ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 20 เม.ย. 2022
- G’day OWFsquad, welcome to my 18th flight in 2022! On 17 April 2022, I flew Singapore Airlines A350’s premium economy class from Bangkok to Singapore. Note that Singapore Airlines doesn’t sell premium economy seats on this sector, so any seats available in the cabin are for eligible guests in economy to grab. Enjoy the video and please let me know in the comment if you have any questions or feedback.

I have had a Singapore Sling at The Raffles. It was memorable!
Thank you for the video! Have an amazing day!
Thanks Daniel, as always!!
I truly love your reviews, they are professional and informative. Look forward to the next one very soon.
thanks Peter! I’m glad you enjoy watching them!
Yes Jayden definitely can’t wait for you to start posting hotel reviews alongside flights.
Sudden and severe rain - thats how I remember Singapore 😎
HAHA The thunderstorms were mad that evening!! Thank you!
Hi Jayden thank you for the video. That was good to get an upgrade. The food looked real good. Good to see your going to make a video on hotel.
thanks Maureen! Working on the hotel vid now :)
Thank You for the Video... I Enjoyed !!!
thanks Ron! I’m glad :)
Amazing review, Jayden! I was surprised that Premium Economy seats are not for sell between BKK and SIN, but glad you were upgraded to a good seat. I didn't know either the story behing the cocktail you had, so thanks for those little details. I think the food on board must have been really delicious because it was prepared in Thailand and food is fantastic there! It was so nostalgic to see Suvarnabhumi airport and makes me miss it. Gardens by the Bay are impressive at night and more agical; I only saw it by day and I was already impressed. Hotel reviews? I'm all for it! Keep the good work Jayden :)
yep not for sale, so if they suddenly throw in a long haul configured aircraft onto this route, frequent fliers are in for a treat :)
Business class guests get wider seats too!
Working on the hotel video now!
it was good you had an upgrade to premium economy seat, to compare between the two. the food look delish and so did the Singapore Sling.. lol. shame you got a window seat with mainly the huge wing covering the views, but you could see some. I really love how you show us some of the interesting places in the country you have just landed. those lit up buildings looked awesome. thank you for the report... loved it.
thanks Den! Those lit up buildings were the ‘supertree’ of Gardens by the Bay :)
Great review of SIA’s premium economy class Jayden! Good to get a glimpse of it before my flight in 2 week’s time. Also hope you enjoyed your visit in Singapore!
thanks mate! I certainly enjoyed my time there :)
Lovely flight. Premium Economy Class for this flight length is perfect! Finally, as always, I love 12:10 😉
Thank you for a wonderful video .
Yay, love the SQ A350! Safe travels Jayden and see you back in Aus soon! 😊🤗✈️🌏
Thanks Steph! finally have a mel trip booked for June🤣
@@JaydenWong bring your puffer jacket! 😝
another great video thanks
thanks Peter!!
You are absolutely right Jay about that extra seat room And extra inch makes all the difference between pleasure and pain.
yep! like 9 vs 10 abreast in economy!
Nice review. Thanks!
thank you!
Great video J. Wished there was more about what there is to do and see in Singapore. Maybe next time
yes next vlog there’ll be more :)
Always a great video!!!!
thank you mate😁😁
@@JaydenWong waiting for the next one !
Lovely trip report again Jaydennnn
thank you!!
The SQ in-flight safety video will never get old. I love it so much :)
Yep and the music so soothing!!
So true, it’s unique and really relaxing.. 😎
Good to see you're out and about again :) That chicken looked really tasty
thanks mate!!
that's exactly the seat I will be sitting from Singapore to Bangkok and Bangkok back to Singapore. thank you for showing this.
amazing! have a good flight Paul!
I used to really enjoy intra Asian flights, but it looks like there have been many cutbacks. The glory days of the 80s & 90s are long gone, alas. Lots of happy memories and humorous arguments of CX vs SQ among friends. Keep up the good work OWF.
Haha yes Anthony! The arguments about CX vs SQ still happens today within my circle of friends 🤣 While the service and hospitality are still present, the food and other soft products have definitely been cut…
@@JaydenWong I always favoured cx myself, but secretly admit that SQ is really good. Hoping that CX and HKG return strong!
Yeah when TG cut costs so much it's sad that even at their home base the lounge is sad looking! SQ I feel also sad that jsut becos of cost cutting took away the silver cutlery. It's to me really sad even our menu were such classy stuff and yet took away that too. I hate to admit our locals forget how tough it is to serve esp short haul flights and yet they keep calling for service. I always try my best not to disturb the FAs. Pls Singaporeans don't press the bell unless you really need to. Help yourselves if you can . It's tough for short flights becos I got friends who are FAs and really it's a nightmare for them to deliver the kind of SQ standards we are proud of. Thank you. Didi welcome to Singapore as always. ❤️🇸🇬
LOLL love the second half of your comment. Uploading my SIN ADL flight soon. Sadly no menu, welcome drinks and hot towels :/
I like how SQ upgraded you to premium as it shows the quality of their service. Interesting to see the TG colours fading on all those stored aircraft on the ground. Hotel reviews would be awesome I encourage you to do it!
#fattoiletsquad
exactly!! so sad to see :/ thanks Dave!!
I really enjoyed watching this. Its ignited my desire to fly again. The food looked lovely. I always love Singapore Airlines.
Great review and handsome host 😀 Thank you.
thanks for watching Paul! Fly again soon please! 😁
wow! nice traveling video! i love singapore airline! i
didnt know they dont use plastic plate anymore!
Watched it this morning on Facebook, Great video! You got a good upgrade as well. A hotel review would be interesting 🤔
I definitely second the Hotel Review please for the Hilton Garden Inn Singapore.
nice video, thanks for review
my pleasure! Thank you!
economy Classic feeling business class .. its really amazing ..Singapore forever best ...❤🇰🇷🇰🇷
thanks for watching mate!
Good up the good job 👏🏻 👍🏻
thanks Sean!!
I went to Singapore three years ago and had a wonderful time. I'll definitely go there again.
Yes I always go back haha! Not far from Hong Kong and Australia
@@JaydenWong I also did Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur while I was in the 'hood, absolutely loved them all.
Very nice ! 👍
thank you!!
The chicken looks somewhat like duck. 💁🏼♂️
Lovely trip report, Jayden.
Including the shiny metal coat hukes.
😘
Haha it does! I think they used dark soy sauce to cook the chicken. Thanks Stevo!!
great video
thank you!
Congrats on 50,000k subs Jayden!
I am currently at LAX on a mini-vacay plane spotting. The government finally opened everything up and now no masks 😷 are required on planes or in airports fyi. Great video as always ❤️👍✈️
Yep I heard!! Without warning too haha how brilliant!! Can’t wait for Australia to do the same. In my state now, only in airports and public transport (but not other indoor areas) I have to wear them
@@JaydenWong the CDC and Dr. Fauci is trying to get the ruling overturned lol 😂
That is so awesome no more masks on flights👍
Loved your video, would love you to review some hotels! Singapore Airlines never really fails
Thanks Julie! My first hotel video is out!
Greetings from HK! i also stayed in Hilton Garden Inn back in 2019. Such an authentic experience living in Little India area. Can't wait for your hotel
report
thanks Calvin! :)
From the video it seem true that the lounge is quite sad. However, The lounge @ D concourse is so great in my opinion. There are lots different from the concourse E lounge such as a view , food or seating(maybe because I haven't been to a concourse E lounge for a long time). So maybe next time u visiting BKK again make sure you check out there. Looking forward to see that vid Jayden!
Definitely, I only had 1 hour transit so I didn't have time to check out the other ones like Thai in concourse D and Turkish. Thanks mate!
HiJayden, another good video. It’s good to see SQ using their A350 on the SIN-BKK route. I flew that route in 2019, when they were still using their A330’s , which were in the process of being phased out. I think they were only a two class layout.Singapore offered me an upgrade to business class between $270-$400 SGD, but I declined it. Enjoyed your stay in BKK? Are there any special requirements for flying into Thailand (besides a negative Covid test)?
oh wow I would decline the upgrade offer too haha. SQ A330s are gone for good now so all business seats (except for the ones from old silk air) should be the new ones.
Yea BKK was good but entry a bit of a hassle if you test positive 😂 For now you’ll need a Thai Pass and book a test and go package with an eligible hotel (car ride to hotel, PCR test). Test and go should drop from May 1
Singapore Airlines are decent! I just landed on a flight from Singapore to London onboard their A380 4 hours ago!
Nice seat. Need to try their premium economy sometimes 😁😁😁
great job
thank you!!
Lucky to find your video. I'd be flying on 32A seat as well soon.. Looking forward to the seat and service but not the new food :(
Thanks for the review...
thanks for watching! I hope you enjoy your flight with SQ!
I am so jealous lol ... SIN, BKK, HKG and ICN are my favourite airports to visit. I usually take Cathay from SIN-BKK. That storm video was great too !
thanks for watching!! I would’ve flown CX if they were available!!!
Very nice
Congrats on 50K!!! Nice report, looks good :)
thanks Alex!!
Yed please do more hotel reviews and vids of you at locations like Singapore and everywhere else u go
more coming soon!
You may make another playlist of hotel reviews since you’ve always been traveling.
yep haha I'll give it a go
Hey I was there too just got back to Australia this week. That thunder and rain was on Sunday the 17th right?
Yes sunday!! were you there still?
I miss Singapore
You get around my friend
i do hahaha
Nice movement shot at 5:53.
thank you!
Long time no see 😄
Nice trip report, hoping to visit Singapore soon. In the past, when I visit Hong Kong, I always visit the Shake Shack at IFC Mall, mainly because of the views of Victoria Harbor. Do you have any tips on making trip reports?
HAHAHA YES love the shake shack at ifc, always soo busy though. For tips, just keep trying! Be patient, don’t be afraid to retake a bad shot
@@JaydenWong I once waited in the rain because at that time Shake Shack was new and I was dying to try it
Nice
thanks!!
Interesting that Singapore Airlines don't sell premium economy as a separate fare on BKK - SIN, but I suppose there are enough locally based passengers with FF status to fill that cabin. However, they do sell all three travel classes as a 5th freedom flight on the tail leg sectors Milan - Barcelona and Rome - Copenhagen. Would like to try one of those sometime.
Even in a box, the lunch service looked quite designer boutique. I was wondering whether the spoon and fork might be bamboo rather than wood, but maybe not.
I've always preferred the more intimate atmosphere of the Royal Orchid Lounge and even the TG domestic lounge, but as other people have mentioned the more recent TK lounge is also pretty good.
Thanks again, Jayden for another engaging report. Hope you are fully recovered from Covid now.
Probably due to the extra catering costs an extra dedicated cabin crew for the Premium Economy passengers didn’t justify the price increase over the cost of a standard economy seat. Flew that route in 2019, when they were still using the A330, which was a two cabin configuration ( Business & Economy).
normally they use a regional aircraft for this route that doesn't have premium economy. So if they roster a long haul aircraft onto this route they will upgrade some lucky economy guests to premium :)
Their intra-European flights come from Singapore so it's 100% a long haul aircraft :)
@@JaydenWong I did see on flight radar24 the were using the B787-9 last year(SIN-BKK) They also use that plane on SIN-PER flights, and they also used to fly the A330 to Perth.
This might have been asked, but how is the wing obstruction? From the seat map, the premium economy seats are about above the plane wings. Wouldn't this sort of block a log of the view at the window seat? I know being on the wing or more forward of the plan it's a bit quieter. Just don't like that it has block views for the price. Also, the foot rest didn't seem to help much for you (it nearly touch your legs). Did this help?
Hi there, yes sadly for a lot of single deck aircraft, premium economy happens to be right above the wing.
I usually don't use the footrest because my feet would then be touching the seat in front. I only use it if there is more space (or legroom) between my seat and the one in front
Love it congrats from California USA 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸love your video I am from Costa Rica 🇨🇷
Thanks Javier! Greetings from Adelaide Australia 🇦🇺 :) I’m from Hong Kong 🇭🇰
Hi Jayden, so sorry to hear that you caught Covid. This trip report is a little more difficult to work out. I was expecting Adelaide to Singapore after your previous reply to me. Now I am left to wonder how far you have been? (Bahrain to Bangkok on Gulf Air?), & the latest upload of Bangkok to Singapore. I'd be really really interested to hear what you thought of the Hilton Garden Inn in Singapore please? I've thought of using it a few times now, but ended up at Conrad Centennial Singapore & InterContinental Singapore instead. Well done on the upgrade to Premium Economy with a Window seat!. You really should be a travel writer, your trip reports are just brilliant. I'm also sure that the Covid exemption in Bangkok & Singapore put your mind at rest, even if not pleasant catching it earlier. I really love flying with Singapore Airlines. I am planning the next trip now. I just need Japan to open up real soon. Thank again.
SIN ADL is being uploaded now :) will be published on May 19. Blogs are something on my agenda. but for now, working on making weekly hotel and flight videos :)
Nice video Jayden, I really wanna fly Singapore airlines and international again now, seeing these videos is killing me hahah. Great video!
Cmon book that air nz😜
You should do travel vlogs with hotels, food, sites experiences like once a month
hotels coming weekly!!
Watch out for the triglycerides in that chicken skin in the meal Jayden!
Good video too!
Haha will do!! it’s a treat for me haha. thanks for watching!!
Did they provide an Amenity kit for this flight?
Any chance you might do a cairns to Singapore flight vlogg
unlikely for the next few months. But i’m keen to fly that route because if 737 too!
come to melbourne would love to meet a person like you
I go there so often!
@@JaydenWong see you in melbourne
Right now I am on a qantas 737 from Gold Cost to Melbourne
Someone may have already told you but the movie your seat neighbor was watching was Suicide Squad. Great Vid!
yep haha! Thanks for watching :)
Cutie 🙂. Love your videos
thanks Charlie!!😁
Did you check out Little India as well?
i sure did!
im about to hop on 18 hour flight from JFK to Singapore....hope premium economy is good
wow have fun!
I’ve never been lucky enough to get a free upgrade but i still love Singapore airlines and am looking forward to flying with them again in October from Brisbane to Delhi. I made the mistake of flying with another airline once and my journey was awful. I’ll not make that mistake again!
amazing I hope you enjoy your flights with SQ (again!)
I think you have been to the wrong TG lounge, I think theres a better one at BKK
You should try Business Class at the 737-8. For me thats best product on a single aisle plane for short haul
I only had about 15 mins for the lounge so I didn’t have time for the main lounge :)
Miss vacation to SE Asia so muchhhhh.😭
right!!!
Not sure if you heard this, normal SQ PEY catering is no better than in economy as the main courses are mostly the same (just that there's a 3rd main course option and choice of bread, and option to do book the cook from selected cities). Took SQ PEY once and it's worth it for long haul, but not worth it for short and mid-haul. Glad you enjoyed the seat, and I guess the A350's one is slightly more comfy than the one on the A380 and B77W!
I’m very aware of that haha. Short haul is same same. Boarding pass shows economy too. On long haul sometimes one more main option and better presentation. But tbf business is the same sometimes. SQ have nasi lemak in both cabins. Thanks for watching!!
Bangkok remains me of that 80s song
As I know the A350-900 in SQ has three different configurations, last time I took from SIN-SZX just only 2 class-business and economy
This is what I experienced on my trip just before Jayden. One trip was VTL 20 passengers. The non VTL was 45-50% full. Yes just the two classes also on my flight.
A359😂?
Ok I know you meant 359 and you are not wrong
I really like the SQ lounge in Bkk its a lot better than the one in Singapore
thank you! Singapore was nice but too busy!
Just booked SQ F LAX NRT SIN then J to Bali :)
fabulous 😍😍😍
Best airline in the world.
definitely one of the best!!
SQ does not sell premium economy class on this flight. The agent simply relocate you to a premium economy class seat with economy class service. If you are non-status member, you can pre-purchase those PEY seats online...
yep I assume they'll call it extra legroom seats haha
Jayden, u should totally try SQ to Davao. They just launched on April Fool's Day, but trust me, it's true. They relaunched the SG-DVO-CEB route which was operated by the deceased SilkAir.
So if it was previously with silk air, then all those flights will be on ex-silk air planes ( B737 or A321) which have been rebranded as SIA. So they will all be on narrow body planes.
@@paulsz6194 Yes, exactly. All flights are operated by the 737-800, in which SQ integrated from the SilkAir merger.
Can't imagine the chicken rice cooked really nice and yummy. Jayden which night view is the best Hong Kong, London or Singapore?.
Day and night Hk for me haha, more buildings and tsing ma bridge is cool!
@@JaydenWong Good Man!
Hongkong for sure, but second is Rio de Janeiro
We were unlucky when coming back to Adelaide from Bangkok through Singapore in early 2020, had booked our flights to allow a few hours at Changi airport to check out Jewel. However, our plane had been delayed a few hours (we saw another SIA plane land and takeoff haha, also spending so much time at Suvarnabhumi with little AC really gets boring after a while). Apparently some delay in the Phillipines due to volcano or something like that. We literally had to run to catch our flight back to Adelaide at Singapore.
Ahh interesting, lucky you made it for the Adelaide flight! It’s not a frequent service so otherwise they might re route you Perth or Melbourne. Thanks for watching!
That's looks a decent seat and meal on that flight. You were lucky to get the upgrade.
18:12 Omg, you can tell that the Singapore airline customers are so demanding that they pressed the call button after it lands 🤣
Lucky you got upgraded to PE :)
😂😂
Haha! Dude, you must be really pressed to notice that, I don't see anything wrong with that. You gotta take a chill pill and relax. Lol!
One of life's great mysteries, of the many hundreds of thousands of coat-hooks installed, does anyone ever use them?
A minority does. More people get arrested onboard than people using coat hooks🤣🤣🤣
But Jayden you didn't fly from Vietnam to Bangkok via Bahrain, or did you🤔🤔
Did you expect any different from a guy who flew from HKG to ADL via DOH/LHR/FRA/HND/SYD? 😁
Hi Gilbert. It was Hanoi-Bangkok-Bahrain-Bangkok-Singapore
Aris OMG HAHAAH
I expect more legroom in Premium Economy, so in my opinion, I think this is not the best, but overall it's still a good flight.
agree :)
Flying is already a blessing
"Cant wait to taste it" me to
Fully agree Jayden - SQ premium econ isn't worth it. NZ is much better. But you couldn't say that for business class could you? :) An informative review as always.
I flew SIN ADL in business after a couple of days in Singapore, the video will be available in 2 weeks time :)
Do we get pre departure on Singapore Airlines premium economy because everyone in premium economy gets a pre departure drink on a 5 star airline?
Don’t think they ever have or will do pre-departure drinks even after the recent enhancement
Did A380 Premium Economy just 6 weeks ago Singapore Sydney ....I'll give you my review..
I slept the entire flight ..My wife woke me up after breakie 😂😂
😂😂😂 sounded like a good flight
I want to see you in Bangkok 😍
😁I always visit
@@JaydenWong I am so happy 😍
Always try your luck because it could be your lucky day 😅
absolutely!!
The movie that the person sitting next to you is The Suicide Squad (latest one)
aight thanks!!
I forgot to ask did you catch Covid in Australia or were you overseas? Did this delay your trip at all back to Australia?
overseas- arrival test in thailand. Yes had to cancel Phuket and replaced it with Singapore haha!
@@JaydenWong I'll take Singapore over Phuket, but the hotels cost a lot more in Singapore. So what happened?. Did you have to quarantine in Thailand after the Positive Test result? (Yes you guessed it, I am also looking at Thailand after the May 1 relaxing of restrictions. I'm not too keen to get stuck there in quarantine though.) Like you already wrote, Japan is taking too long.
I love Bangkok
I have just booked eco seat and pay 1800 bath upgrade to front row premium eco seat. It is better to pay to guarantee a seat for me 😏
For Southeast Asia which includes 🇵🇭 Japan China Hong Kong and Taiwan where would you put the Singapore Airlines Premium economy seat? For me it's better than PR comfort Class and at the same time it's designed with the world's longest flights SQ21/23 EWR/JFK-SIN
i really like Cathay’s older premium found on 777. Then maybe Singapore’s premium or Cathay A350
its funny how we ate at the exact same shake shack lol
So scary walking on that bridge while there's an ongoing thunder. 🥺🥺🥺
Ohhhh thank god there’s cover at least but ik what you mean!!
