Getting into the seat of your first flight before a long trip halfway around the world is one of the best feelings in the world for me
I loved that you included all the planes taking off before your flight and their destinations. That was an interesting touch. It makes me want more. Thanks.
haven’t flew in a long time and the warm welcome home to citizens always make me so happy. flying SQ soon and can’t wait to hear the welcome announcement when i’m back
Nice job on locations after take off. I appreciate your video. Thanks
Thank you for sharing this video! I loved every scene in the flight! I was feeling the sense of being in that flight! :D😃
Great report, thank you for sharing! My wife and I are booked to fly aboard SQ21 Newark to Singapore. We're very excited first time flying with SQ. No solo seat for me but I do like that we can enjoy a row of 2 to ourselves. Great for the 18+ hour flight! ✈️
Again Excellent video with detailed information and video. Love to fly Singapore Airlines
Thanks for sharing. One of these days will afford to fly at the pointy end of the plane :) Keep on travelling and sharing.
good filming,i love the seats and a350
Lovely review. Just wish I had an idea of seat comfort and recline amount. Great job!
Great video! Thank you so much
I'm taking my first flight with SA at the end of September doing London Heathrow to Bangkok in Premium Economy, can't wait to see what they're like for myself, heard so many great reviews about SA.
Thanks you for your share 🎉🎉👍👍💚💚!!!
SQ has presented a nice premium economy product with most of the key items all ticked off for those that wants a bit more than economy but not spending the excess for business class. thanks for sharing the video.
Thank you for such a nice detailed review! I’m flying from JFK to Singapore then onto Bali in August. I have chosen the solo seat based off your review! I’m so excited for this trip
Let us know how it goes? I'm looking at booking it for a December trip
Ooh I'm considering this exact flight. How was your experience?
Thank you for the post
I love the detail of your review. You did a great job. When you were waiting to take off at JFK , how did you know where all the other planes were taking off to? You know your stuff.
Flightradar24!!!
Nice flight report.
I flew Singapore Air Lax to Singapore last month and that was a long flight also!!
Amazing review as always, The Airliner! Thanks for reviewing SQ, especially as borders reopen today!
Thank you! And yes - very excited about this; I've really missed the ability to travel and I look forward to doing more travel soon, although the region is still somewhat shuttered unfortunately. I am going to the Philippines in a few weeks though, and can't wait!
Super video! 👍
Would love to see a comparison video of premium economy from multiple long haul airlines.
Nicely done, appreciate the time you put into this. I will be flying SIN-EWR in November, and have seat 40C (opposite side, but same seating) 😁
Thanks - and have a great flight! I have no doubt it will be wonderful on SQ;)
Hey Eric, I am flying the same airline Singapore to Newark on 42 C. Just curious how as you’re overall experience. How was the view on your side. Thanks
@@shrutijoshi4444 I am still about 4 months out from my flight, first week of November, I will let you know how it goes then.
Nice report
Great video! Is there overhead storage space or just the side compartment?
Great report and this service type is also available from EWR as SQ21 for your Filipino transit passengers this is booked as a combined SQ23 to SQ910/912 ticket CEB ticket SQ23 to SQ900. The EWR one is booked as a combined ticket with SQ918 to MNL. Return trip from MNL/CEB this is booked as SQ915 to SQ24 JFK while SQ22 SIN-EWR is timed from SQ919/921 MNL CEB SQ901
Wow 17 hours!! . My brain and muscles numb just imagining it. That premium seats must be worth every minutes. Anyway, Like the idea of having premium seats at the back rows for "safety" in unfortunate events. Thx for infos . I miss singapore. 😢
It's not that bad honestly! I've certainly had other flights that *felt* much longer lol
I've done 12 to 14 hours in a tube. That's more than enough. There's no way I'd do over 17!
Impress with how you know the planes type, the destinations they are taking off to, the take-off run ways etc 👍
it's printed on the ticket. duh!
@@praystation no it isn’t lmao. the plane is assigned a takeoff runway before taxi and the other plane info is 100% not on the ticket. you’re completely wrong.
My seat was 41C on SQ21 (EWR-SIN) 3 years ago (A350-900ULR), then I took 10A seat at the same flight as yours 2 months ago (SQ23). Both were my fun experience. I will fly with SQ again ;)
Hey, how was the view on your side of the seat 41 C ( EWR - SIN), I am flying the same airline in august would really appreciate if you could give some insight. Thanks
@@shrutijoshi4444 it is a excellent seat for me, which is slightly more room than others so you can stretch your both legs as it’s considered aisle seat. You have extra storage room on the side so you don’t have to stand up and dig all personal stuff from overhead storage. You might see more crowded from traffic to the bathroom as it’s in the back of plane. But you can reach out the crew easier if you need anything.
Thank you so much 😊
@@shrutijoshi4444 anytime ;) enjoy the trip.
I know you posted this a while ago, but how was seat 10A on SQ23? I was told it has more leg room because its at the front. Did you find that to be true and also was it noisy sitting next to the front galley?
Beautiful Singapore and Changi Airport. Went for the first time in 1982 and was blown away by how great the airport was (though as an Australian it was a shock to see soldiers wandering around with what looked like sub machine guns). Arriving back into Australia, Sydney and Tullamarine airports looked so depressing and dingy.
Yeah, pretty much any airport is inferior to Changi - although I actually thought Sydney Airport was rather nice last time I was there (It was only a brief visit though)
So the best feature you’re showcasing is the unlimited storage compartment? For stuff you have to carry on and off the plane 😂 !!!
I've flown that one a couple times including also in January 2022 and I have found the 18 hours actually aren't that bad. I've always said that anything after six hours is a blur anyway. And the direct flight is better than the SQ 25/26 route via FRA and saves at least two hours. I've done the JFK-FRA-SIN route on their A380 and B747 and the direct route if far better. And we too had those pancakes and they were nasty pieces of cardboard! SQ's service and quality have been reduced dramatically using covid as an excuse and we customers must demand better. Regarding the solo seat, yes it is nice to have the extra storage but being in the rear, where the only toilets and the only galley are for that cabin, you will experience a LOT of traffic with people forward of you making their way to and from the back. I would never choose those seats in the rear as you will constantly be bumped and your shoulder used for support by the continual line of traffic to and from the crappers. Sit closer to the front for far fewer violations of your space and your body.
I do a lot of international flights for work and I no longer like direct flights especially this long. It was OK when I was younger, but nowdays, I don't mind a stop half-way at the hub city, so I can walk around. I think once a while, this kind of flights are OK, but for frequent long hauler, a break in between is much needed.
How was the JFK-FRA-SIN A380 flight? Did you fly business or premium economy? How was the food? I have heard that meal catering on planes leaving from NYC are substandard compared to other city departures. I am flying the A380 flight and curious if you have any tips. Thanks
@@jk1776yt I last flew the 380 JFK-FRA-SIN about five years ago in economy and it was adequate. Quality and service on SQ are always good and are far above US based carriers. The food was adequate for economy and I see little difference in quality when originating from JFK. I flew the JFK-SIN route just this week in PE and the food was acceptable, even the pancakes. You should see little difference in food and service on the FRA route but plan on at least two hours added to your trip for the stopover.
thank you for sharing this flight with us. Will be flying SQ in premium economy CDG Sin soon so how is the recline compared to economy, in your opinion?
Good review but could you enlarge subtitles a little and slow them down a little too as I'm visually impaired I miss parts.
Go do a vlog on the newly launched Emirates premium econ
I’ve been on the premium economy.. when it first introduced.. I like to try business class but am not sure if it’s worth the price .. debating on it..
I flew this flight end december 2022. The meal service was slightly different. Breakfast was served 10 hrs into the flight instead followed by pizza before landing. The menu was the exact same too. I opted for the three-cup baked chicken which was great and the pancakes as well. Hated the compote, would've liked more custard but it was edible I guess, not the best.
The food on SQ is mostly rather good - and the pancakes were close to being good - just need to fix the compote. I just checked and it does look like the menu is now different for this flight (April 2022), so at least they change up the options some - though it looks like the pancakes are still one thing on offer lol.
SQ do serve metal cutlery in economy class too🤗
They do! One of the best things about them; and I wish more airlines did this - it's a small touch that really helps elevate the experience.
Detail video on your flight. Good effort to record and describe the journey. How was the seat? Can it decline 180deg to sleep?
No, it doesn't recline to 180. Just a normal recline....back enough to get moderately comfortable but you're still sitting up to sleep.
One of my favorite things to do for my family is make homemade pancakes. I've tried different ways of preserving them but they all taste bad after reheating them. I can only imagine the taste you had to experience 🥴 Best way to experience pancakes are right when they come off the grill😍
Pancakes can be really good - in fact I have actually had good ones on planes before! These just missed the mark unfortunately.
@@TheAirliner The least they could do is provide real maple syrup. The only way to eat pancakes in my clan.
Well made video, yet I didn't catch any mention of the highest priority for me: seat comfort. Especially when trying to sleep. I caught the 38" legroom, that's nice. I'm 6'1" about 230 lbs and have made several trips from JFK to Taipei over the past 20 years. It's about 16 hours on Eva Air. I fly Premium Economy on their 777-300 which is adequate. But I always feel like I'm sitting in a sack, or a small hammock after a time and trying to sleep is a struggle. Never seems to be much for back/lumbar support.
was it difficult to lean over the storage bin to see out the window though? (I love looking out the window as much as I can)
Same here on looking out the window! I would say it depends; you have to stretch a bit but can pretty clearly see outside even seated (although holding a camera was another affair lol)
Five star coverage
Thanks!
Looks like a comfortable seat in the rear of the plane but it's an eyesore seeing the crowd of people seated in front of you and the constant flow of traffic passed your row to the washroom. Still makes the upgrade to Business Class worth it if you have the money or points.
100% Business is better - though I will say that the bathroom lines weren't too much of a bother for me for the most part. Not a very large cabin, thankfully.
whenever i go in asia countries since 1996 i always flight singapore airlines
Yes JFK airport is pretty dismal compared to Changi Airport , which is like stepping into a luxury hotel .
Thank you for your detailed video it really helped alot. Ive never been to Singapore and I live in NJ. I want to travel there sometime this year (whenever flights are the lowest and weather is at its best). But Question: are there any covid restrictions? vaccine is mandatory? do you have to take a test before and after getting to Singapore?
Thanks for watching! On travel to Singapore - these things are always changing, but you need *right now* proof of full vaccination (no booster requirement) and currently a test is required before departure, with either a PCR or Rapid Test within 2 days of departure. If you want more info, check out: www.gov.sg/article/facilitating-the-resumption-of-travel-using-the-vaccinated-travel-framework
@@TheAirliner oh I see. Non vaccinated are not allowed unless for a valid reason :(
As of April 26 onwards, no pre departure PCR test is require as long you have minimum 2 covid vaccine jabs and no quarantine. You still need to submit the health declaration form before your flight. Things in Singapore are pretty much back to normal and open to tourism. However, face mask is still a mandatory for all indoor venues including public transports. Outdoors is optional. F1 night race is back this September. For non vaccinated tourists, they can enter Singapore but will require 7 days quarantine.
I'm about to purchase the same flight for our upcoming flight. Flying with my wife and toddler, I'm torn between seating together in the middle seats or should I book 2 seats by the window so that my toddler have window seat?
I’m surprised they didn’t have cherry tomatoes still the bigger tomato because Qantas developed the small cherry tomatoes specially for planes
I like SQ, TG, and JL
I am not clear about the $140 that you paid at check in. What was it for? Thank you!
There is feet rest, is there a leg rest?
it's so difficult to get this seat. cause this reserves to PPS Club Member
There is no economy class on this plane?
We like Singapore Airlines A380, have flown it seven times (should have been eight but one was subbed for a B777-300 on one leg). He mentioned that it was great value for the price. That price was.....? What?
I don't have the exact price unfortunately, but I believe it was around US$800 ($1400 round trip), which is mostly in line with other options on this route, especially when time savings and product quality are taken into account
I recently booked this flight with a connection to BKK for August '22 for $1,069 round trip. The price was cheaper than most other options.
I am booking a NY-FRA-SIN flight in near future and the reason is specifically to fly the A380! (something to scratch off the list). Being subbed into a different planes would be a nightmare for me then. Since you have flown it many times do you have any tips or recommendations? Thanks
@@jk1776yt If you’re flying in Economy try to get on the upper deck, the the outer seats are in pairs, much like the A330 but and it’s a smaller cabin. Be sure to check which version of their A380 it is as they don’ all have that layout. If in Business, pretty much any window seat.
i cant get over all that leg room and extra space for bags etc in premium economy compared to economy. but... looks like there was NO alcohol served ?? strange, as even in economy theres usually a trolly come around
Hello my flight apr 30 Singapore airline im fully vaccinated do i prepared rt pcr
No PCR pre departure test requires as of 26 April onwards for vaccinated passengers (min 2 vaccines) but you do need to submit the health declaration form before the flight.
How far do the premium economy seats tilt?
same as your regular economy class seats
I'll be taking this flight again R/T this month. I can't say enough about the CABIN crew. But my last flight out of JFK, the check-in process was the worst I've ever experienced in 60 years of flying. And this wasn't just pressure from COVID or any external circumstances. After waiting in line for 3 full hours, I still had not been checked in. It was an absolute miracle I made the flight at all - the lead cabin person was literally begging TSA to try to get me through a line with hundreds of other passengers boarding other airlines. So, not ALL SIA's fault, but certainly that business at JFK, with 3 flights all checking in at the same time: disaster. Also - their customer service phone lines? Forget about it. Not going to happen. Their customer service "robot"? Even worse. So, basically, if you're very, very lucky, it turns into a nice fight. But if one single problem occurs before the flight - surrender all ye who enter here. You are doomed. Having said all that, i'll take a nice gift for the cabin crew on board next week. Maybe it will bring me luck.
Pork, pork and more f ing pork that's what they serve constantly on this airline after watching a few videos on this airline and what is always on offer. I regret booking my flight to Malaysia with Singapore Airline , premium economy as well in October . Just PIG on the menu. I will to need to buy a few nice baguette at Pret a Manger at terminal 2, Heathrow before boarding. Wish i watch these videos before booking.
Sorry if I’m being pedantic , but the Audio Jack goes into the Audio Port.. the Audio Jack is the ‘giver’ and the Audio Port is the ‘receiver’.. thanks 🙏
Ha! I may have edited this section very late at night lol - that makes total sense. I'll be sure to use the right term next time, thanks for the heads up.
My friend I am sorry for the following: start 1984 on Singapore Airlines, between S´pore-Hamburg, via Colombo, Karatschi, Dubei, and Rom, Zürich, Frankfurth. 800 to 1000DM(German Marks) one way Ticket, Betterklasse, mean near by the aft Toiletts, but SMOKING. Every 4 months one direction. Now i must change to German :
Eine verflucht gute Zeit, die Flüge nicht brechend voll, es gab Promotion Zigaretten, 4 Stck, zur Rollbahn hin schon Saunatuch, Erdnüsse und den ersten Drink in einem richtigen Glas, auch Besteck war aus Metall, Trinks jeder Sorte bis zu Abwinken.
Essen, sie wollen doch nicht diesen Fraß, der heute serviert wird, als Essen bezeichnen, auch nicht in der gehobenen Bretterklasse.
Übrigens habe ich mein Haus verklinkert und die Fugen mit Singapore Airlines Teelöffel verfugt und gerundet.
Schöne Episode, hatten einen schlechten Koch an Bord und erwischten den SQ Flug Singapore-Colombo-Karatschi-Dubai-Frankfurt. Nach jedem Start gab es ein Hauptgericht, das Frühstück vor Frankfurt, Rührei, Toast, gewärmte Brötchen, Joghourt, Obst, Käse, Wurst, Kaffe oder Tee. Satt und zufrieden den Flieger verlassen- ehhhhhhhhhhhh Ihr Fluggesellschaften, ihr stopft die Liner voll, das Essen würdet noch nicht einmal Ihr am Boden essen, schöne Grüße an Finnair .mit dem PappeEssen, ok ökologisch, aber geschmacklich pfui deibel.
Ok ich erinnere mich an einen LH Flug 1982 nach Miami, Business, Hauptgericht Königsberger Klopse.
Wir hatten damals geflügelte Worte;
Gutes Frühstück bei Sabena, beste Malzeiten bei Air France, sicher Fliegen, Stulle mitnahmen LH und TAP, take another pl....
Aber SQ Flüge war alles das o.g. Gute,
Fazit, Meine Flüge BKK-Ham sind vom geringeren Einkommen geprägt, dh. aber nicht,ihr könnt uns in der Bretterklasse mit Missachtung und schlechtem Essen/Service beglücken und die viel geschriebene sofortige Rückzahlung des Rückfluges bei Corona zieht sich jetzt schon 6 Monate hin.
Ok 2026 noch einmal Bkk-Ham und zurück, neuen Reisepass, denKindern/Enkeln Tschüss sagen, und dann beim letzten "Aufstieg" im Tempelschornstein noch einmal sagen, schön was es, bei euch SQ, DAMALS.
I find your commentary titles to not be on the screen long enough to read and digest.
I always find it a disappointment when there is no cheese and crackers with the main meal.
The words "premium & economy" do not sound right together, usually. Until,
US airports are GENERIC compared to a lot of overseas airports..lol
Best seat more money
Yes bro, we know JFK is a dump right now unfortunately. But looking at LGA now, there's hope its reno will be finished before the transporter beam is invented. But anyway, NYCs good side is never the airports. But great video, I'm hoping to take this flight soon to go to the Philippines.
Yeah - the new LGA looks great! Even JFK is actually improving some, but is still kinda a dump.
Sorry to say this, but your entire video, you never showed the seat and the recline. If it was convenient or not, no such information… I don’t know; many reviewers just show take off landing, food and that is it…
I agree completely
With the war in Ukraine and the blockage of a space of Russia and Ukraine how will this change the flight path and flight hours
This was filmed pre-invasion, but now, this flight takes an alternate route over southern Europe, Turkey, and Iran -- adding about an hour of flight time.
Love how Singapore simply eliminated monkey class on this ultra-long haul... presumably for the fear of people running amuck or getting ill. :-D
except that this premium monkey class is literally the exact same as the monkey class on any other airlines.
really looks nothing special. the only good part of this flight is that you got that extra space at the back (the flight probably only have 6 such seats). the rest is just regular economy class offering, the food is also terrible for such a long flight and definitely THE WORST premium economy class offering ever on any airline.
The kaput route nally present because duck understandably arrest save a illustrious crown. known, premium snowflake
I’d rather not fly if I have to eat those type of crap! 🤮 17hrs of pure miseries forget it!
