Just looked at my stats, 75 SQ flights, 55 J and 20 F over 309K miles. 56 of those A380, and I have one to go which is 9VSKS. Best airline IMHO, very consistent. I prefer old business seats, unless you get front two bulkheads on new.
Did you ever do a vid of the SIA 777 flight to US? 7:04
You are one of the people who got me into aviation, and now I'm working on getting my private pilot's license. For that I can't thank you enough!
Great stuff! Good luck with the PPL 👍🏻
@@Paul_Lucas Thanks!

No surprises here. I worked for the Singaporean Air Force for 20 years and i was blown away by Changi Int'l and Singapore Air Lines. It's soooo easy to see why they're voted the best airport and airline virtually every year. The Singaporeans put a huge emphasis on high quality service. That's why their hotels are my all time favorites also.
here before something else gets stuck in the suez
🤭🤭🤭🤣🤣🤣 damn
LMAO...love this comment!
"the last time I was this early they needed to wage a war to actually block a suez canal"
Made you irregular, did it?
😄
I found you in September of last year and now I have a weird obsession with watching high class plane trips.
Just as some feedback mate, the little facts over your footage of the taxi out were great and kept me more engaged than usual, love your work fella!
Really liking the facts/info prior to the take off. It gives the audience something to watch rather than just b-roll and music so you're not inclined to skip over it
So glad to see a new video. One of my favorite channels on CZcams!
My first flight on SQ was from Manila to Singapore back in 1993. I was in economy, yet the flight attendant still greeted me at the door, showed me to my seat, and put my carryon into the overhead bin. I was floored by the level of service!
I discovered your channel last June when I had been diagnosed with Covid-19. My wife and I enjoyed your trip reports as they took our minds of our uncertain situation. We were ill for almost two weeks. Fortunately we did not have a case that required hospitalization. It was a strange time for us and your videos helped. thank you for doing what you do.
Hope you are both better now
Loved the facts about the airports etc while you was getting pushed back another great video worth the wait 👍🏼
Missed theses videos so much thanks Paul
Brilliant video as always! You definitely got yourself an amazing deal with the flights by starting in Delhi. Lovely Singapore Service & crew as you expect! ✈️
Good to see you again Paul. It was a fantastic flight again. Thanks for showing us.
I love the way you show the food and take your time showing us what you were served.I wish other vlog would learn from you.
Love your videos Paul! You always make me feel I’m flying with you!
So good to see another video Paul. Hope you're well.
Great video! SQ has never failed to impressed me with their efficiency on their overnight india-Singapore routes. I regularly fly the night BOM-SIN route which is just a hair shorter than the one you took from del and they are always done with meal service and everyone’s beds are made less than an hour into the flight. Great to see that consistency out of DEL as well.
Can’t wait to see your SQ12 videos, that’s always my personal favorite SQ route to fly :)
Another upload that hasn't failed to impress me. Fantastic content yet again, Paul. Roll on when we get back to some normality when you can start your adventure again and continue recording for our entertainment. Keep it up bud! 👍🏻
Love the pre-takeoff fact attack!
@Josh Draper - (Also) Love that you called it the “Fact Attack”!!!
A top review Paul, also impressed with your train travels, your relaxed style in telling a story is missing from so many other reviewersl. Thks and Cheers.
Great to see another video from you. Been missing your videos. Hope you’re surviving the pandemic.
Great video, thank you for spreading these out this last year. Hope you are keeping well and can get back to this very soon
Truly enjoyed this video. I like the bits of information you put in as the plane was taxiing to take off. Hello from the USA and I subscribed to the Surfshark.
Great to be back with you
Another great video. I so enjoy them. Always great to see the notification.
Changi airport landing was very nice, nostalgic. Looking forward to the 2nd leg of your flight. Thanks!
SQ A380 Reminds me of the time when me and my family travelled to Shanghai in Business class from Colombo for $1000 Round trip !!
Ah those were the good old days and this video is very nostalgic!!
Amazing review as always!!
Nicely done as always
Hi Paul and hello from the Czech Republic. You have probably the best channel for travel enthusiasts on the whole CZcams, keep up the good work! Damned pandemic stopped my own travels but I hope that this summer/autumn will see restart of both my business trips and private travel. In the meantime, I´ll be watching your great videos and waiting to be on the road again! Thank you for the great job!
Long-time subscriber Paul. Looking forward to the follow-up. All the best mate.
Howdy, amazing trip report as always Paul and wow, that looked awesome, especially considering that this is there old product! I can’t wait for the next video!😸
Amazing video love the way u explain things
last time I took a night flight, and possibly the last time I flew with Air Singapore, I drank myself to sleep and passed out on a row of 5 (the plane was almost empty, bar me and a South African dude who was my drinking buddy in the whole back cabin of the plane, while we just chatted with the lovely crew in the galley.) They really do let you sleep on there! I got a nudge a couple of minutes before landing, sat up, put my seat belt on, and we were in Sydney.
Great video Paul
Finally Paul, your video after a long time feels like vaccine
Thanks for the trip Paul
Paul your second name being Xavier is a whole other level of cool :) Amazing video as always!
I recently flew from Singapore to Bangkok,I was seated in the back section of the plane,two air hostesses gave the safety brief one could have sat it out as I was alone back there,it was funny but I couldn't have been happier with the flight,thankyou Singapore Airlines and scoot great job.
Welcome back! I (WE) have missed you! Love all your content so please, upload anything from all your trips you have taken...
trains, planes, ships, boats...👍👍👍
I can't express enough how much finding these videos has been a bright spot for me during the pandemic. Great video as always (and as someone who's taken a few redeyes from LA to New York, I feel your pain).
Thank you for the video. It certainly looked comfortable!
Excellent video Paul very informative, thank you....
After being in the travel business for many years, your videos bring back so many memories. We even had the chance to fly the Concorde from London to JFK, which was awesome. I look forward to the time when travel will be more normal. Thank you for your informative videos!
Great video I really enjoyed it 👍 thanks Paul
They certainly know how to look after people. Looking forward to the next instalment 👍🏼
Paul fantastic vlog !
Brilliant video Paul your videos are excellent from the filming to the history you give of the cities you visit and places you travel on trains on the UK keep up the awesome work hope we all get back to flying 👍✈️✈️✈️
Thanks alot Paul! Really appreciate all your aviation reviews! Whenever the next travelday arrives, ill make sure i sign up for a surfshark deal.
I enjoy your reviews and flights greetings from the Netherlands
Welldone Paul keep up the good work stay safe
Thanks for the video 👍
Thanks, Paul. Seeing your video made me realize how much I miss SQ's a380. London to Singapore was never more relaxing than on their a380.
Great vid Paul! i was getting concerned you may have had the Rona due to uploads, as your fellow youtubers have been uploading, great to see content, i maybe going to Changi airport Dec this year for work cant wait and hopefully fly Singapore airlines from the uk.
Great video as always. This seat product was originally launched at the end of 2006 on the 77W and in 2007 on the A380 when that aircraft entered service, so the design is even older than might at first be thought!
Your voice is extremely satisfying to listen to. Pure ASMR. You should be the voice for audio books 🤣 Great video as always!!
I think Paul's first vlog post lockdown 3, will be a train ride to a Wetherspoon or other pub somewhere 😀
I really enjoy Paul's videos even though he and I obviously have very different preferences for airline food!
Hi Paul, I enjoyed reading the stats that you put on regarding the airports and the amount of flights you have taken.
Awsome video Paul I love the size of the 380 although I haven't been on it
Watching these videos just to hear airplane sounds once more... Can't believe it's been over a year since I've been in an airplane
I flew with Kingfisher Airlines to London from Delhi Airport shortly after the new terminal started operating in 2010 and I was impressed with the carpets everywhere. Nice video and nice food.
Yet another great video, Paul. :)
That looks like an amazing business class seat. One can only imagine what the new product looks like. :)
On a side note, the plane you flew on, 9V-SKR, was parked just 11 days after your flights and hasn't flown since.
Great video!
Another superb video 👍
Your back, was wondering where you got too.
I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I realy miss traveling, I love air travel. I can hardly wait for the end of covid. You bridge the gap extremely well. Thanks so much.
Hey Paul, I think with the recent airlines restructuring, think thats why there are 3 people to check your ticket. Also WOW how quiet the A380 is - its sooo nice! Hope you are okay during the pandemic and thanks for the videos
I though you were going to say that the sidebins could 'take a small child easily '. Great work as ever, Paul.
To be fair, they’d take a small toddler...!
@@Paul_Lucas they might even take me or you if we scrunched up!
Paul, love your videos. You always tell us what we really need to know and throw in some special things as well. I've been a fan for a while and I thought I would take a moment to say job well done... and you alright? I've watched other channels, but they don't have the British "feel." Greetings from Torquay.
Another great video Paul really enjoyed it thanks. Something to keep me going on my 9hour 27 min shift tomorrow on the iron road.😁😁
Great video, as always .....Xavier))) 😃😃😃
The old business class seats like these were far better than the new ones .
Great flight reviews! Would love to see more of what you think of domestic US coach class, with purchased food and drink options(after pandemic ends) because that's what 90% of us in the US typically experience. Thanks!
Lighting is terrible in this video but as always enjoyed it.
Thanks for a great video. I haven't flown as often as you (who has?), but I have flown a few times with Singapore Airlines and I agree with you that it's a really good experience. In particular, as you said, the crew are friendly without being intrusive, and very helpful. The only possible criticism I can make is that I have tried their "Book the Cook" option twice, and both meals were very disappointing. But the regular in-flight Business Class menus are so good that I'm happy to stick with them.
Certainly not a trip you'd be taking in May, 2021. Great video -- just subbed!
-- James
Great Video
My first ever long haul was a Singapore 747 economy back in 1999. The plane was almost empty but the service was amazing. Probably still the best economy flight I've ever taken.
Paul thanks for the great offer on Surfshark what a great offer !!! I cant wait for the next video , stay safe out there.......
That part with the mirror had me rolling 🤣😂
How we all miss this. Singapore Airlines are the best
Enjoy your work and see you're accumulating the flights. I live in western Canada and have enjoyed aircrafts, airports, and travel all my life. Last 10 years I've flown to Bali (dps) 9 times, and once to Manila, Philippines for recreational getaways hooked on the local culture and vibe. I've travelled to Vancouver (yvr) and usually take the night flight to Taipei, Taiwan (tpe). My first was with Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong on their 777, then the glorious 747 5 hour short haul to Bali. Never seen so many 747's in HK except for heathrow. Gone via Tokyo once on JAL to explore business class options and did accumulate gold status on China Airlines for a short period pre-pandemic flying premium class, sometimes upgrading taipei to dps. Knew the system pretty good and loved it. Usually took 32 hours with all the stops from door step to beach step, so a little lounge experience and seats closer to the front always made for a long haul trip that much better. I've travelled a few b/c legs on China Airlines A350-900 and was most impressed. My final 747 opportunity was China Airlines yvr to taipei flying premium class in the upper deck, truly memorable. Can't wait for travel and flights to start again!
Didn't think we'd see a bathroom, them Bam, right at the end. That's not a seat, that's a La-Z-Boy recliner. Great vid.
I love these seats. As you mentioned, great for side sleepers and more comfortable than the newer ones. Such a shame they are disappearing.
I love your videos specifically the train videos, I was wondering if you have given any thought to going to Japan and riding the Shinkansen.
Legendary Indian Bureaucracy. Only country I've been to where (in 1996) they someone checking my boarding pass when I got off the plane in Delhi from London. Also had to fill a big form in just to go inside their train museum
Yes they do love to stamp paper documents don't they! Which given Paul's comments regarding digital documents makes India incompatible for a digital age, especially when it comes to international travel. I note despite embracing digital boarding passes Paul had to have a paper one printed off... just to have it stamped at the dedicated check point 🤦♂️
Adore these trips ....
9:33 Actually Singapore's Changi Airport shares runways with Changi Air Base today (which is split into 2 by Changi Airport itself)
Flew from San Francisco to Kuala Lumpur and return flight to Los Angeles on Singapore Air. It was an awesome flight. Food was great and flights were always on time.
I flew back business class from NZ to London with Singapore and it was brilliant. Compared to first class on an old BA 767 the year before that it was night and day better
Great trip report
Less than a minute after it was uploaded - you wouldn't even have watched it! 🤣
Having said that, ALL Paul's trip reports are excellent! 😊
The 6 times I have flown with Singapore I have always been impressed! even though I am a pleb and can only fly cattle class I still feel like I am getting my moneys worth and quality and service.
Awesome video
The Bureaucracy in Delhi Airport is INSANE! We went there in 2019 and I remember just getting off the plane to the carousel, we had to go through no less than 5 PASSPORT checks! India's an amazing and beautiful country though so the hassle was well worth it.
Awesome video as usual Paul! :D Keep safe :) Hey hopefully you can drop by the Philippines soon ;)
As an Indian i agree with you! Its so annoying
Finally 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Awesome job as always Paul! Glad you finally got to try Singapore Airlines!
Just so you know Paul that 3rd check at 5:47 is how Singapore 🇸🇬 Airlines totals up how many people are onboard to figure out their load factor. I learned that from @DennisBunnikTravels. Also what music do you use at 13:18??? Id love to know....
Hi from Singapore and yes I have. To shanghai and Hanoi as far as I can remember
I've done the red-eye from Singapore to London on the A380, good economy product.
