Give me Singapore Airlines any day ! And welcome to Perth !
Rob and Charley keep this saying in mind this trip. You go to a country once and you’re just visiting. You go twice and your coming home. Good luck….hahaha!
Haha
Welcome back!
welcome back to Australia i hope you enjoy your holiday all the best
Ohhhhhhh Noooo they let you both back in to Australia ha ha ha. Enjoy guys
Big mistake Aussie authorities made 🤣
@@CharlieandRob I’m sure you would have been fine Charlie…. It’s Rob that look’s suspect ha ha ha
Yeah, there's that famous Aussie sarcasm. 🤣
@@TanyaDolan you’re welcome. Ha ha ha
Oh wow. You used Swan Valley Tours when you got to Perth. I have used him before. Greg is great. Like a gentle giant with stacks of local knowledge.
Yes a lovely bloke
Welcome to Perth. No surprise about QANTAS. They have really been on the nose lately but the leprechaun has gone and hopefully they will improve. If you are still in Perth we turned on the British weather for you. Pretty shitty out there. Make sure you go to Kings Park during the day and at night, it is a great view. Apart from that, get out of the city. 😁
Welcome back to Australia. I hope you find some better weather than your previous trip.
Airline food looks pretty good for economy. If I win the lotto I will buy you first class tickets for next year. I think they offer cider in first class, but the menu varies with each route.
I hope our rain is gone by the time you get to Perth, we have had some pretty wild weather today.
They arrived yesterday.
haha I have a feeling you wont win the lotto @@Kev_Newman
@@JohnSmith-ci7qo Yeah, I realised that a bit further into the video. At least they got one nice day, the next few look pretty awful.
It was an absolute pleasure showing you guys around our beautiful city, shame about the weather but I think we ended up making the best of the situation.
If any one is coming to Perth, please look us up and we'll happily show you around too.
Thanks so much for helping us out Greg!
I liked this, and will keep you in mind. For sure When I finally get around to travelling 🧳 from Tassie to WA.
@@CharlieandRobbet you got a happy ending in the hotel 😅😅😅
So sensible flying with Singapore Airlines !
Welcome back. Brilliant weather waiting for you in Adelaide.
Enjoy your trip.
Yes I see were going to get 30c! ☀️
Welcome back to Australia, and to my home town, Perth! I couldn't make it to the meet and greet as I was working late, but I hope you have an enjoyable time here.
Qantas aren't known for their catering, I'd say. I've flown with them a few times, and I don't think I've had a memorable meal. I've also had those powdery eggs before! Conversely, I've only heard good things about the catering from Singapore Airlines. I haven't flown Singapore Airlines in over 20 years, but I have flown with them before and they are generally excellent.
My personal airline of choice, though, is Cathay Pacific, although word is they've gone backwards with their standards in the last few years since I've flown with them.
Singapore Airlines the best by far only airline I fly with enjoy
Don’t worry mate everything’s been taken care of. I called ahead to Australia and informed them you have half a kilo strapped to your large intestine. I bet you weren’t expecting that kind of Aussie “friendliness”!! You’re welcome! Waaaaa!! 😂😂😂😂
Welcome back cobber.Hopefully catch you crazy kids when youre in Melbs. Missed out last year due to work.
Work should come second place haha
Welcome back to Australia. Singapore Airlines are always my choice they are always pretty good
Welome back!!!!!!
Pre-Covid the QANTAS meals were created by a top chef and they were great. Then...
We did the QANTAS Australia/Singapore trip four time a year for five years. We learnt the only way to go was the A380.
Yea was very smooth on a380 minus a bit over Indian Ocean.
welcome back guys . alot better weather this time , fingers crossed .
If you fly singapore, you can do a stop over flight get two days free accomadation from them , there cool and makes the trip so much better
Free accommodation!? Really?!
@@CharlieandRob Yes, even a tour of Singapore if your stopover is 8hrs or more and arrives in the morning.
SQ is really a step above, one of my favourite airlines.
Hi Rob & Charley , Welcome to my home town. We now live in Cairns, but I fly home regularly. Great place
Welcome back guys...I hope you leave some breathing space on this whirlwind tour..save journey around Australia..ENJOY..!!
Pretty sure that the meals you get on your flight is prepared at the departure city. So what you ate on the way to Singapore was prepared in the UK by the catering company there.
Welcome back, hope enjoy your stay again 😎😊🇦🇺
We will certainly try and make the most of our time here 😁
Good to see you back. I've flown Qantas to Europe at least 3 times and Singapore Air about 8 so what does that tell you? 😂 I also love Changi airport. Tip for sleeping on planes. Neck cushion os essential! If yr neck is holding yr head up, how will you sleep? Eyemask ✔️ Earplugs✔️
I tried those things last year without success. Its hard to switch off on a long flight.
@CharlieandRob ok, all that means is yr not relaxed. You can't relax if your neck has any tension at all. Concentrate on it. Use an inflatable neck pillow and keep taking air out until you can drop yr head sideways, and it acts like a pillow. You should have no control of your neck at all. It's an artform! 😂Earplugs in, block everything out, and if you truly relaxed you WILL fall asleep. Also, take some Panadol. Never take Sleepers, its an unnatural sleep, but Panadol knocks me out. It's worth a shot.
Welcome to Oz!
Welcome to Perth guys hope you love our city!
Welcome back to Aus guys. I haven’t flown much, but I’ve flown enough to know Singapore leaves Qantas for dead in my opinion. In fact, everyone leaves Qantas for dead. Even the Asian regional airlines!
Yea you are spot on
I think the board should have a clean out and start all over again
Welcome back ! I see there is already sunshine for you 😊
Welcome back Kotter ~ I mean Charlie & Rob. Just at the end there as you asked Charlie about the flight it hit me who else Charlie reminds me of. Anna Karen from one of my all time favourite British comedies “On the Buses”. In the words of Tim Wonnacott “ nighty night “
I'm not sure if that is a compliment on Charlie haha
@@CharlieandRob 😁😁 Anna was a favourite of mine in the show so yes it’s a compliment 😄
I visited Australia in 2019, but did not get to Western Australia. I’m planning a trip there in March 2025, and will be flying to Perth from Melbourne. For my international flights, I’ll be using Air New Zealand since they fly non stop New Zealand to Chicago where I live. When I get on a long haul flight I immediately set my watch to the time at my destination. Looking forward to other clogs from you to see what you visit in Australia!
So glad to hear you're visiting Western Australia in 2025. How long are you here for? It's a huge state with lots to see but a lot of space in between. I finally got to The Kimberley in the north west earlier this year even though I've lived here more than half my life. Even if you don't get there look online at Broome, the Bungle Bungles and Horizontal Falls although there's a lot more to it. The south west of the state has a lot to offer too. Enjoy your time here. 😊
@@heatherfruin5050 I’m planning on 7 days, not including my arrival and departure days. I’m a solo traveler in my 70’s so will be researching either a group land tour, or doing day trips/tours from Perth. It’s fun researching possibilities! And TH-cam is a wonderful resource.❤️
Good time to head over, its just starting to warm up. So you should get some great weather.
When ever I have cider I always make sure it's a Dickins, because nothing beats a Dinkins cider.
Welcome to my home town, Perf!! Try the wineries/Breweries/distilleries on West Swan Road. Many eateries as well. Enjoy! (Sorry about the weather.....)
Welcome back Charlie and Rob love bluey
For us in Singapore, taking SQ even for economy class is an upgrade from any other airlines's economy class. The one thing that seldom fails flying with SQ is the help you can get when you ask for something from the cabin crew, they are always willing to help and assist with a positive attitude. I once flew a long haul overnight flight and I just couldn't sleep. Every 30 mins I will ask for a drink and not once the crew shows any hint of annoyance. He even invite me to come to the galary to select a range of snack if I ever feel hungry.
I must say those meals looked so yummy 😋. I flew hawaiian airlines in July and I didn't rate their meals at all 😕. I did a Virgin long haul premium economy 3 years ago and their meals were great 👌.
Yea I assume food gets better and better as you go up the class
Great seat choice, nobody annoying behind you! 👍 Checked in with your mothers! 👍 Prawn salad and water! 👍 Pasta, icecream, omelette, pasta, bread, fresh fruit! Lots of prawns! 😋👍 1st food vlog done! 😁👍
Welcome back guys! I hope you have a really great time down here, love the channel.
Thank you!
These companies need to learn that people love the A380. The 787 is just a dingy little tub that definetly wouldn't be comfortable for such a long flight.
To be fair, the 787 from Singapore to Perth was mostly same comfort as the a380. Maybe a few inches less leg room
You're back! Have fun.
Welcome back you two, have a great stay.
Welcome , glad to see you made it safely, and I'm looking forward to your vlogs
Woohoo!
7:00 I've found that Asian breakfasts are foods that Westerners would have for dinner. If you ever travel to within Asia, you will find that hotels that don't offer a 'Western style' breakfast only offer things like noodles, rice, etc. Edited to Add: South East Asia and China. Different again in Middle East and probably Japan/Korea
Welcome back officially guys. The vlogs have started... yay! Hope you're both enjoying Perth so far. Have a cider on me Rob. Til the next one... cheers x
Thank you Melissa! Very kind of you! ❤️
I liked and subscribed guys 🎉 I’ve watched plenty of your video blogs and thought time to subscribe to these guys.
Because i like ya blogs of course😊 Honestly like the relaxed manner and the way you put a lot of thought in to your opinion on what you’re about to say explaining things in a decent way is brilliant, you get your opinion and message across with a true realness and in a certain context and manner as to say this is only my personal view and opinion and not necessarily the right opinion.
That’s really respectful and honest looking forward to seeing more of you guys 🍻if you’re looking for a team to follow in wafl Western Australia football league. The mighty Royals the East Perth football club. Makes sense you’re poms east Perth are named the Royals est 1902 one of the most historically clubs in Australian football 121 years old
The wafl is the second level from afl
Thanks! Appreciate it :)
I came back from a 6 week visit to Germany 3 weeks ago. (Walked through the Elbe tunnel with my sister also 👍)
Went by Etihad Airways... I just checked that next years economy flight by Singapore Airlines will be about $500 cheaper.
Looks like I will be changing airlines. 😁
And yes... we had crying babies also.
Yes this year's flights were a lot more than last year's!
Fantastic! Welcome back.
sydney , were having a week of good weather coming up , 30 degree days , sunny . just letting you know 😛
Singapore Airlines has a very good reputation; the food looks very good. Getting the VIP treatment mate...Welcome back ☺
Hi ya, I am an Aussie and hate flying QANTAS internationally, I much prefer Singapore or Thai.
Check out Rotto and the quokkas if you get a chance. If you want a bush walk not to far from Perth try the 60 ft falls in the Perth Foothills. All the wild flowers are out now - just wear long pants.
Unfortunately, we desperately wanted to go but the bad weather on Tuesday was so bad and the ferries were also cancelled Thursday do the the waves and wind
The food looked pretty good for plane food 🥘
tell you the truth, as an Australian, when ever possible, I'll try to avoid Qantas that's over 3,4 hours flight time. Singapore Airline, ANA and Cathy Pacific, our pick
Your vlog just popped up so thought we would give it a view. We went the exact same route in November with Singapore Airlines. We went out on the first flight to Singapore and had a 3 hour lay over in Singapore before heading to Perth.We were lucky to go business class, having saved out for 3 years, never flown business before. For us the best experience was on the Singapore to Perth section as it was a more modern plane, mind you I was asleep for most of it. Now going to watch the rest of the series, currently watching you at the optus stadium, we did the tour with the same guide, although she was observing a trainee guide.
Oh how I dream of doing business class long haul. Well welcome and hope you enjoy our videos 😌
Welcome back guys!!!
When you're in Perth, will you visit Rottnest Island ?
We were going to do that today but weather is awful! So hoping to do it tomorrow before we head to Adelaide
@@CharlieandRob Ah, you brought the UK weather with you, I see a trend here. Yesterday was beautiful.
@@CharlieandRob I think originally the first people that went there called it "Ratsnest Island" because they thought the animals on the island looked like rats. But they're Quokkas.
SQ is an airline, that really looks into minute details...and take passenger feedback very seriously...lots of other " glamorous" carriers...spend huge sums on marketing and advertising...but their products / service don't live up to the hype...or fares that one pays...( And having travelled a lot...in various classes of service...on different carriers...say this from personal experience...of course it's my personal opinion... others may differ... that's fine..) Nice trip report... good luck to the both of you... thanks for sharing...!!
Sydney is about to heat up so hope you have brought your beach ware.
Charlie, if you like Fixer Upper, you will love Fixer to Fabulous. Hopefully they show that on SIA. If not, it’s on Aussie tv station 94 on Wednesday night at 8.30pm. Enjoy your trip…Adelaide has got really good above average spring weather at the moment. 😊 ☀️
SIA have amazing food and service….much better than Qantas which feels disloyal saying but it’s true. Never fly Qantas overseas.
You've gotta be wearing Timbs to jag a free upgrade !
Haha very true. I don't think timberlands would suit me 🤣
Welcome back Rob and Charlie, I hope your visit is as good or better than last years holiday.
I would say hopefully warmer... but today has been awful weather
@@CharlieandRob ahh thats because of a storm front in perth but its going to be a very warm week in melbourne in the mid 20's until next wednesday
Hey guys, spewin I missed your meet and and greet, fallen very sick atm, got chronically dehydrated and can hardly walk, Only thing Qantas can boast about is their perfect safety record, which is the main thing right, price and service has gone to shit, plus all the insider turmoil they are dealing with atm with the CEO and how they handled staff. No commercial airplane has gone down. Last crash was 1951.
It all went to sh!t when they offshored all their servicing to save a buck.
They did have an accident in Bangkok(?) awhile ago. Basically over shot the runway in the rain.
Plane was extensively damaged and supposedly not cost effective to repair and should have been broken up for parts etc. However Qantas rebuilt it so they could claim they had never lost an airframe and maintained their perfect safety record
Bet you loved changi airport, big huge and love it
Yea unfortunately we saw very little of it. We wanted to at least see the waterfall but not enough time
I only watched your Qantas flight last night & gee wizz it did get better -cheers
Haha Singapore was much better. I felt Qantas were more active at keeping passengers happy but quality better on singapore
Welcome Back You Two ❤
I'm actually excited for ya's 😘
Welcome Back
Welcome back to God's country guys
Singapore Trumps everything on Qantas ! But now with Paddy gone ( aka Alan Joyce) we all hope all aspects of Qantas' service will improve...
The trip gets easier. I've done it many times.
It would be easier straight away in business 🤣
due to weight and contractual agreements with different companies they can only carry a certain amount and brand of beverages
Welcome back guys.. so soon!!
Whats the itinerary this time? Some new sites? You getting to Radelaide?
Another day in Perth, then Adelaide, Hobart, brissy, Melbourne and leaving from sydney
Welcome home.. a I mean back
Haha!
Commenting as I watch!
2:40 So glad those seats recline, on some airlines the back row doesn't. I got stuck in the middle of the back row on one of those airlines and it was an awful flight.
I would have liked a few degrees more of recline haha
Welcome back! Can’t wait to catch up in Melb.
Welcome back Rob and Charlie. ❤
Welcome back to Oz!
another bloody Pommy invasion.. ha ha... BIG AUSSIE WELCOME,,, enjoy and have funnnnn. looking forward to your vlogs
Yea but we're the best type of Poms... were southerners 🤣
I definitely prefer Singapore and got to pick my seats 3 times till I got open seats on the top deck
Should have a night stop in Singapore each way.
Yea we should. However, with only 3 weeks in Aus, we wanted to get here asap
Good video guys. I hope Singapore Airline's give you a discount great promo for them. Have a good sleep and a great time
Maybe they will see this and upgrade us to business on way home! Haha I doubt it
Last time I flew that route on Singapore Airlines, I took the late evening flight. They served food and drinks at the start, then turned off all the lights for most of the flight and only turned them back on for the last hour and second meal service.
I never sleep on planes, so I just read and watched the videos the whole time. I went up to the galley to chat with the flight attendants and get a drink and a snack a couple of times during the flight while almost everyone else slept.
yea thats exactly what I did. Even just to stretch the legs
Glad you are back, looking forward to Rottnest island.
Gotta say it - BAAAAAAGGGGGEEEERRRRRS!
Ferries have stopped for tomorrow! Extremely gutted! Cant justify $530 for a few hours with a flight
Loved this one ☝️ Wow 🤩 thank you for showing another way a new way to travel 🧳 to Australia 🇦🇺 From 🇬🇧. Because I was really wondering what the difference might be like. Especially heading to Sydney, instead of Melbourne. The food 🍱 looked reasonably decent.
I am so enjoying catching up on videos I missed.😊
Welcome back !
Enjoy your stay
It'll be interesting to compare these UK to AU flights with the upcoming Project Sunrise A350-1000ULR
WTF does Project Sunrise A350-1000ULR mean?
@@vtbn53 QANTAS is buying a special run of Airbus A350-1000 aircraft with the fuel capacity increased to enable Ultra Long Range flights. London to Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane direct or to New York from the Aussie Cities direct . So much quicker than going via another airport and waiting for a connecting flight. Plus seats will be much bigger and more leg room. Google 'Project Sunrise' with that magical thing in your hand, no the other hand
@@brettt8246 Hang on it will still be gay right? I will believe when I see it.
Its the flight direct from London to Sydney @@vtbn53
@@vtbn53The Gay Irishman CEO has been sacked (with a $120m parachute) from QANTAS, so you're safe!
Well got home and are watching but just to remind you Rob go crows
Lovely to see you tonight! Thank you so much for coming! Go Swans 😂
Flew London to Perth last November and didn't find anything to complain about and compared to Qantas non stop flight London Perth much prefer Singapore Airlines in every aspect of the flight.
Welcome back
Bit warmer this year to last year enjoy your stay in oz
Not today in Perth!
@@CharlieandRob just our usual September storm, will be all over soon 😁
Rob, when you got to Oz, you likely saw that Qantas is probably the most hated company/airline in the country. That Irish stooge Alan Joyce has destroyed any credibility the company had. I would never fly Qantas.....as an Aussie, I'm ashamed of them. BTW.....welcome back to Oz....and Rob, our Swans didn't do too well last week but at least they made the finals whereas Geelong didn't.
Did you select your meals prior to the flight or during the flight?
During, They ask you when serving the food. Only people who want vegi gluten free get to ask before hand.
Rob try a Mercury Dry cider.
I tried a mercury hard cider last year
I see you've brought the weather with you 😅
It was sunny and 30c in England
It was sunny here too 😂
I blame you... almost midnight past your bedtime ... night night x
@@CharlieandRob it’s been sunny here in Perth for the last few weeks 😂
A likely answer answer to the lack of in flight Cider. Seems airlines just responding to the demand from their customers on their routes.
I get the feeling Cider consumption is just a tiny minority drink apart from the South West of England and even then diminishing the further away you get from Devon.
Fuel cost of transporting the weight of unused Cider cans around the world might have been a calculation done by them.
You cant always get what you want.
Oof! Today's weather would have been a shocker for you! Soz about that!
Yep! Ended up going to westfields to hide from the rain!
@@CharlieandRob oh no! 😬
When do you leave Perth .? Hopefully not Friday morning kind of lost a day due to the rain.
Leaving Thursday afternoon. Today we ended up at Westfield shopping centre. Rotness tomorrow hopefully
If you go to Rotto tomorrow do not hire a bike. There’s a bus service that goes round the island, you can hop on and off at all the bays, they come every 15 to 30 minutes. Take drinks and snacks. You’ll cover a lot more ground and not get a sore a*se.
I’m a cyclist and would not get a bike for a day trip.
I always get vegetarian meal flying to Europe. Not so heavy in the gut when you’re sitting for hours.
Thanks for the advice 😸
@@CharlieandRobyw… hope you didn’t get drowned today ⛈️⛈️⛈️
You guys still aren't comming to Queensland...why?
Yes we are! Were spending a week in Brisbane and surrounding areas!
@@CharlieandRob yaaaaaay!
I prefer Qantas Interior
