  • So, Qatar Airways got kicked out of the number 1 spot of Skytrax World’s best awards 2023 in favor of Singapore Airlines. Let’s fly it on a popular flight and check it out!
    Hey and welcome to another video!
    I’m excited to fly SQ’s Boeing B787-10 to Bangkok. It’s my first time on this type and it didn’t disappoint!
    What was a surprise is what the SQ experience is like in 2023..
    Singapore Airport continues to be the best by far up to this date, no questions asked, but Skytrax choose a fair winner?! After all, they have awarded Lufthansa 5 * in the past, well ahead of Turkish and Emirates, amongst others..
    So, does Singapore Airlines beat all its Asian and Middle Eastern competitors?!
    I believe the best way to compare airlines is when you take the most popular and flown routes, such as Singapore to Bangkok. In Economy, because we know it is all bling in the SQ Suites.
    Join me and give me your own honest opinion about the current state of Singapore Airlines.
    Most of you will have flown it way more then me so I’m glad to hear it all!
    Thanks again for being here, and I do hope you enjoy this video.
    Have a nice one!
    Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
    From: Singapore International Airport, Singapore
    To: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi International, the Kingdom of Thailand
    Flight Number: SQ 708
    Aircraft Type: Boeing 787-10
    Registration: 9V-SCK
    Flight Time: 01:55

    From what i read in the local newspaper, SQ is reverting back to casserole and cutlery and doing away with paper boxes. My personal experience is that the paper boxes kept the food super hot and that is nice if you are eating something soupy. SQ is still my favourite airline.

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  Рік тому +4

      SQ continues to be amongst my top ones. I am glad they are changing it because it was just a laugh.
      Regarding the food super hot or not, I don’t know. I don’t mind paper boxes and bamboo cutlery at all. But don’t boast it’s luxury.
      Thanks for writing!

      @@TheLayoverAviation yeah true true but yeah for regional flights i wouldnt mind it, if its good and hot, then its best for me, but others have other preferences, so its fine but i dont think its something i would think and waste my day get angry on this matter, compared to other regional flights with no entertainment system and where u have to pay to buy food or they sometimes serve food that u pour boiling water over it and it cooks after 5min, signapore airlines treated with respect

Those Middle Eastern carriers are all state funded not even a good financial model so speaks everything and the generosity? LMAO, if you see the frown on the faces of the crew of saudia, QR, EK, etihad when they have to fly to South Asia because of all the labour workers, sure they behave like animals but still paying passengers, they dont even give the minimum respect, no smile, no addressing them as sir and even give threats to them about handcuffing them or calling traffic officer, whereas flew w SIA recently dac-sin, sin-bkk and return and for sure they were annoyed af but always a smile, give their level best to communicate properly and always address them as sir.

    20:38, Me too. Even though Singapore is a 5 star airline, I give it a 4 because they don't have the air vent on the Airbus A350 and Boeing 787 Dreamliner on a medium and long haul flight. They need to install the air vent on the Airbus A350 and all Boeing 787 Dreamliner, so that it's comfortable and it's a 5 star airline. If they install the air vent on the Airbus A350 and all Boeing 787 Dreamliner, it's comfortable and it's the best 5 star airlines.

    • @TheLayoverAviation

      I have a question. Was the aircon turned back on after take off? Because I took a B787-9 by Scoot, I was sweating all the way from SIN to TPE and then TPE to SIN which made me felt very unwell after landing back in Singapore, even though it's a midnight flight. But didn't have a problem with the A320 that I took from BKK to SIN. I believed that the personal air vents played a big part during the flight.

    13:19, Me too, I want to look out the window to see the view outside, but they lock and dim the window, which is annoying. But for me, I am okay, but it's annoying that they lock and dim the window at a cruising attitude. If you want to look out the window to see the view outside, take the evening and red eye flight, so that you can see the moon, clouds, horizon, city land, water and other planes flying lower or higher attitude in the same or opposite direction to see the contrails.

    Amazing! I really don't mind if Singapore is better or not than other 5 stars airlines, but I am sure are more better than other airlines in the world. And that good service and food is all we can add for. By the way, I was investigating and the a350 also would (and it have) the crew blocking on the new windows. The difference is that in this case is a complete back hole 🕳️, cause you don't see nothing. So the crew's would live to blind.

Their business is the most expensive and fails to deliver what others provide (free limo service, inflight bar, amenity kits, beds you don’t have to flip over and so on). Yes it’s a “good” service in Business and Economy, but not even close to great (or great value) that is for sure. Come on SQ, please try harder! 🙏✈️

    A perspective to consider:
    It is with great regret that the new recent in-flight SQ meal presentation in Economy class, which started during pandemic era, does not look appetising nor elegant anymore. While I could understand the need to reduce surface contact, cost-cutting measures, etc. during pandemic years, it is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated meal presentation towards pre-pandemic SQ standard.
    Previously, SQ meal presentation looks elegant, high-class, proper, well-thoughtful in every aspect so as to have a luxurious feel even on a short one-hour Jakarta-Singapore flight which compliments other aspect of world-class SQ label. For instance, in every Economy class pre-pandemic SQ meals consists of: proper metal cutleries set only, a refined white-colour plate for the main dish, a transparent classy glass cup, small cylindrical pre-packed mineral water or orange juice, additional coffee/tea offering by stewardess in a proper cup as well as rounded bread offering, basic seasoning: salt pepper butter, two finest white-colour square plates for the side dishes with transparent lid showcasing their contents: chocolate cake / desserts / green salad/ two or three types of colourful fruits. All of these are placed against darker-colour tray, enhancing its colour contrast. Exquisite indeed!
    However, nowadays as also shown in the flight review above, for Economy class in-flight meal, cheap-looking brown takeaway cardboard box is used instead. No more metal cutleries in some flights route. To a certain extent, that is not how it supposed to look for five-star airlines. In addition, many components are removed and black-coloured thin cheap-looking plastic plate is used for the main dish instead. A comparison of current SQ in-flight meal presentation with pre-pandemic Economy class of other five-star airlines competitors such as Emirates reveals how disappointing and dissatisfying it is.
    It is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated Economy class meal presentation again once pandemic impacts becoming more manageable in a foreseable future.

    Singapore has the best in class and most modern fleets but they are notorious when it comes to cost cutting on their offerings. The don’t have overhead air vents and tail cameras to avoid the setup and maintenance costs. Needless to say, they are in the news for all bad reasons about the poor quality of meals offered, even in premium cabins. The only good experience I had off late with them was the first suite class journey on their A380 and that was incredible but even then cost cutting was very obvious in many instances.

    I flew Emirates a few times over the last years and Singapore Airlines for the first time this year. I prefer Singapore Airlines by far. The crew is more professional on Singapore Airlines imo. Changi is overrated though and I might even prefer DXB but it’s close. Additionally, SA offers free wifi now which is a huge bonus to me. Moreover, transit times are much shorter if you fly Singapore Airlines compared to Emirates (at least where I am flying from). Personally I don’t mind with the plastic boxes. After a 10h+ flight I am not hungry anyway so a small box/snack is fine for me.

      Emirates is incredible when you fly the latest aircrafts, but everything else is very consistent.

    Wifi is actually free on SQ flights (unlimited actually). Even in April 2023 (was 2hrs free then). You just have to sign up to be a Krisflyer Member at no cost. So the point about steep prices is refutable.
    I think you were unlucky with your set of crew. I fly SQ frequently and have never been disappointed!
    And they’ve added bread and butter as offerings on regional flight catering since June 2023.

      That’s weird, I am a Krisflyer member and Star Gold and I had no idea it was free.. And this was my 4th flight that month with them.
      Crew on my both flights were very meh.. Unorganized and sloppy. From Dubai the late night service took 3 hours with the lights on full bright.

    Great review as always!!! I've had mixed experiences with Singapore. I flew from Singapore to Tokyo after doing the London to Singapore leg and I purposely didn't have anything to eat in Singapore. I think it's a seven hour flight from Singapore to Tokyo but they only served a breakfast right at the very end of the flight and when I wanted some wine to put me to sleep when I first boarded, it didn't arrive... I was hungry and moody. Emirates always serve a full meal and a light meal even on seven hour flights. I will probably fly Emirates the next time.

    I think it's silly that you are complaining about food served in economy on a 2 hour flight.

Luckily she will have had three meals before that. 😂😂 Be appreciative of what you have in life. Who cares if it's served in a box. It's nice to know they care about the planet.

    After flying several Southeast Asian airlines, you really do come to realize that Singapore technically has the “worst” onboard food service of the southeast Asian airlines on short-haul. This isn’t bad at all and it’s a great service for the duration, but the other Southeast Asian airlines which are seen as “lesser” than SQ set the bar very high on short haul catering. Thai Airways serves more than SQ on this route lol. Regardless, I’d still rather fly SQ on this route simply because of the cabin and crews.

    I do not know so much about airline ratings but barring the dimmed window, it was a good flight. I am not fussy about cutlery, I go more for the food quality and quantity. Does Thai plan to return the parked aircraft into service? If not, why doesn't it lease them out instead of leaving them to depreciate on the tarmac? Maintaining non revenue generating aircraft is a waste of resources. Thanks for the review. I look forward to the next one.
