not care for a340 the several times I flew on it.

    A perspective to consider:
    It is with great regret that the new recent in-flight SQ meal presentation in Economy class, which started during pandemic era, does not look appetising nor elegant anymore. While I could understand the need to reduce surface contact, cost-cutting measures, etc. during pandemic years, it is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated meal presentation towards pre-pandemic SQ standard.
    Previously, SQ meal presentation looks elegant, high-class, proper, well-thoughtful in every aspect so as to have a luxurious feel even on a short one-hour Jakarta-Singapore flight which compliments other aspect of world-class SQ label. For instance, in every Economy class pre-pandemic SQ meals consists of: proper metal cutleries set only, a refined white-colour plate for the main dish, a transparent classy glass cup, small cylindrical pre-packed mineral water or orange juice, additional coffee/tea offering by stewardess in a proper transparent cup as well as rounded bread offering, basic seasoning: salt pepper butter, two finest white-colour square plates for the side dishes with transparent lid showcasing their contents: chocolate cake / desserts / green salad/ two or three types of colourful fruits. All of these are placed against darker-colour tray, enhancing its colour contrast. Exquisite indeed!
    However, nowadays as also shown in the flight review above, for Economy class in-flight meal, cheap-looking brown takeaway cardboard box is used instead. No more metal cutleries in some flights route. To a certain extent, that is not how it supposed to look for five-star airlines. In addition, many components are removed and black-coloured thin cheap-looking plastic plate is used for the main dish instead. A comparison of current SQ in-flight meal presentation with pre-pandemic Economy class of other five-star airlines competitors such as Emirates reveals how disappointing and dissatisfying it is.
    It is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated Economy class meal presentation again once pandemic impacts becoming more manageable in a foreseable future.

    5:42 just an observation. Most Asian passengers do not like cold air blasting on their face hence part of the reason why the individual air vents are not prioritised in SQ. I’m sure cost savings is the other factor.

    Personal air vents are a feature of the flight manufacturer and not the airline.

Wide body jets don't anymore feature those personal air vents.

    Good flights, but I agree with David that the breakfast provided on the first flight (Perth-Singapore) could have been a bit more substantial. I have heard from a good number of people that Singapore Airlines have cut back their catering to some extent. The breakfast flight I had from Nadi to Sydney (4 hour sector) earlier in the year on Fiji Airways was much more substantial than the offering on this SQ flight.

I hope they lift their game as the crews are still excellent but the product not what it was a few short years ago.

    I have flown Singapore Airlines on the PER-SIN on both the 787 and the A350. Unfortunately, I must say I prefer to fly the Qantas A330 on the route, simply due to the fact that I find the seats on the SQ 787 and A350 uncomfortably narrow. All other aspects of the flight are always amazing, but I really do value comfort over the five star service SQ provide.

    • @cjohnson8126
      @cjohnson8126 8 месяцев назад +2

      The Qantas a330 actually has the narrowest seats of those three planes having 17.2 inches of width with Singapore airlines having 17.3 inches for the 787 and 18 for the a350. The 2-4-2 of the a330 as opposed to the usual 3-3-3 or 3-4-3 for wide bodies can make it feel less cramped than it actually is though.

    • @anhminho6115
      @anhminho6115 6 месяцев назад

      That’s because when flying with QF, you are flying their A330s, which are configured in a 2-4-2 layout, so you will feel less cramped than B787s and A350s. Just wait till QF uses 787 for flights to SIN and I believe you’ll change your mind

    Hello. Amazing meal service. I spent the same amount of time on a United Airlines flight between San Juan Puerto Rico (SJU) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and the only "free" meal service was a round of beverages and some snacks (you had to pay for the snacks) and the time I flew was around 13h30 (supposed to be Lunch time). Abysmal, a very poor product offered by United.
    Unbelievable how the Kris bird logo is still innovative and a truly timeless company brand identity.
