As a veteran of several 16-plus hour flights out of DXB, I hear ya when you say it feels like decades after a certain point. I am pretty much glad to disembark at my final destination. Hats off for enduring 18 hours. It is really neat that the tray table can move up and down, too. Something other carriers would do well to emulate.

@tfft 8 месяцев назад

Yes, love that the tray table moves up and the fact that I never feel the need to pick up a dish when eating during turbulance 😂

@harambethegorilla6361 8 месяцев назад

I flew the second longest flight with Singapore from Newark to Singapore and it was honestly the best flight I ever experienced. From amazing Book the Cook food, flight attendants using my name throughout the flight to add a personal touch, and the attentiveness and kindness of the service, it did not feel like an 18 hour flight. I didn’t want to get off when we arrived.

@herenow6953 7 месяцев назад

ah how fab! I love SQ and visit these flight reviews to relive a fab experience pre Covid - LHR - SIN A380 Business class one of the most exciting flights I've ever taken - book the cook was amazing (yes, Lobster Thermidor because why not?!) - it was amazing as was every other aspect of service. Singapore Airlines - "A great way to fly" is a very true tag line!

@peterenables714 6 месяцев назад

Does the airline re-use the head phone plastic bag? That is the opinion I had when I boarded its flight to tokyo in 1998, miserly stingy. Covid-19 and does it re-use the plastic bag?

@Thongger 8 месяцев назад

Singapore Airlines really is very special. I once flew SF -> Singapore on economy , and I had a VERY short transit to catch my SG departing flight (from Vegas). Even then, the check in crew made sure I was present in the boarding hall before they even began the boarding process! Even as I approached the front desk they already knew who I was.

I couldn’t agree more with you. They are very VERY consistent. There never are any surprises and that actually is particularly very important for a long flight like this one. I have been in their business for their LAX-SIN route and that service was lovely. But, I must say that as a frequent traveler between India and Singapore, their service on these routes is particularly fantastic and significantly different which makes sense. As always a fantastic review Kevin. Looking forward to many more!

This flight is one of the 2 remaining bucket list flights I'm planning for next 2 years or so (just did the United Island Hopper flight in October, the Alaska Milk Run is the only remaining domestic flight on the list). I love Singapore as a destination, despite the weather. I was there this past spring, and took gigs and gigs worth of pics of the city, of the airport, of the Jewel (day & night, top to bottom), of ramp movements from my runway view room at the Changi Crowne Plaza, and captured some incredible afternoon golden hour shots of arrivals hanging out at Changi Beach Park. I experienced a very short taste (45 min) of that biz product this past spring from KUL back to SIN, and I know I will not have an issue with an 18 hr flight back home to the NYC metro area. It sure beats any of the many 12+ hour days flying low & slow cross-country in helicopters back when I was a crew member in the military.

@tfft 8 месяцев назад

Love the CP at Changi! Just wish it wasn't as expensive as the TWA Hotel at JFK! lol

@get2dachoppa249 8 месяцев назад

Oh, man, don't get me started on the TWA Hotel... Stand alone property with no rewards program or any kind of way to transfer any kind of points for redemption. For the amount of pics I took vs. the cost of the room when I was there in June, it worked out to be about $1.00 every time I pressed the shutter button. Talk about opportunity cost...

@tfft 8 месяцев назад

I've done Singapore to LAX, 14 hours 50 minutes. I distinctly remember the captain saying to us "Flying time today is approximately 14-50" - I then started to question how I would survive such a trip. Thankfully I chose the aisle seat, that was a saving grace. Also, the take-off was pretty special, the pilots needed to use a lot of extra power to get the plane into the sky. The aircraft used every bit of the 4km runway.

Flew this route a week ago today…albeit in PE though in one of the six singles seats. It was quite bearable with the extra space but I do prefer sleeping upright so seldom take advantage of the flat bed when flying in business or first. Third time on this route/flight, the fourth was on the A380 with the FRA stop earlier this year. BTW these two returns (including onward to CGK and BKK) got me AS Gold/OW Sapphire for about $3,000 including the six short haul AS flights required.

@tfft 8 месяцев назад

AS's botched rollout of JX inventory was the last straw for me with them. I cashed out all of my miles and will never credit to them again. Have never seen a platform go downhill quite so quickly. That said, I too also almost never lie flat on flights (unless APEX suites) so I've been wanting to try out PE on an ULH route. My only concern with the single seats (which I would definitly fight for haha) are not having anythign to lean on lol.

3:05 Okay this is actually one of the few gripes I have with SQ, they're seemingly allergic to sunlight! It's not just the lounge either, most of their business class seats are seemingly designed to cocoon you, and block the windows. You'd be lucky to have two windows to open up. Now, I'm a huge fan of their KrisWorld system, it's very easy to figure out. But sometimes the best entertainment is a good view, and the best way to get it in Business Class seems to be to fly their 737s.

@tfft 7 месяцев назад

Quick random comments comparing this flight to my experience on the EWR-SIN route this past August. Travelling in business, we got no amenity kit of any kind in either direction. Also, the food on Kevin's flight looks clearly better than the food on my flight, which was overall good for airplane food but not quite up the standard we had hoped for (even for the flight out of SIN). Wonder if a difference in the JFK and EWR routes, or perhaps just luck of the draw. Also, side note to those considering the NYC-SIN flights - the SQ website and app where you can pick meals in advance strongly indicates that there are three meals service. As Kevin indicates, there are two actual services, and you can also order off an inflight menu some other items starting sometime mid-flight. Don't do what I did as an SQ newbie, and wait patiently for the third service to arrive, as it never did. Did not have any flight attendant asking about whether they could bring anything either. At least on my flights, it turned out that you had to affirmatively reach out and place an order.

@endi4654 7 месяцев назад

Hi..You can tell how many meal services based on the menu card you receive. There's a portion whereby you can request at any point of time.

@tfft 7 месяцев назад

On SQ's website when using Book the Cook for the JFK or EWR flights, the meals are titled: "Lunch/Dinner", "a la Carte", and "Refershment"... you can choose meals in advance for the first two. For the Refreshment service the default is the menu selections unless you wanted to order a specialty meal. That being said, up until 75 minutes before landing, you could have ordered anything off of the menu and they would have prepared it for you if it was available.

@davidrockman4385 8 месяцев назад

Thanks Kevin. Question for you, if you know, on how the industry (or at least SQ) calculates the "longest flight in the world" title. Flew EWR-SIN round-trip this summer, and have been really curious about the following. Is the distance for this flight (and any flight really) calculated based on the shortest line between the two airports in question, or does it account for the actual route that the plane will take, which is always going to be somewhat longer than the shortest line given air traffic lanes, takeoff and landing flights patterns and approaches, etc.? In any case, I had assume that the JFK flight was longer than the EWR flight due to JFK being slightly further south than EWR, and that making a bit of difference when flying a polar/great circle based route. But then my EWR to SIN flight went east over the Atlantic, Europe, etc., and then the SIN to EWR return also went east, this time over the Pacific. Presumably due to wind patterns saving time and fuel, but absent a miracle of geography, one of those flights had to be longer than the other. And as such, wondering how the longer leg stacks (whichever one it was) up against the JKF flight in terms of longest flights. Curious as to your thoughts on this situation.

@tfft 7 месяцев назад

99% calculate based on GC Map distance, myself included. The precise distance flown is not a DP that is available to most people. On any given day, the EWR service could surely be longer than the JFK, heck if you put it in a holding pattern for long enough, the LAX flight could be longer than JFK too. So, ideal GC distance is used.

Hi. Thanks for sharing. I just bought plane ticket business class on Singapore airlines on May 2024 from LAX to Sing and back for over $6K. You mentioned in the video about a link at the end of the video how to get tickets the same price as you. Well I couldn’t find the link.

@tfft 2 месяца назад

I think you may be mistaken about what the link I mentioned was for. I never suggest there are links to specific fares since they are dynamic and change constantly. In the video I mentioned links to the trip report before this, COMO hotels, older SQ videos and my Patreon. Nothing about links to a fare.

I took exactly seat, 10A, on SQ23 2 years back (SQ23/24) and took premium economy SQ21/22 last month. I missed SQ business class. Hopefully I have saved miles enough to get bussiness class next time. However, I prefer time schedule on SQ21/22 than SQ23/24.

Bring it on and excellent trip report. If you ask a Filipino traveler that has done both PR127/126 should have been at 8:49 and SQ23/24 Manila connecting flight SQ910 2nd longest flight SQ21/22 SQ918 to MNL they would actually end up choosing the Singapore Airlines one due to it having a better service. The same ULR that does SQ23/24 21/22 does fly to the West Coast SFO SQ33/34 LAX SQ37/38. The lowest you can get for premium economy is $863 for both SQ23/21 provided you have a connecting flight to Manila Ninoy Aquino International Airport. I'm wondering what Star Alliance frequent mileage program you used here. My guess is United Airlines mileageplus or Air Canada Aeroplan which actually permits access to a United Airlines Lounge domestic US Travel. Same way as how the predecessor models A340-600 and A340-500 have a very heavy takeoffs out of New York JFK/EWR towards Singapore and Hong Kong

SQ cabin crews are indeed unbeatably the best, unlike any other airlines that claiming to be one of the best out there just to feed their social media platform. Flew this type AMS - CGK via SIN 3 years ago. However, the non-bulkhead seats have tiny leg space when sleeping.

Small correction: the previously used A340-500 held a maximum of 175t of fuel (which equates to the mentioned ~220tsd liters with standard density). That’s however not what the aircraft burned through for the trip. Even if you filled the tanks to the brim, you always account for at least fuel to divert to an alternate and a final reserve which under normal circumstances is not touched. Meaning, upon landing you always have some fuel left over. Just thought I’d mention that as you really seem to value accuracy in all your reviews 😅
