I used to drive a limousine in the New Jersey/New York area and one of my passengers had a very sad experience. I picked her up at Newark, where she had just flown in on the Singapore nonstop 19 hour flight. On the way to her hotel she called back home and got the sad news that her mother had unexpectedly died. She called the airline, had me turn around and take her back to the airport, where she got right back on the same airplane and flew another 19 hours back home to Singapore. Now that was some long-haul flying.

That is so sad. I thought it was bad I spent 10 hours flying back home after Dad had his heart attack. Weren't going to do surgery for 6 weeks so once I knew he was stable I flew home. By the time I landed I got message from Dad they were flying him to another hospital for surgery. It was midnight. Got home booked a 7am flight and flew back. Still was another 2 weeks of waiting. Eventually flew home. Exhausted I booked a BC seat. Copped a screaming kid all the way home beside me. Dad survived.

I agree on the snack selection but that’s kind of nitpicking. Great experience on a great airline.

Regarding Premium Economy, it's interesting that there seems to be two different philosophies at different airlines. Some, like Delta and according to your report Singapore, treat it like 'Economy Plus' (i.e. an enhanced economy class). While others, like Air France, treat it like 'Business Minus' (A downgraded/cheaper Business Class). Personally I'm not sure which I prefer when factoring in cost and the overall experience.
@simply_aviation
@simply_aviation 2 года назад
That's absolutely true! I personally believe that many airlines got rid of their First Class and significantly improved their Business Class, and the created Premium Economy for the gap in between, so that business travelers would once again pay a premium to have a higher class of service than Economy, since many companies stopped offering their employees business class tickets, so that's a way around that. But you are totally right, the quality of Premium Economy varies significantly across airlines, much more so than in Economy or Business.
@gparyani
@gparyani 2 года назад
@@simply_aviation Back in the late 90s and early 2000s, most airlines' first class was equivalent to today's business class, the only class offering a lie-flat seat, and business class was equivalent to today's premium economy, offering a large recliner seat. So there's not much reason to offer first class, other than as a front for the airline (like the Gulf carriers did)

I think the menu card in premium economy /economy class doesn't very useful, so they cut it. Because there are three options meals that you can get. You easily know what you want to eat.. Since the pandemic, many airlines try to cut unnecessary or not so important products or services, so they can survive. So it really makes sense that Singapore Airlines make some adjustments here and there to reduce the cost of operation. For me, I don't mind if they reduce some not so important services and products as long as they keep high quality primary services /products such as good food in good portion., a comfortable seat, cabin crew who always care for what passengers need. And most importantly is the Safety.. That's all for me.
@dennisrettke
@dennisrettke 2 года назад
I disagree. I personally love the menus, not just for aesthetics (although it helps). With such a long flight, you can kind of "plan" your meals in advance and select accordingly. Maybe for example, you want to have a heavier meal, or one with beef, at the start of the flight, and then something lighter later, or vice-versa. Having said that, I saw he had access to the digital version which is a good compromise.

After seeing the horrible conditions of the waiting area and only 3 lounges are available to transit passengers, Emirates, Qatar, and Plaza premium in the waiting area. Can confirm Singapore now has a very poor transit arrangement and anyone transiting over night waiting for long hrs might as well book the ambassador airport hotel. I ended up paying for plaza premium lounge as they are doing a promotion now.

A That's 14 years ago B you didn't mention the airline C you didn't mention what the "torture" was. Context is important. For reference I flew from LA to Hong Kong on Cathay, and it was a far better experience than *any domestic* (US based) airline to anywhere in any length. Even a short flight like LA to Phoenix just seems like a hassle. (For context; American to Barcelona was ok (ground service when returning was atrocious,) Air France, KLM, British Airways were very nice, Qatar was surprisingly underwhelming (most recent, but I was going to my fathers funeral so that might have colored my experience) Lufthansa was adequate. But anytime i've flown a domestic airline international, other than my one trip to Barcelona, i've been extremely disappointed.) Enough to where i'd drive/ ride my motorcycle once a month to Phoenix to go see mum, rather than fly.

Yeah I agree the award winning menu card or booklet is something greatly missed but it is due to covid19...the idea being whether one agrees or disagree is to minimise contact...anyways I also agree our snacks are sadly too minimal. I would have tot some fruits would be great on a long haul flight...trust me if you have flown SQ in the 80s and 90s it is like first class lol...have a blessed holiday season and keep safe...cheers

No matter what criteria you used, I still believe if they're selling it as "Premium Economy", it's fair it should be reviewed that way.

Precisely! Just because you didn't like the previous experience, doesn't mean that you can downgrade it by your own standards and then call it "regular economy".

I'm glad they separated the transiting passengers because one of my friends was an airport staff and was infected during the last covid cluster at that airport. Commendable for their effort in minimizing risk. Anyways, flying is a privilege for many people due to new borders closers and this new variant. Better be safe than sorry.

Hi! As a singaporean, I’d like to defend the rant about being confined at a specific location. Unfortunately, in May 2021, Singapore experienced the largest and active cluster coming from within Changi Airport. This cluster has prompted an Investigation, which found that there were no segregation between high risk and low risk passengers, consequently, causing covid to spread to the airport staff and into the community. Thus, it was necessary to confine to a specific area while waiting for a transit flight. However, I strongly agree that it is a great disappointment and unacceptable to see litters everywhere and vending machine badly stocked.

I really enjoyed this report! I think this is the first trip report, (Brutally Honest or regular), in which my home town of Toronto was mentioned TWICE!! You over flew it, and also mentioned a trip on Air France from Toronto to Paris! As much as I enjoy these reports, I trust you guys are being very cautious protecting yourselves from Covid. I would hate to hear that one of you contracted it. Please, for all your fans, stay safe!!

Looks like a great flight! It's tough to tell from the video, but I would be a little disappointed if that was the premium economy legroom on a long haul flight. Many carriers are introducing larger seats with way more legroom on international premium economy. I don't mind the missing menu card with the virtual ones, and the snack selection is great for me. No need for designer snacks, just something substantial.

Air New Zealand used to have their Spacepod premium economy but they scrapped it sadly. Not everyone was a fan though; they had no legrests and passengers were given bean bags to plop their feet on 😳

Not sure what airline you’re referring to but SIA’s Premium Economy Seats are far the best from most European and US carriers and it’s very competitive amongst Asian and Middle East carriers. Even before discussing the service and added amenities, SIA also provides unlimited delectables on these flights in addition to book the cook option. Legroom is seat width is actually US domestic first class level. I’ve been on these flights a couple of times I can tell you, it’s far more comfortable than it shows.

@@rawasianchicago Yes, but an AA flight will pull away from the gate without those low quality stuff amenities, and not even think twice. When it comes to US flag carriers it's all about operating a flight at the lowest possible cost with the least amount of effort. Our US airline service sucks, and frankly, it's not as if any of them (AAL, UAL and DAL), really try.

My longest flight is LAX to SYD in Australia, about 15 hours. I have done it in premium economy and business. A HUGE difference. Business (obviously) was a much more comfortable flight, being able to lie flat and sleep like in a normal bed was awesome. When I arrived I felt no jet lag whatsoever, was ready to go.

it is about weight. Narrowbodies have stricter MTOW than widebodies, plus the cost on extra fuel and ife mainaining (contents, devices,...) not worth it. Except the US and Canada where ticket for mid-haul flights operated by narrowbodies is ridiculusly expensive so Big3 can put ife on short haul flight. Asian and Europe market are highly competitive in both cost and services. Without IFE is not a big deal, but the meals/attendants/seats are where the deal is.
