I’ve traveled this route both in premium economy and business class. Both were amazing. Thankfully my business class was from Singapore to JFK, the Silverkris lounge was absolutely amazing. Had it been from JFK the lounge would have been very disappointing
I’m sure that lounge is amazing. I was happy for the centurion lounge being in JFK but would love to enjoy Singapore’s lounge.
So Excited , Thank you for the video. I'm taking that flight in August, and I have a Premium Economy Solo Seat.
That’s exciting. I’m a little jealous. lol. I was trying hard to get a solo seat in premium economy.
I am flying this route in February 2024 on business class, look forward to flying Singapore Airlines, been flying with them few times, never disappoint!
That sounds great. Safe travels!
I've flown that route in both business and premium economy several times. The worst part is not the long flight, but JFK. Compared to Changi, it is, honestly, a real dump.
JFK isn’t even in the same league as Changi. I couldn’t agree more to what you said
Well Changi is literally the greatest airport in the world, so 98% of other airports will also be dumps 😂
Changi is literally top 3 in the world, so in comparison, every airport would be worse.
People who haven't flown through JFK can like this comment, but it's only until you experience the craptasticness of JFK first-hand that one can truly appreciate how accurate this comment is
😆 true that
My first flight on Singapore Airlines was in 1980 on a 747. Would love to take this flight. Great video!😎
I love the 747 and love hearing this. Also thank you for watching
I'm taking this flight from Newark to Singapore next month. Whew, this is a long flight. Thanks for letting me know what to expect. Great video,
You’re welcome. Enjoy the journey.
For those paying in $$ instead of points, this Flight (JFK to SIN) costs as low as $600 this winter. Roughly the same price as a transatlantic flight to Europe.
Correct!
LQQK at the prices now in 2024, $3k!
Great price. I flew premium economy JFK-SIN-DPS in 2022. I paid $2200 RT. I booked the tickets 6 months out. I learned then to book seats as soon as they release. I could have purchased biz class for $3600 had I purchased tickets as soon as they were released.
Damn Matt! That's one hell of a journey. Love your videos bro
Thanks Hawkins. It definitely was a journey.
8:42 - 8:52 WOW! That is a very long distance to travel. And 16:04 - 16:49 makes it seem even longer! 😳 Definitely can't wait to tackle this myself one day
It wasn’t so bad lol. However I enjoy long flights. However one day I look forward to business class in Singapore and hopefully more.
Great trip report. I definitely would love to fly on this flight one day. I recently flew on the Frankfurt to JFK route, and it was the best flight of my life. Singapore Airlines is incredible.
Thank you for watching and I couldn’t agree more about Singapore Airlines. They really are great. I can’t wait to try other classes.
I've never done the JFK or EWR departure, but I do know the A350-ULR experience from SFO and LAX, which ends up a couple of hours shorter. It never feels like you're on the plane as long as the clock says you are. The service, comfort, and food are routinely top-tier for Premium Economy travel in 2024. Looking forward to another go this fall.
Couldn’t agree more to this. Safe travels in the fall
I just stumbled upon your channel and i love everything about it.
Nice video indeed. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure and Thank you for the kind words and watching!
Great Review of Flight.
Perfect.
Thank you!
I took this flight in business last summer.👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Nice video and I appreciate how relatable you are 🙂!!
I’m happy you enjoyed it. Thank
You for watching.
The cheapest you can get onto premium economy might be $1010 with connection to SQ910 Singapore to Manila. For the original longest flight SQ21 it gets $863 as it's cheapest fare if the Final Destination was Manila Philippines. Because these two Singapore Airlines longest flights are timed to have a guaranteed connection with them within 2 hours of Landing in Singapore. Ahead of your plane was the A380 EY and EK back to the UAE. That used to be operated by Singapore Airlines to New York as the 8:30 p.m. departure to Singapore via Frankfurt. Also still guaranteed a connection to MNL on SQ910. At the same time you might have seen its competitor PR126 land here while SQ23 is about to take off.
Thank you for the info
Wouldn't survive that flight in coach middle seat, maybe aisle in coach but to be safe, I'd go premium economy.
Definitely lol
theres no economy in this route
I agree, no middle seat.
Doing this route in the opposite direction is on my bucket list. If I do premium economy, I'd get one of those solo seats.
I aimed for it but wasn’t available. I recommend it though if you’re not in business
December will be the 2nd time flying SIA prem. eco. but this time my son & I will both be in a solo seats😂
Can’t wait for our 3 wks vacation to the Philippines.
Booked our flts Feb. & now the tkts are so expensive for the same dates.
Have a great trip! Safe travels
@@mattsmoments2 thank you! Enjoy your weekend.
Great video 👍 Singapore is definitely on my travel list
Thank you! I hope you get out there! Amazing place
Good job mate👍 We have flown with Singapore Airlines several times. I liked everything very much. There are several trip reports on my channel, next time we chose Singapore Airlines again
I’ll give your channel a look. Thank you for watching.
Great Video. It would be too long for me in Premium economy. I will be in lie flat business if I had to take this long flight.
I definitely understand that
Very enjoyable! No, I wouldn’t be able to do it. My longest flight was 13 hours, and I felt that I’d reached my limit.
I get it that it’s not for everyone. 13hrs is still decent amount of time on a plane. I know most flights to Asia are close to that from the USA.
Very detailed video, love it!
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback
I have SFO to SIN in SQ premium economy coming up in a couple weeks. I was pleasantly surprised my flight was on the A350-900ULR. "Only" 17.5 hours. All the throne seats were booked so I got the exit row for unlimited leg room. I'm 6'5" and am seriously wondering what the cash upgrade to business will be.
It’s definitely worth asking what the price range would be. You being that tall might be worth it.
Wow this flight looks cool and comfortable.
I enjoyed it and I feel most would. Try for business though. I can’t wait for that one day
Matt, when filming in toilet always put the toilet seat down when filming 😂😂😂
It was good to see what Premium Economy was like but for only an extra 30,000 points I would go business every time, absolutely no comparison. 80,000 for PE is not worth it.
I would have but didn’t fully have it. The only second thought I had was if I should have just paid cash for the seat. PE was fine I enjoyed it. I plan to showcase most airlines’ different cabins as time goes along.
Thank you for watching.
For a return long haul flight from Australia to Germany or England is anywhere from 120,000 - 250,000 points. Multiply that by a family of 4, Premium Economy will do us just nicely seeing as over 1 million points is an something we can never achieve and still have to pay a LOT of money + points. PE is a luxury for us we will likely only be able to afford once in our lifetime.
@@eviek3809 For flying cheaply with a family, I would not choose a non-stop super long flight in coach or even PE. Probably not even a direct flight with an hour stop. I'd go with a 2 or 3 hour connection, or even an overnight connection with hotel, to break it up and regroup.
The longest flight I took my kids on was 11 hours London to Cape Town, to avoid a longer flight USA to Cape Town. A night in a hotel by Heathrow in each direction made it much easier.
Alone, I flew direct London-Singapore-Brisbane, which was 14 hours, 1 hour on the ground, then 7 hours, so 22 hours on the airplane except for a leg stretch in the Singapore terminal. Then I hit a lounge in Brisbane and caught a flight to Townsville. Long day.
On the way back, I stayed on the plane in Singapore, because of the amount of hassle there was re-boarding without carry on luggage in Singapore. They said it was fine to get off the plane, but the gate agents and airport security didn't get that memo. They acted like I was trying to exchange places with a terrorist or something.
How long before your flight were you able to check in? Doing this flight next week
They allowed me 4hrs early to drop my bag.
Ok great…thanks
Im flying the end of Oct and have been concerned about the comfort in PE. I booked the emergency exit two seats because im claustrophobic. Thanks for your video, great job. One question, how were the restrooms mid flight to the end? I hate nasty bathrooms. Lol
The crew did a great job keeping the bathrooms fairly clean
thanks
My pleasure. Thank you for watching
Hey bruh, how much do you rate this ULH Marathon in Premium Economy on a scale of 1 to 10?
Easily an 8 or 8.5. I’ve been on some less than comfy 16hr flights before. I know this is two hours longer but in premium economy was a solid 2nd place to the business class
You can keep headphones or earpeices. If they state so. Economy earpeices can be kept depending on whag SIA gives you. Oh yeah its not chang-ee its actually Chan- e
Thank you
I've managed the only slightly shorter SFO / SIN on the same aircraft. Could not agree more in terms of the quality of the Singapore Airlines product. Thank you for the video.
Happy to help. Thank you for your support and watching.
Did your aircraft have the solo seats in PE?
Yes in the very back and they get claimed quickly when people book their tickets
@@mattsmoments2
Thanks! I’m going to look into the SFO route.
@@alyonapetrova694 Lots to love about the ULR version of the aircraft used for 1 of the two daily flights out of SFO. Not only the solo seats in the rear of Premium Economy, but given that there are only two classes of travel, the capacity maxes out at 171, so check-in and the waiting area are less congested and more relaxed. If you're going to be on a flight that long, it's a nice way to go.
Awesome Review what a epic journey! Come around late 2025 if Qantas’s ‘Project Sunrise’ goes to Plan you should be able to fly all the way direct some 19 hours on a A350-1000 from JFK to Sydney!
Sign me up for that 😂
I’m looking forward to that coming back
@@mattsmoments2 that’ll be epic !
Great video. I am taking this flight in 2 weeks. Can you tell me how many hours into the flight the second meal was?
If I remember correctly I want to say near the 12 hour mark I think.
Thank you and enjoy the journey
Great video! I wonder if this route is a smoother flight than SFO - SIN (also with Singapore Airlines)
I’m sure one day I’ll do that route. At least I know I’ll be flying over the pacific 😂
I prefer the SFO-SIN route. It's a bit shorter, and SFO is a slightly better airport than JFK.
Epic video 😊
Thank you! I appreciate that.
@@mattsmoments2 your welcome 🤗
18:20:47 last Thursday, wheels up/down.
Great vid. Just subscribed. 😊
Thank you for your support!
Great video. Very comprehensive. I have the same flight booked for June. Did you have the option to bid on a mySQupgrade and if so, did you try it? I’m curious to know what that process is about.
Does anyone know if I can upgrade to business just using points? And is it worth it? Does it matter if I paid cash for the ticket or not?
I don’t believe I was offered “mySQupgrade” that’s a good perk. If premium was fine I bet business was better in that route. So if you can I’d say go for it
If you use miles or pay the “Lite”Fare, I don’t think you’re eligible.
Typically with SQ you can't upgrade an award ticket. Although I've had an award economy ticket with them and at the 72 hrs prior to departure mark I was offered a cash upgrade to PE. If your ticket was purchased with cash, however, then yes you are eligible to upgrade to business using points. The caveat here is that you can't have purchased a "lite" fair as those are not eligible for upgrades.
As far as "is it worth it?" only you can answer that. If you buy into PE with cash then upgrade to business with points for say JFK--SIN using 94,000 miles at the "advantage" award rate....well what else can you do with 94,000 miles? If you have a better use for said miles use them elsewhere, if not then 94,000 is perhaps well spend being comfortable. The cash delta for PE to Business on that flight is usually substantial so it's often a solid point value.
Great review!!!❤❤
When was this recorded?
Thank you.
October 10th 2023
A non-overcrowded Centurion lounge? What sorcery is this?!
lol too funny. Yes it was a perfect vibe that evening. A lot of times the later in the evening is best
@@mattsmoments2 Just got to The landing portion of the video. Definitely subscribed to your channel. I would love to be a flight vlogger but have no idea how to edit video. You are one of only two flight reviewers that actually shows how much the premium economy seat reclines. It's such an important detail, especially on this long of a flight, so thank you so much for that!! With my spine being fused, I don't think I could handle doing this in anything but business or first, but if I tried to get across the pond from USA Central Time, I could probably handle 9 hours in the premium economy seat.
@solsticebaby I’m sorry to hear about the spine. I can’t imagine the discomfort you might deal with while flying.
Your hats on back to front and it pronounced root not ruuut
Cool story
I am a bit scare to take this flight becaue of the flight hours so I booked Vancouver to Singapre with AC instead
No wrong there! I hope you enjoy the long journey. Safe travels.
Although I enjoyed your Blog very much, it’s a shame that the current flight routing is what it is due to Russian Airspace issues. But i thought this was down to the Airlines discretion? That routing though, looked very circuitous …what a shame.
So I do know also that the route can vary based on the winds. Sometimes this route has flown west over Canada and Alaska and down or it goes eastbound over Europe and Middle East.
@@mattsmoments2 Yes, so I understand. USA via Alaska and down.
Hi Matt, I enjoyed your flight video very much and great you enjoyed the world's the longest flight...
Thank you
@@mattsmoments2 Looking forward to see more videos of you travelled on Singapore Airlines
Do you wear your jeans back to front I suppose if you did people wouldn't know if you're coming or going
👍
No air vents?!?!
A lot of wide bodies are sometimes configured without personal air vents
Ignore the ignorant comments of snotty people who have nothing but negative things to say! My Mother always said if you have nothing nice to say keep your mouth shut!
True words spoken there. However, I ignore the haters.
Having a middle seat in that flight would probably be better than having to look at those annoying Yankees pictures in the airport lounge
Too funny! 😂 being an orioles fan you know I agree.
Sorry guys. As an old Yankees fan, you just ruined it for me. I’ll pass on the video. Can’t people just be nice?
I’m sorry. Coming from one the meanest fan bases? I hope you’re joking. I have received the most nonsense from yankee fans. Y’all are the ones that need to be nicer.
No, not joking at all. My family and I are always welcoming to opposing fans. We’ve even been to Camden Yards and cheered the Orioles. So don’t paint us with the whole brush. But honestly, you should’ve deleted the idiot that made such a snotty remark on a travel channel. And furthermore, you have thousands of subscribers - why would you give a shit what I think?
Sorry for your misery @wotan10950 but as a lifelong “old” Yankees fan myself I think it’s fun hearing playful banter from other teams fans. I think these are the absolute best part sof the videos, the comments, because it’s cute that other teams hate us cuz they ain’t us…that being said we had a horrible season but it’s over now so it should just be all love, peace, and chicken grease to all baseball mankind. This coming from the biggest Yankees fan in the heart of Red Sux territory. Which should make YOU my #1 fan ❤❤❤❤
And John….im ok with that because I’ll be sitting next to you in the other seat pointing out all the fun Yankees knowledge I can share with you THE WHOLE RIDE 😬
I don't understand why anyone would want to endure this.
It’s amazing!! If I could fly around the world without landing I would.
To get to places like Indonesia for epic scuba diving with fewer flights - I did it last year in business class, but premium economy doe not look that bad if on the side and traveling with someone - middle seats would be tougher!
Why on earth are you wearing your hat back to front is it because you think it makes you look cool
1
Do you wear your jeans back to front
If you do i bet people don't know if you're coming or going
Oh darn! Another commenter that doesn’t like a backwards hat. Trust me there’s plenty awesome creators that wear them. Sorry it bothers you. I bet we could find issues with you. Thank you for watching. Cheers!
I was having a bit of banter
Unfortunately no way of telling through text.
It’s all good
mind your own asshole.
no body ask for your opinion on hat and definitely you wasting your time telling stupid things about how others live their life.
you better thinking about what you eat or how you start mind your own assholes and what comes out of it or enters it.
at the end, no body give a shit about what you have in mind.
Respect the plane. No one's impressed that you're dressed like you're going to a softball game!!
Sorry to say there’s no rules to flying. No dress codes. I’ll wear shorts for you next time.
are you joking? 😂
Do as you do and I’ll do as I do. Safe travels.
Guys it's not that serious!! Plane lovers understand.
Weirdo 😂. Great video @mattsmoments2
I’m going on that flight in June
I love hearing it. Safe travels and enjoy the journey
Thanks
please give us posted, how is it? I'm planning but still undecided, would like to hear about the flight
It went fine, I was asleep for most of it, it was pretty nice, food and service were good, entertainment could have been better though. I’m actually writing this in Thailand
The world's longest flight is both EWR and JFK. You flew out of the worse of the two brother😂
lol. They are both polished turds. However EWR I hear is far ahead with its rebuilds. I haven’t been through there in a bit
@mattsmoments2 hahaha, yeah man. Terminal A is OUTSTANDING...it's like 'welcome to the 21st century Newark, you're finally getting your shit together.' Terminal B unfortunately (which handles the flight to Singapore and all the other internationals) is still a hopelessly outdated, dreary, crappy experience. I never arrive early and just hang out there, I check in and head to the gate with less than an hour till departure. The payoff is when you get to Changi....world's best airport hands down.
