MY FIRST ULTRA LONG HAUL: Singapore Airlines A350 Premium Economy SFO-SIN
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 27 มิ.ย. 2024
- On our flight out to Singapore (which was amazing by the way), we changed our United Airlines tickets out for Singapore Airlines Premium Economy. The seats proved to be plenty for the 17 hours we spent on the airplane. We also were able to test out the Business Class cabin for the return, so keep your eyes peeled for that video. Thanks for watching!

Outstanding video and great explanation. As I was watching this vid, I was tracking SQ31 SFO-SIN on FlightRadar24. Nice flight! Thank you!
Thank you!

Mother and i flew from New Zealand to the UK via Singapore,on Singapore Airlines.,flight was outstanding incl cabincrew service & all food supplied. Loved watching this flight review Patrick,awesome vlog as always!.✈👍
Thank you! That is a heck of a journey!
Taking this flight in a month and I can't wait for it after this video
Exciting! Safe travels!
Great review👍
Thanks! 👍
Five star coverage
Good upload. I love Singapore airlines. I'll be doing the New York to Singapore SQ21 flight and back in the fall for a second time (love it!), all 19+ hours. They do a great job and the Airbus A350-900 ULR is a beautiful aircraft. Hope you enjoyed Singapore. We actually just transit
through Changi, Philippines is our destination. Thanks for sharing. ✈️👋
Great video
Thanks!
Did the same route a few years back, from SFO to SIN and then on to India.. then back the same way. Great airline for sure and Changi Airport offers so much to do just there itself. While for me its a transit point, as I'm getting to do that again soon, I plan to extend my transit in Singapore just to explore everything that luxury airport has to offer.. plus, Singapore itself has nice places to check out. Good to see the view outside the plane from premium economy.. though an open view of the ground below is highly important to me, so I think I'll just continue to stick with economy 🙂
Absolutely! I can't even imagine getting off a 16+ hour flight just to get back on another flight! You're a brave man :)

I did the exact same thing! Good airline but a 16 hour flight is a little bit too much for me.
Great review, Patrick! I took this same flight back in April of last year, and then went on from Singapore to Vietnam, also on Singapore Airlines. Your experience pretty much mirrored mine, except I was way back in the last row in economy. It was an awfully long flight, and seemed as though it would never end at times.😀 That said, the outstanding service, the quality of the meals, and the overall comfort the spotlessly clean A350 offered somewhat offset the tedious length of the flight. I looked enviously at the Premium Economy and Business class sections during my flight, but economy wasn't bad, all things considered. I scored a really great deal on the tickets, so I can't complain. I suppose that was mostly due to Singapore just easing its fairly strict entry requirements in mid-April last year in an effort to kickstart its post-pandemic travel industry. I haven't seen a deal as good as that on SA since then, sadly. I just flew the SFO to SIN route again in June this year, but this time on United and on one of their 787s, which was just as long as the SA flight last year but nowhere near as pleasant.😒
That’s awesome! I definitely enjoyed my time with SIA. I personally enjoyed the United flights to Singapore as well, although obviously it’s tough to compare most products to Singapore Airlines
Appreciate the vlog. Considering buying premium economy versus economy. With such a long trip, I think the added space and all of the amenities would make it worth the added expense.
Premium Economy is for sure worth it on flights of this long. The extra space and comfort in addition to better food and all is great
I enjoyed your video, but kill the music. It was hard to hear everything that you were saying with that background music.
I agree, especially when he was talking as well. Sensory overload. Good Review though.

How many times did you say, "Now..."? ;-) I really enjoyed the footage.
I just completed SQ33, sfo-sin then onwards to another 3 hours to mnl. I usually fly PR economy and its about 14 hours non stop to mnl. But I must say that the 16 hours in PE is not as tiring. A main attraction is of course Changi itself. We only had 5 hours layover and hardly saw anything at Changi as we rested about 2&1/2 hours at a lounge. Flying back we'll have 9 hours layover. I do think you need more time than 8 hours to explore Changi.
I agree, there was so much to do there. I gave myself 5 hours and there was still so much I didn't get to see. Next time I would definitely leave myself more time.
Patrick.... Nice review! How did you do the intro flight map? We just started our channel for fun and have a few flight/trip vlogs coming up and can't find how to do that anywhere! We booked around the world business class seats using ANA for our family of three and would love to do a map like yours in the video. Keep up the good work!
Thanks! It’s just the iMovie map under backgrounds. You can really do a lot with iMovie. I’ve got a lot to learn still
@@PatrickSheaAviation Ahhh cool! I just dowloaded Final Cut Pro for the free 90 day trial. Its way more complicated but has some real good features. 🤙

Did you use "the force" to get that cloud to stay perfectly still right before take-off, lol? It did not more right, left, forward or back. Meanwhile the white banners on the side of the runway were blowin' strong. You got skills bruh.
Nice review on this flight. Planning to take this flight too soon. By the way, I was wondering which camera are you using on your videos?
It’s a great flight. I use the highly coveted iPhone camera ;)
@@PatrickSheaAviation hey Patrick, thanks for your response. I actually use my iPhone during my flights too. Awesome shots. I enjoyed your videos. Having a marathon now on my TV

Very nice that you mentioned the public art in public spaces. The vast majority of travellers are too intent, too totally engrossed in their real lives on their phones, to even notice.
It’s one of those nice touches that I appreciate to make it so every airport isn’t just a white box

wow nice, I love planespooting!. Just curious, you didn't have to quarantine in Singapore? I'm not sure if international travel still requires that.. I did hear PCR test is no longer required though
We were actually booked in the Vaccinated Travel Lane which didn’t require quarantine. That being said, the requirement was lifted just before our trip. We were required to show proof of vaccination (or negative Covid test), but that was back in late April when we travelled so I can’t speak to current requirements

This video is so helpful, thanks 😅
I will be flying to San Francisco from Singapore shortly and I’m wondering if it is better to go with premium economy on United or Singapore airline ? Which has more leg room ? Kindly share your thoughts
I thought Singapore had a bit more room, but I’ve done both and enjoyed them
I greatly prefer the PE seats on the SIA A350 over the 787 seats on UA
17 hours of flight went quicker than you thought? you must be crazy...:) 18 hours on premium economy class from SIN-JFK and I felt like two days on the airplane.
Sleep is a wonderful tool :) being my first time also helped a bit I’m sure
@@PatrickSheaAviationI wonder which route is better, JFK - Singapore or SFO - Singapore. Trying to decide for our upcoming trip
Patrick great video and narration. Was the premium economy seats comfortable? How was the seat recline and would you recommend bringing a neck pillow? Can I use my Bose headset it only has two plugs and will it work in the premium economy seat. Flying JFK to Sin in the end of the month wanted.
The seat was incredibly comfortable. I had no problem sleeping without a neck pillow. The recline and adjustable headrest was enough for me to get about 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep and then stay comfortable for the rest of the flight. They do supply basic pillow and blankets to use as well which can help if you have a window seat so you have a good place to rest your head. All in all though, for a 16+ hour flight, I never had any problems with staying comfortable
Patrick appreciate the feedback. Keep making great content. Safe travels.
I'd love to try SQ's PE in the ulr version, if only to get one of the single seats. I'd try the book the cook service, since PE has access as well.
I would 100% fly their PE product again, very enjoyable!
i shall be on this light soon
It’s a great flight and VERY comfortable. Enjoy!
If they are going my way I always choose to ride with Singapore Ai. 1st class operation.
Thanks for sharing. I'm flying out with Singapore Airlines Thursday from AU to Europe. Are you able to connect your own Bluetooth headset or earbuds to the entertainment system?
Not that I recall. There was a headset jack that I believe you could plug in your own headset but not via Bluetooth
@@PatrickSheaAviation thank you!
wow, pacific ocean
Thank you for v informatic video , i traveled Chennai Singapore JFK bussiness class and return in july and september and again in the month of march this time Chennai SIngapore EWR Business class , one thing is v clear Singapore airlines easily the best airlines in the world , though i travel a lot in Emirates SQ the worlds longest flight is much better then emirates in friendly caring. and comfort
I’ll be trying Emirates early next year, but Singapore’s attention to detail and the customer experience is one of a kind for sure
The meals on Economy and Premium Economy are the same. I have done SQ 37 and 38 several times. Not worth the extra money. Also, the quantity of food for a 16 hour flight is inadequate. Now I just fly Economy.
Good info. How comfortable were the seats in economy? I’d be curious how the flight quality was and if you’re able to get a good rest.
@@PatrickSheaAviation They were okay. Rest was ok because plane was only about 40%(Covid 19 effect). The food was not good because in the it was much better.
I’ll be flying Seattle to Singapore to Bangkok on September 1 in economy. Did they get rid of the ice cream with meals? I’ll have plenty of time sleeping at Changi, as we land at 5:30 PM and I leave for Bangkok the next morning. I usually can’t sleep on planes
This flight was operated a few months ago but we didn’t get ice cream. If I recall correctly, we did get some on the return flight but it was more of a sorbet with one of the meals
I flew from San Francisco to Hyderabad, India, on Singapore. They didn't give us ice cream on the longer-haul flight from San Francisco to Changi, but they were included with our meal on the second leg to Hyderabad. Your mileage may vary.
Just wondering, if you are connecting to another flight do you have to go through immigration?
Nah Singapore makes connections super easy
@PatrickSheaAviation that's great to hear...we have 3.5 hours between arriving Singapore and departing for bali..same carrier singapore air
You think the 787 or a350 was smoother and quieter in flight?
Personally, the A350 is my favorite airplane as a passenger. Although it hurts not to choose a Boeing....
❤❤❤. What seat number did you have? What’s the app or website to pre fill immigrations? Thank you
Unfortunately I don’t remember but I’m sure you could find it online. It’s just Singapore’s immigration website. Safe travels!
For clarity could you just say again which you thought had most room and comfort in premium economy, Singapore or United?
I’d say Singapore has a bit more room but both premium economy seats are great, although you’ll typically find better service on Singapore
When the window is not mostly in your side it is not yours to close
They used to have three hot meals for a flight that long.
1:00 I thought USA has blue passport how did you get US citizenship anyway
I’m born and raised here so for me it was given
@@PatrickSheaAviation But doesn’t USA have blue passport
@@funtasticadventures6359 It looked blue on my screen.
Bro that girl in the backround tho
Kill the music. Otherwise great review.
Great video..the background music level is far too high ..and spoils your presentation...
Your music is competing with your voice.
ITS FUNNY UNITED CHARGES LESS THAN SINGAPORE WHO DID THE FLIGHT SINGAPORE SHOULD DROP PRICE
music is so loud can' really understand anything you're saying.
NOT COOL as an “aisle” passenger shutting a window shade. NOT COOL.
Poor audio and music was just annoying.
A pity, the shxxx background music ruined the video. So sad.
No damn way I can sit in a metal tube for 17 hours with a stupid mask on. The oxygen level is low enough, around 8000ft. cabin altitude. Hell with that.
Dreadful repetitive music.
Your seat shouldn't be reclining whilst eating, so problem solved
Fair enough. Can’t beat the comfort of feeling like you’re eating from your own recliner though. Good point though
May I ask....when you travel with, premium economi. Can you use the lounge for business class?? thank you for the video.
Unfortunately not. Especially because at SFO, Singapore Airlines uses United’s Polaris Lounge which is fairly exclusive
