Did the SFO-SIN round trip recently on the long haul version of the 359, the one with only business and premium. Outbound ended up at just over 17 hours while inbound was just under 15. We were fortunate to score business saver award tickets. The food was amazingly good. I’d rate it restaurant quality. I had sea bass and dim sum as the two meals. Typically, fish in airplane meals gets pretty dry and over sauced. This was moist and, honestly, perfectly prepared with very little sauce. The dim sum was also fresh and moist. Returning, the steak was perfect and the mee siam was very tasty. I got about 7 hours sleep on both segments, but at 6’2” and size 12 feet, I thought the footwell was a little cramped. But that’s me. The cabin crew on both flights were outstanding, no surprise. I’m very hard of hearing and very much appreciated the closed captioning on their movies. ANA doesn’t do that as much. It’s a long, LONG flight, but we managed just fine.
Nice vlog! I follow reviews on SQ because I had such an amazing trip on SQ Business Class back in 2019 (pre all the rubbish). It looks like you had an amazing trip! From the The Jewel to the in terminal hotel, Silver Kris lounge, and flight. The A350 is such a beautiful plane - and the SQ service so amazing! The seat looks the same as on their 777 - the A380 has more of a 'pod' and you can make the seat lie flat whilst in it - the A350 regional (BNE - SIN) is not as well appointed - still good for the route flown. But the best bit on SQ in Business Class is a) everthing b) book the cook c) singapore slings - I also booked the Lobster Thermidor and it was amazing! My whole experience over several long flights with SQ was that overall, they would be hard to beat. Can't wait til I fly them again!
Thanks for watching and for your insight! Couldn't agree more. I just tried the 777 on the JFK-FRA route, and will have that video coming up soon, and the standards are still maintained. Truly and exceptional airline!
Agree! When I first started flying long haul it seemed daunting. But over the years going back and forth between Canada and the Middle East/India, it has become second nature. Of course being in business/premium economy makes it much easier.

From this old boy from Perth Down-Under;
Thank you for sharing your video vlog awesome ....3/03/2024
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wow max thrust take off 10:51
Ultra long haul flight always looks scary 😅
Not scary, but it does get tiresome and feel like forever once you past the halfway marker. Doing a 16hr in economy is hard.

When you live in Australia like l do. All overseas trips are long haul. It’s the only way to really appreciate business class🇦🇺
Curious if the flight was full. Still don't know why they pulled out of Vancouver.
As far as I can recall looking on expertflyer, this flight was full! In all cabins.
Lack of demand supposedly. Air Canada is taking over the route starting April 2024.
