This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!
#singaporeairlines #economyclass #tripreport
welcome to the cabin of peasants. now this, is a proper review. honestly, many of us don't fly business at all so getting the review of economy class is much appreciated.
I try lol.
As an SQ regular, this is the economy seat with my favourite IFE they have, because of the tablet-style remote control. I appreciate having a secondary screen to view flight info off. It’s available on all their 777-300ERs and most long-haul A350s with economy. Also gotta shout out that landing footage, that -300ER wing view will never get old for me ❤. Noticed flaps full came in a bit late, especially for that HND Rwy 22 approach.
Yah the landing was actually quite a bit more turbulent than comes off on camera! Thanks for watching 🩴
yeah.. the 2017 economy product is far less superior as compared to this imo....
both legroom and seat design/comfort on them are far below the 2013 ones, wondering why they had to even change from such a good and comfortable seat to a terrible one. oh yeah the organisers are extremely weird too, especially the basket under the IFE is just weird
partly why i'm not a fan of the current ver. sq a380s
@@vin12504 I dislike their B787 economy class seats. The seats are too narrow and the cushion padding is very thin. I actually prefer their 2007 and 2013 economy product.
@@maradona1012yes horrible legroom and seat width too. even on their medium haul 359s but at least the seat width is better than that of their 78Xs
For the A380 I can't remember about legroom it's definitely the same poorly made economy seat. What a shame that they refitted all their active older 380s.
Oh yeah the part under the IFE what SQ refers to as a 'phone holder'. what an absolute joke given that phones these days are bigger. even a 2014 iphone 6 plus can't fit there
Any idea why it’s removed?
From all of flight reports I’ve watched, yours are the best ever for me!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
To be honest instead of better than most I regard SQ as the best airline in the world for their consistency of their quality product! And their 777 has my favourite economy seat. If you do get an extra legroom seat you don’t get a footrest though, but still great legroom and personally I do find their standard seat to have a bit of legroom. Great video as always Kevin🎉!
I've never found a foot rest in Economy actually usable for me. They're not made for people over around 170cm lol
Seen your name before but never watched a video until now. Incredibly impressed at your detailed and informative approach to describing an event for you tube. Quite excellent!
Appreciate that!
As usual good video works and nice presentation. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Appreciate that!
Cool video as always Kevin
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Really love the new background music in your videos
Appreciate that!
Thanks for the info + video!
Thanks for watching 🩴
Hi! Kevin. Thank You for sharing this wonderful video. Cheers,🥂🎉🎊🎈
Thanks for watching 🩴
Welcome to Singapore.. 😊 hope that we nvr dissapoint u... 😊 Anyway, Love it when u layout all the info in the Airport & Runway too.. Keep on doing this Kevin! 💪🏼
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
excellent report, love your naration
Appreciate that!
Thanks for sharing. we were in the same flight in September last year. Dinner was a bit rushed as it was a red eye flight .Overall it was an enjoyable flight .That is the reason we will fly with Singapore Air again on our next trip to Viet Nam in December
Glad you enjoyed!
Hi, we always fly Singapore to the Philippines because when we change flights at Singapore Airport our gate is just round the corner.
Unlike Hong Kong you had to go upstairs so you have to go through security and passport checks when flying with Cathy Pacific.👍🏾
Thanks for sharing ✈️
From what I can see Kevin is that SQ🇸🇬 along with the other East Asian 5 star Skytrax carriers HU🇨🇳JL/NH🇯🇵 KE/OZ🇰🇷 and CX🇭🇰 are equal or exceed each others services. If you are able to compare SQ🇸🇬 B777-312/ER to a PR B777-3F6/ER then the SQ version wins in terms of seat quality and service. Looking forward to your NH video. 11:31 you over flew CRK and the New Manila Airport.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Another class act Kevin and appreciate you doing a report on a mid haul Y flight. I have only flown Y in SQ and just in the last couple of years as I am mostly a OW guy. They are perfectly fine but a fair bit overrated. Y food is below Middle East carriers, JAL or TK and leg room is so tight in the newer planes. I am also Star Alliance Gold and agree status lounge is perfectly fine. A big issue with Star Alliance in general is no free seat selection. I am spoiled as OWE.
I'd been Star for years prior to the channel starting- Imagine my shock when I got ST Elite Plus and started getting seat selection for free! haha. Didn't know the concept existed at the time. Going for OW Sapphire this year.
Yeah... that view. You still did well do get some nice shots though! On that note, this is one of the main reasons I am hesitant to book Premium Economy - so many airlines have their PE cabin smack bang on the wing. Anyway, thanks again for another great video!
Book SQ to JFK or EWR... all of that PE is definitely behind the wing haha.
@@tfft haha.. indeed, except that one! :D
Excellent review. I've taken several hundred SQ flights since I was 6 y/o and barring a few flights, I didn't truly appreciate how good I had it until my first trip to Europe last year as a 23 y/o.
Also I really hope you keep your channel the way it is. Most airplane review channels that get big tend to sell-out and become essentially advertising factories.
I appreciate the fact that you think I'm 'big' already 😅... SQ certainly is a special breed of airline.
I like The economy produkt. Great video ❤
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Great video as usual. But come on, its time we get a walkthrough of the "Jewel" at Changi from you! ;)
SQ seems fine as usual (although even they can have the occasional slip-ups, no airline is perfect after all, it's just that SQ has less mess up than most other airlines). About the IFE, I think CX offers more content than SQ, so in terms of movies, video games and other entertainment, CX trumps SQ. As for the econ meal, yeah I agree the tray and utensils could be better, but the actually food itself is not bad. In fact, I think SQ offers one of the best econ meals out there, taste and variety-wise. I'm also glad you landed on Haneda. Its a more scenic approach (not to mention more convenient for the passengers, being right next to urban areas), compared to Narita. It can be a pain to get from Narita to Tokyo if you factor in the traffic.
I'm filming a series soon which will focus on the airport as much as the flight- and for that, I'll be including the Jewel 😉
Perfectly acceptable 😊
Certainly is!
Great videi. Did you check in a bag. Were they steict with the checked bag and carry on weight. How was the customer service
Check-in baggage is always strict within 1kg, but absolutly not over 32kg. Carry on, I've never had SQ check the weight of before.
Thank you ✈️
Thanks for watching 🩴
Lovely
Thanks for watching 🩴
Hi there, any idea on the underseat storage dimensions? Was wondering if my 36L CabinZero will fit the underseat storage
Of that specific seat? No idea lol
Any chance we could get a review of AirAsiaX’s ‘business’ class ? Just tried it this January and it’s a fantastic no frills business class - you’re essentially just paying for the bed
It's coming 🤫
Always get the port side window seat if you're flying to Tokyo from the south. You'll get a glimpse of Mount Fuji if the weather cooperates.
I chose the sunrise and sky line 😉
Whats your opinion on Aman Hotels? Do you like their whole “luxurious minimalism” over some of the more artsy/colorful hotels?
Minimalism yes I love, but it needs to be up to date and pristine. I find many Aman properties to be pristine perhaps, but starting to look on the dated side of things- definitly not something I'd happily shell out $1500/night for.
Hello! Can you please recommend me the tripod and suction cup, that you are using, please. Would be very thankful! :)
Nice video by the way
Pretty sure I replied to this same question in another video some weeks ago...? As I said then, it is not one "thing"... I bought many different parts and pieced them together to create exactly the function that I needed for a phone.
@@tfft yeah, i know, but do you still have the names of those pieces? Please
The suction cup is a GoPro mount, the part physically holding the phone is an Ulanzi clamp and all of the small parts in between are generic unbranded hinges and bits. If using the Ulanzi clamp make sure you use padded cushions otherwise you will scratch the window since the clamp is all metal.
@@tfft thank you!
QANTAS does the same with status flyers. With gold members ushered into the QF clubs, which is waaaaaaay sub par compared to their Business lounges.
Really? On their website it says QF Gold/OW Sapphire get Intl Business Lounge Access.
@@tfft ah yes, INTERNATIONAL there's no QFC. So all gets access into business lounge.
SQ is good 🎉
Thanks for watching 🩴
They really need to turn the cabin temp way down after meal services. I was sweating last flight and it was annoying to sleep even in the lie-flats because how hot it was.
I'd argue before meal services lol
DXB to CAI on EgyptAir in business 🎉
✅
Do you know this aircraft registration ?
It's always on the boarding pass graphic in the video.
I saw it at the end of the video 😆
You want business class service for cattle class prize. No way jose.
I’m curious which video you watched.
At least now they have free wifi that we can use in the future
Thanks for watching 🩴
OMG its bad! SQ needs to pay you more! /s
What now?
online '/s' means sarcasm @@tfft
Ah, y'all must be on that fancy new internet 3.0 /dns
@@tfft just sarcasm about how its just 'above average'. That's feels like a fail for SQ.
wonder if this will be an unpopular opinion but i'd choose this over sq's a380 as the 2017 economy product is far less superior as compared to this imo.
both legroom and seat design/comfort on them are far below the 2013 ones, wondering why they had to even change from such a good and comfortable seat to a terrible one. oh yeah the organisers are extremely weird too, especially the basket under the IFE is just weird
partly why i'm not a fan of the current ver. sq a380s alongside being a sucker for 77ws
I prefer the A380 in economy simply becuase of the curvature of the aircraft walls so it does feel a bit more spacious for people with broad shoulders.
@@tfft hmmm for the window seats yes. but if that's your point might as well fly EK 😂 their A380 economy seats are superb 👍
Thank you for the review, already looking forward to your ANA review which has no less than 5🩴 in the must watch score! Hope you were able to film the Japanese ground crew bowing and waving the plane goodbye ☺️ For me that already counts as 3 🩴
Well then in that case the ANA video is officially 🩴🩴🩴🩴🩴🩴🩴🩴 haha! Thanks as always for watching 🙏🏻
@@tfft 🤣🥳👋🏼
I love SQ, but I will say that EVERY flight I have been on the cabin has always been hot. Cant imagine how hot the SQ ladies must be.
Tbh, they're probably cold lol.
The fanning themselves is a horrible problem typical and unique to singapore airlines. They refuse to turn on the air conditioning during boarding and way into take off.
Tbh I fly SQ more than any other airline and I've never had the same problem previously. Thanks for watching 🩴
Their Y were never impressive for the premium they ask for. Just don't understand what's the hype of it.
Tbf I don't think I've ever heard any hype about their economy service lol
@@tfftfree wifi 🤔
As usual good video works and nice presentation. Thank you for taking us on your journey.
Appreciate that!
