What Happened to Singapore Airlines? The Latest Flying Experience

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 3 ธ.ค. 2021
- This week I traveled on Singapore Airlines from Dubai via Singapore to Bangkok. I haven't flown on Singapore Airlines for almost 2 years. I was able to discover the latest changes onboard both flights.
Both of my flights are operated by A350-900 in medium-haul configuration. In Business Class, it features fully flat bed in staggered configuration. There are quite a few changes to the Singapore Airlines experience. Watch the video to find out more. At the end of the video, I gave my verdict on flying Singapore Airlines.
I transited Singapore Changi for 4 hours and visited the newly opened SilverKris Lounge. During my time in the lounge, I met 2 friendly Indonesian AvGeek who are traveling on my flight to Bangkok. They shared their travel experience.
After arrival in Bangkok, Thailand. I showed my experience of using Thailand Pass on the arrival formalities.
The way she shouted 'Mr Chui !' That was amazing
The way she recognised sam was some of the most purest moments you could ever see.
Just brilliant.
I discovered Sam's channel maybe a year ago and always love it - great content, Sam's composition is 1st rate, and the whole thing is wrapped in the passion he has for his subject matter. As someone who travels very little atm, I could be jealous of his exploits, but instead I just enjoy coming along with him. A+ Sam!
My family and I used Singapore Airlines exclusively back in the summer of 2010 for our round trip (Houston - IAH to Manila, with stops in Moscow and Singapore), using their 777-300 ER and 777-200 for the Singapore - Manila legs. Spent about 51 hours in the air total. We received the best, most extraordinary service and hospitality from any airline during those 50+ hours traveling. I would rate Singapore Airlines an A+++ grade.
Nice flight
Wow haha thanks!!! A guy form Singapore here
*Singapore Airlines - Great to see it back in action and maintaining its Glory* 🙌🏼
*My first International flight in 1997 - Memories and Goosebumps* 😇
Fly economy sometimes so that we can experience what the common people experience….. that’s my humble request…….. thx
There’s a few videos where he did.
@@mrman3938 he did in the world's longest commercial flight... Also by sq 😂😂
@@AbsolutelyRedundant how long was that ago ???
@@mrman3938 He has not posted any economy review in 1 year, that’s for sure. He did emirates but it was premium economy
Revenue for TH-camrs is mostly from Premium content. Most people want to see things they're not be able to travel in, but would like to know what all is there in Business class and First class. There is not much changes in Economy on most airlines. The changes are on Business class or First Class usually.
Love your positivity man! Amazing Videos. Great Vacation for you all
It is amazing how 'new' this video is and it really gives you a 'feel' of the current state of the World as we travel this uncertain road of COVID. Be safe Sam and ty.
Singapore airlines is awesome, i flew them april 2021 Seoul-SIN-BKK , experienced golf cart service to the transit hotel because arriving from certain countries are not allowed to walk the terminal alone around that time. The aircraft was very full in business but for me in economy i didnt have to wait at all at the economy check in and had lots of seats. The bangkok flight was busy. Also seemed like the expanded economy tickets into premium economy as i selected window seat myself on an economy ticket for free at checkin.
DXB TO SIN TO BKK with singapore airlines👌
Iamya
What meal did you have for seoul-sin? (any meals? Same as video? Or a bit better/worse) Also did u have to wait in ur hotel the whole time?
Wright 👍👍👍
The regional business class product on the 350 is garbage. I booked on an A380 flight deliberately, and there was an aircraft change to 350. Crew and meals were great, but the seat is garbage. Small, narrow, hard. I have broad shoulders and couldn’t sit straight in the seat. Torso twisted to the right, but feet twisted to left. Wifi not working for the whole flight. The A380 product is just so much better. Will never book an A350 flight on SQ again…
I flew back from SIN to SFO on business class and felt something is missing other than the menu and magazines. The SIA service still the best and crew are amazing and highly recommended. Thanks Sam for sharing your experience with us.
Thank you Sam for taking this flight. It is so nice to see the inside of our terminal through your video during this season. Hope you enjoyed your transit in SG!
I have been following your videos for years it’s so good to see airports full again my heart is racing with excitement at the thought of a long haul flight again thank you for all the wonderful videos
Elisia I love your comments very interesting and lovely. Can we chat privately on WhatsApp ❤️
In the past it was really a great way to fly ... when I came across SQ in the late eighties and early nineties... when they operated the B747-200, B747-300 called Big Top and then SIA changed to the B747-400 Mega-Top. On the dash 200 you had multi sector flights, ie SIN MLE BAH VIE AMS, or SIN DXB CAI VIE, or SIN ATH VIE CPH... and almost on every single sector a full hot meal tray service with 2-3 choices in EY class.
Sam, I love you channel. You are speaking my language: Travel. I’ve always been interested in aviation, love language learning and understanding of other cultures. I haven’t been to Singapore in 2 years so I’m glad things are starting to open up again. I haven’t flown on Singapore Airlines and I’ve heard it has great service. I flew United’s Polaris Business Class when I went which was good. Covid has definitely changed the way we travel and it just requires some flexibility with all the new requirements. It won’t hold me back from traveling. Thanks for your video.
I flew with Singapore Airlines few months ago, in premium economy. Such a great experience. The cabin crew is truly devoted, spacious seats, great experience
Thank you Sam. Always enjoy your content
Your videos always have such a good vibe. It was nice to see you highlight all the people.
Having lived in Singapore for a few years, travelling on SQ was a much better "home" airline than BA ever was. The crew on SQ are always amazing and the product is also great. I haven't had the privilege of flying their new business class, so it's great to see a review of it :)
BA is trash. Let’s be honest.
Worth the investment, decided to only travel this way from now on.
BA is garbage
speaking of consistency, thanks Sam for providing high class video content for many years, cheers from a fellow traveler
I have flown 2 times (1996 and 2006) with Singapore Airlines AMS-SIN-DPS. Singapore Airlines is one of the best airlines ever I have flown with. The crew and food were absolutely great! I would love to fly with them once again!!
LOVE UR VIDS SAM THX A LOT 💚
Singapore everything is just high quality there and luxury, and so colourful and creative in their designs
Singapore airlines will always be the best airline to fly with can't wait to fly again with you 👍
They won't be for very long, if they continue to downgrade their service. No welcoming drink in business. No longer any printed menus provided. Food served up in cardboard boxes and only icecream as a dessert in economy. Lesser known airlines are doing a far better job at the moment.
Thank you Sam great videos appreciate be blessed
Will be interesting for you to give more insight in each country requirements at the moment that you visit them as well!
Love your videos, thanks for the hard work.
Nice SQ review, Sam. Thank you. I was especially pleased to see the new SilverKris lounge. I never minded the old lounge, but I do understand it needed a refurbishment after 14 years.
I flew Singapore Airlines business from Heathrow to Adelaide. Wonderful inflight service as always. My only criticism was the lack of communication that flights from certain countries would be "confined" to an enclosed area called a "transit hold area" and we would not be allowed access to the lounge or shops, which makes Changi Airport iconic. In the "transit hold area" we also did not have access to any complimentary drinks or food and I found this space very limited for a 6 hour layover. Singapore Airlines should have communicated that to all passengers really clearly as that really impacted on my flight experience.
I'm transiting through Changi in a a couple of weeks, did you need to book a VTL flight or not?
Thanks
@@rickylocock9068 If you want to wander around Changi, yes you do. As for communicating being restricted in transit hold area, SA explains this if you go to your booking detail and on the COVID restrictions page.
@@feihalim3000 what if you're going from a VTL flight to a non-VTL flight?
@@dennisrettke As in if you can wander around in Changi if you travel from VTL to non-VTL flight? Normally, your outbound flight from Singapore is irrelevant, only your inbound flight, but please check SA website. Certain countries, regardless if the inbound flight is VTL or not, can only stay in transit area due to omicron.
Really really happy. Everyone can travel all over the world. Again!!! So exited
Thanks Sam. Really enjoyed watching this one. Singapore air is my favourite airline and the best airline in the world. I travelled with them once a year return Cape Town to Korea for 15 years. I only flew Singapore air. So nice to see Changi again.
Great video! I was pleasantly surprised to see a nonstop flight to Tel Aviv on the departure board. I didn’t expect that, but there’s always hope for peace.
Nice content sam i wish i could travel like u, keep it up. I love ur videos :)
Great cabin crew and nice plane, thanks sam for reflecting this for us, its seems like we traveled with you
Sam nails it on the head: consistency is the key to SQ's success (and to anyone else's for that matter), and discipline in the execution of their game plan through rigorous training. Last long haul SQ flight I took was EWR-SIN, and it was flawless (and peerless), from check-in at EWR to baggage delivery at Changi, every step of the way A fve star experience, always.
For a 2 Hr flight, the economy meal looked very good!
SQ has always been a leader in providing a quality product!
SQ....and I say this from personal experiences...is a carrier...that other airline's should take tip's from...every sphere of their services...be it on the ground...and in the air , is absolutely top notch...the crew are trained to deliver excellence in all classes of service...they do it really professionally and with real warmth... hat's off to this airline... thanks for sharing...!!
Hi Sam, only watched the video now, but I totally agree with your comments about Singapore Airline's consistent and discipled service. Whether onboard or in the airport, it's the same. I simply LOVE flying Singapore Airlines and it is simply the best experience to fly. Yeah, Emirates and other airlines are good too but SIA (for me) just has that edge above the rest. I just hope they'll reinstate the flights again from Wellington NZ to Singapore via Melbourne.
I really enjoy watching your videos and your honest sumnary of your experiences. Keep up the great work.
thank you Sam your videos are so amazing in flights and the kind of planes
So happy to see Sam show us the SQ experience again
Missed travelling on my fav airline. Looking forward to doing it again. Awesome video Sam!
Another lovely vlog Sam, thanks for the videos
I'm so glad to see you again and that you are well. I love your videos. Thank you!
As someone from Hong Kong, Cathay Pacific had once been my favourite airlines. But that position has long been taken over by Singapore and Emirates. I have yet to try Etihad once the pandemic eases.
是呀，國泰很多年前就很糟了，不過新航也不比以前咯，這個世界總沒以前美好，十幾年前最後一次去曼谷，發現泰國也變了，少了真誠，多了敷衍虛偽市儈
@@adamcylee這個向下的轉變日本更加明顯，為什麼？這個世界多了一批低質素的遊客！
@@ManlyHK1 哎呀西裝哥哥，你暗有所指，話中有話呀🤣
It is so nice to hear the announcement "end of the walkway" in bangkok again. Thanks for the nice video from the airports and airlines that we miss so much :-)
I can’t wait to fly to Singapore next year with my friend even more excited after seeing this video thanks Sam.
Very good video. Subscribed!
SQ and Scoot really dependable from hK to oz during covid-no sudden cancellations, overbooking, gouging etc. Fast refunds. CX the opposite but now ok. Kudos to SQ. Reliable.
I even got a sudden flight hk to oz at last minute in july, despite oz quotas.
Absolutely awesome experience singpapre airlines are a greatest airlines
Hi Sam just love your reviews and love your voice, find it soothing to listen to 😍
I love your channel! You make the bestest videos and make great explanation and you must have great experience!
I flew with sq 468 from sg to colombo... amazing hospitality services. It's one of a kinda, unlike any other airliners. I flew on a economy class seat, but let me tell u this, it was equlilent to a business or first class in cheap airline.had good food. Thank you SIA. fly high!
I be flying to Singapore on the 9 with Singapore airlines can't wait
Hey sam! Thanks so much for making these videos… I really love the videos when it’s you filming the videos… I wasn’t a big fan of “third person” camera angles in some of your past videos. But this video is soooo good! It was so Good to see Singapore again….
Good video Sam
Michelle the FA was cool
Back in 2000 we went to Taiwan on the Singapore "Megatop" 747-400. Business Class. (or Raffles Class as they called it) The service was absolutely second to none. On the way back we had to fly Economy but even so the service in Economy was still incredible. Best of all as Dad flew a lot for business at the time on Ansett, he was able to pay for the whole thing using his Global Rewards points, and I recall it didn't cost us a cent.
I thynk that Singapore airlinens It's the beat airline in the world!!!!
Good job SQ and keep success, very very proud of you served indonesian food on your flight.
Love SQ, glad to flight with SQ soon :)
Great video as always Sam!
Pls visit Mozambique next :)
Flew SQ back from Mel to SIN and service was excellent. Staff were super friendly and attentive.
Singapore Airlines is amazing. I flew them twice on the 30th of October - the 1st of November (LHR-SIN, SIN-AKL) on business class. Changi was crazy quiet, but great service and overall a great flight.
Nice video Sam 🥰🥰 Hopefully I could still fly to SIN in June for exchange so that I could take SQ for that trip. Wish things are working fine even under the Omicron pandemic.
Always great seeing your videos Sam! Stay safe!
Watching your videos makes me so eager for my next trip on a plane. With the whole pandemic thing it makes you realize how much people took travelling for granted and how much we miss it when we can't do it as freely. Singapore airline is definitely my favorite airline to travel on
Hey Sam hope you're fine... I have been a big fan of aviation since my childhood, it's really great to see someone out there doing such type of videos that I always wanted to know or see. But most of the people watching your videos are using economy class most of the time. Hope to see more contents on this class instead of higher luxury classes. That will really help a lot of people like me... Thanks... Keep moving...
if you’re flying economy any airline with the ideal time and fare will do. it’s only the premium flights where I think we need these to differentiate which carrier to choose
Your videos are amazing 👍👍👍
Nice flight report, Sam.
Looking forward if they would have business suites with enclosed door & partition on upcoming fleets ......🛫🤓
Love the A350. The most quiet plane I ever flew in.
Very nice thanks
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
Good video again, really a shame all those planes at a standstill. I also flew with Singapore Airlines on the a380. It was really a very good experience.
Maybe we will meet on a flight.
Enjoy flight 👍👍👍
Plane Travel .
And Singapore A380s are back between London and Changi. These flights started a week ago, daily ones.
Singapore airlines most luxurious airlines in this world
I am going to Singapore today so l also love your chsnnels, even Singapore airlines is the best
My wife and I always look to Singapore Airlines and the city itself as a stopover between MEL and LHR - just beautiful people!
Hi Sam, great to see you back the air. I was a regular traveller before COVID and am a little apprehensive now, I nearly booked a flight from SYD to the US for Jan but in the end decided against it. It would be really useful if your videos could include step by step the processes/forms that you are having to work through to depart and on arrival on your various trips to give us confidence that it is possible! Thank you
This will be different depending on nationality, location, where you are travelling too etc. Easiest way is check your countries government site and the one you want to fly to :)
Singapore airlines are top class and their country is spotless clean. Lovely people. 👍😊🇨🇮💙
Wow you made my day happy seeing Singapore airlines again I love that for the most of everything thanks my good friend you are awesome !!!!
Good to see you back. Love your videos
Best airlines ever👍
Yeah... but their standards are dropping as we see many downgrades here, and not very much is due to covid. No more menu cards printed... No pre-flight welcoming drink in business. Food being served in horrbile cardboard boxes in economy, and many other things they are doing that is a downgrade, and nothing to do with covid. Some lesser known airlines are doing better, even today.
@@phillipmaguire4671 oh, thanks for the information
Best airline
So happy to see your video on SQ. It's been too long. Happy safe travels and holiday season to you and family.
Great flight and service!
Interesting video as always.
Seems Singapore Airlines is cutting down on Food Options. Portions in economy seemed very small too. I guess you can blame all on COVID now.
Singapore airlines is anyday better than Emirates. Rest assured Emirates can never match their onboard passenger-friendly service, atleast not in the near future.
Big fan of Emirates, but my last week flight from dubai was disappointing, forgot to serve me food and when they did it nearly made me throw up a few times, although the aircraft and crew was awesome
Emirates airlines is far better than Singapore airlines !
@@Cingearth no
SQ crew has such authenticity in their warmth and service. Love them.
Qatar airways is far better than Singapore Airlines or Emirates Airlines !
Thank you for sharing
I feel before Covid, during Covid and after Covid Singapore Airlines is still a class of it's own. I ❤ Michelle.
Lovely journey,
plese come to bangladesh.
For choices, I always prefer to fly SIA for their excellent services and consistency. 😍
i recently flew singapore airlines it was a great experience
never had a chance to take a jumbo plane before..cant really afford.. can only watch it @ TH-cam...wish 1 day i could.....
thx Sam for all ur vidz.
Thanks Sam, for showing how Singapore Airlines has changed for Covid-19.
Singapore might have been very conservative about being endemic (as much as the government tries to move forward with it). VTLs have been on and off, extra restrictions put in when cases rise and now the omicron variant and all... But nice to see you flying again and all. Enjoy!
Ordering from electronic menus using QR codes has become common around the world, I think. However, I’ve wondered about people without smartphones. I know most people have them, but surely there are those who don’t.
Usually there are some paper menus available for people without smarrtphones.
I like those trendy looking clear spec
So cool!
You are 100% right about SIA, I love flying with them. Was looking forward to flying with them Jhb-Singapore-Manila in January ... and now Omicron, all flights cancelled and doors slammed in ur face.
It supposedly reopens on Jan 20th
Literally just flew home today on singapore airlines…was nice seeing so many people flying as well…but Changi was a bit quiet, but that might have been because it was nighttime at Changi. There were a lot of passengers though when it was closer to the flight times though. It was still a good flight, but was funny the weeks leading up thinking what are the rules again for international flying?!?!?! It’s been too long!
This is amazing I love this guy
Woo Love seeing the Singapore Airlines 🇸🇬 Airbus A350! Awesome it’s so beautiful! Great video Sam! You’re awesome…
😎🥂👍
Caleb
Absolutely awesome airline
Yeah... but their standards are dropping as we see many downgrades here, and not very much is due to covid. No more menu cards printed... No pre-flight welcoming drink in business. Food being served in horrbile cardboard boxes in economy, and many other things they are doing that is a downgrade, and nothing to do with covid.
For me it’s still the best
Sam pls try SQ’S 737 MAX, the regional fleet. Their Business Class product is extraordinary,especially the throne seat! So far the best Single-Aisle Business Class product, experience , and of course the Service
Thank you for the review 🙏 I’m going to Thailand this Christmas and first time fly with Singapore airline.
Great to see Mr Chui back flying the #1 Airline
