Any chance we could get a trip report for Zip Air Tokyo from SJC to NRT?
Not SJC to NRT, but I am booked from LAX to NRT next month and will make a video about it! :)
@@simply_aviationWhen are you flying with Norse Atlantic Airways?
Felix has a flight booked with them next month as well... :)

Airlines: gives amenity kits, an eye patch and toothpaste
David: opens it at the end of the flight
Airlines: 🤨🤨😐
An.. eye patch…? We pirates now!
@@lameowizard pirates of the.... Southeast Asian? 😂
Ur people probably stole all of it 😮
David, I love your videos! I really appreciate that you focus more on Economy class reviews rather than business and first class reviews as most people can't afford those premium products. Keep up the Great work!
Agree with bear's travel
why would you ever fly economy, might as well swim there
The plane that they use specifically for this route is 1 of 1 and it is all equipped with business class and premium economy so in this specific route he can’t do an economy class review.
True I have never flown on buiness and first but many times in economy
@@shaynemichaelangelopeter4964 argee I’m going in economy in 2 months
Somehow a non stop flight like this seems to be less stressful than the old days when planes could not cover such distances without refuelling. In the early '90s Varig flew a 744 from Sao Paulo to Cape Town, Jo'burg, Bangkok, Hong Kong, Tokyo in an epic 24 hour journey. Now that was long haul! I used to take the Joburg-Bangkok sector traveling in 1st class and recall seeing the hundreds of drained faces sitting in economy. Quite how they felt if they flew from start to finish I can only imagine.
Thanks for doing your service to humanity! It is so great to find another video of the world’s longest flight!
That 12:14 view , also the views over Canada , cloudy Japan are breathtaking...Would love to fly this route.
It’s a good idea to use the A350-900ULR on such long flights. It’s much better for flying to remote destinations with its modern cabin and comfortable seats than the B777-200LR, which is rather old.
Thanks to Simply Aviation and personally to David for this amazing tripreport 😀👍✈️
It have also more range than it. Although the 200lr still is still the most selling one. But yes, a new generation
@@physh actually it can, and that's why Boeing offered 77L to QF for their SYD-JFK initially. Btw, SQ had no 77L to begin with but just 772A and 772E
@@physh also cabin design and seats are irrelevant to plane type but depends on how much money the airlines want to spend on
@@physh with optional auxiliary tanks installed, the 772LR's quoted range is 9370NM. It's still shy of the A359 ULR's range, but it should be enough in theory to be able to manage SIN-JFK.
Unfortunately, SQ never had any 772LRs. You're right, objectively speaking, the A350 is more modern, but personally, I'd still choose to fly on the 777. Those GE90s make a delightful sound.
FINALLY! A tripreport version after Brutally Honest on this route. ❤
This is the type flight that I’d rather not take direct - not because I’d be tired: business or premium economy would treat me well; rather, the need for wifi, some kind of exercise, and time away from screens, would drive me to transfer somewhere instead. That way I could also see one of the many interesting places along the way between Singapore and New York, making the trip more interesting. Which is why I so get that this flight is really business travel oriented.
Also, not that it’s at all bad, but for a full meal, in premium economy class, on what is said to be “world’s best airline”, I expected better. Maybe it’s due to Covid related compromises as this was filmed in September 2021
In this flight there are just premium economy and business. So in premium economy you are treated like an economy passenger
@@tommy_dark2520 if that’s true, that’s the stupidest business reasoning there could be
@@mst4309 yes, it’s because premium economy seats offer more legroom
@@tommy_dark2520 Not true based on my recent experience having flown return SIN-JFK-SIN. The service is still personalized like being flexible about snack timing and being able to request for cup noodles on demand which is supposed to be only available in business class. There are enough restrooms which means there is typically not a queue for waiting.
I’ve done this flight a bunch of times direct and via FRA. Now I’d much rather do a layover than direct, to at least have a shower and internet at the lounge during the layover.
How exciting to see my home city of Edmonton. It looks spectacular in the clear cold air. Thank you for another amazing video.
I took this flight 2 weeks ago, easily the best experience I've had on a flight, even for how long it was.
How was the seat? Was it comfortable for sleeping? Does most people spend most of the time in their seats or walking around?
the thing i love about the airbus a350 is the wings, tail cam, and their flap at the economy section
Wow! What a long flight! It’s amazing how far and long these larger planes can fly! Very beautiful plane as well❤✨
I recently secured the solo seat and it was great. Plenty of storage space and snacks on offer in case the meals are not enough. Though far from the comfort of business class seat, being able to visit lavatories without disturbing a neighbor yet enjoying the outside view was quite nice. The flight took almost 19hrs but it sure didn't feel too long.
Hiro, ooohh...think, that's a very long time on Air at an Plane...🧐🤓😏
For a premium economy class, 17-hour flight, Singapore Airlines really gives you a lot. 2 full meals, eye shades, over ear headphones, socks, and an amenities kit is really impressive for a non-business class flight that I'm used to seeing. Really makes it seem like a super long haul flight in economy is very much possible 👍🏾
And it gives you transport from Singapore to New York City as well
2 meals is standard even for economy....on a flight that long I'm a bit surprised that it wasn't 3 meals
it's actually pretty lackluster and underwhelming. 2 full meals is standard for all my transpacific flights from east coast in N/A even on legacy N/A carriers . overall a very disappointing PE product compared to other asian carriers like CX, ANA, JAL, BR from this video.
Maybe you never have taken a transatlantic flight because this is pretty standard minus the socks and toothbrush
Pretty cool seeing it fly high over Toronto when it's clear outside.
Jeez, I would love to fly with Singapore someday just to use the Krisworld. What an outstanding IFE! Gongratulations for the video!
I really liked, how the airline put that melodic music during landing. It added a truly wonderful flying experience. Many airlines used to do this before, now not as many ! I must fly Singapore Airlines.
Most 5 star airlines do that during landing
@@ag6371 Unfortunately, many have lost that 5 star touch
Absolutely fantastic trip report David!😸
Ooooooh! Finally a trip report for this flight! Thank you :)
I was thinking there would be 3 full meal services for such a long flight. Great review by the way!
Yeah, that third meal for PE is a cop out
Yea me too. 2.5 meals is terribly little for 17 hrs. 3.5 meals is more reasonable.
Air new zealand food is better.
Yeah also considering that the last full meal was served more that 8 hours before arrival…
Singapore airlines is always lack at catering services
Poor dudes! I didn't know it was so easy for you guys to starve to death.
Great Video's as always!
I did LHR-SIN-PERTH a couple of weeks back in SQ Premium on 777-ER (13 hours). I have to say, whilst the seat was fairly comfortable, I was not overly impressed with the overall product. In terms of leg room and seat width, SQ premium is no different to most other leading airlines premium seats (38 inch pitch, 19 inch width) which whilst appreciated, is industry standard and nothing special.
Additionally there is no dedicated toilet for PE cabin which is annoying. There was also no dedicated PE FA's and whilst I benefitted from the 'book the cook' service that business and first passengers get, ultimately we were served exactly the same food as economy on plastic trays with foil; we just had more options to choose from in advance.
In contrast, Cathay Pacific's PE product on their 777-ER, may be outdated appearance wise, but I found it was far more comfortable and there was a dedicated PE toilet and PE staff. Additionally there was a PE meal service which was served on china with metal cutlery and larger portions and which was of very high quality.
I have to agree on the service. It's exactly what you could have expected several years ago in Economy. Remember the flight was in Premium Eco and there even was no real glass or silverware for the meals. They simply reduced their Eco service (like removing the starters or not offering amenity kits anymore) and called the former product Premium Economy (despite the other seat).
Interesting comment.....good to know that CX continues doing well after COVID and the recent political turmoil in Hong Kong....good to see another great force in the highly competitive Asia-Pacific aviation market....with CX,SQ,QF,NZ,JL,NH,TG,BR,CI and so on...
Qantas operates a direct flight between London and Perth on the Boeing 787.
Was eagerly waiting for this review.. Keep up the good work 👏
Even the plane is still the cleanest in the universe, good job SG
I finally want this tripreport, so glad to see this!
Thanks for great report video :)
12:58 Thank you for posting my former hometown. I can almost see my old home. The lighted ring that goes around the city is the Anthony Henday freeway.
Yess!! Thanks for the new tripreport!❤
Oooooooh! Love trip reports reviewing this route 🤩
Sad you belive everything you see huh 😮
@@kennymcdonald9971 Pardon me?
I Like The Product Premium Economy.And Changi Is The World Best Airport Thats My Opinion.Great Work
Nicely done 👍
Good report on this extra long flight for the great majority of us who can't fly in business class. Personally I think I'd break a flight to North America or Europe from Australia into three shorter flights with a day or two in each stopover to recover. But for someone in a hurry this is the way to go!
This flight is usually part of a two or three flight journey from SEA Asia to North America
Awesome landing thanks for sharing, well done
YESSSSS! YOU POSTEDDDD!!!!
The crew were terrific and the food was 5-star as well. Thank you for the best memorable flight ever!
I have tried CGK-DXB-IST in EC with Emirates, and IST-SIN-CGK in PEC with SQ. TBH for me, Emirates EC product especially their meals is better than SQ’s PEC meals 😢
Love the fact that you are one of the few that reviews Economy .
Cheers
I flew the A350-900 ULR on SFO-SIN-SFO and while the plane, crew, and food were stunning, I didn't find the seats very comfortable.
First? Love your vids! The great thing is that you do reviews in Economy too!
I’ve never had the privilege to fly with Singapore Airlines,but it seems like a very pleasurable experience.
Great job. Does anyone know of any other economy flight reviewers? I unsubscribed from Sam ages ago, and more recently Noel and Josh, as all they seem to ever do is business and first class. I’d love to start a channel just doing economy reviews myself!
NYC Flyer is almost all economy reviews. There's loads out there just search a specific route and "economy" and you'll almost always find something :)
@@visionist7 thanks very much, I will give it a go!
I think you should give it a try. I have hundreds of coach flights under my belt but I never thought to record them and those days are mostly over.
I agree with you especially Sam seems to be more like a paid promoter than an actual reviewer
Noel lost his mojo a long, long time ago.
Thank you for all your wonderful videos including this. I wish I could meet you one day. Love from Phoenix, Arizona❤
Ahhh a fresh video of the longest flight
Atlast I am seeing a video from this channel that too from David . Awesome video as always
16:00 I just love the A350 as it’s spoilers are activated all together
I took this flight to Newark in November. Because I used Book the Cook, there were more selections available, though they didn't give me my satay. I'd love to do this flight from JFK to SIN next time.
Que gran vuelo 😍😍
What I love about Singapore is that thry always use Lurpak butter, one of the best danish butter in the world
Like your style of plane vlogging - and whoop whoop for EDMONTON!!!!
AWESOME VÍDEO!!!! It´s save now on favorites!!!! Grettings from Ecuador!!!!
Enjoyed watching this as I ate my dinner at home haha
A lifetime experience.Nice video
What a stunning plane
back in the 80's used to flty Pan Am from Jfk to Sin, but it was to San Francisco, then Hong kong, took about 24 to 26 hours
Keep it up boys 👏
Awesome ... 18 hours flight in 18 minutes..
That was one smooth landing. 👌
Fantastic 👏👏👏
Nice video. I’ll be doing this flight in November of this year. Totally looking forward to it.
The food looked OK, but the breakfast looked superb, Thai noodle beef, wow thats great, Singapore Airlines always surprise you with something, thats why they are always in the top few airlines. I love them.
I love the configuration on the Airbus.
Awesome!
I wonder if this route is profitable, must be since the plane is heavily premium configured. Great video!
I reckon the only people that use it are business travellers and those using Krisflyer miles. A return flight is $1400USD minimum.
PE passengers are mostly connecting through Changi to airports in SE Asia.
It’s pretty much the only flight connecting the US east coast to south east Asia. There’s a lot of business travel there
Singapore also flies nonstop to Newark Airport in NJ
The profit is in the cargo.
Although i havent ever travelled with SQ, by the trip reports, according they are the best airline in the world. Keep up the good work Singapore Airlines
Thank you for sharing you long trip here. I take it the flight was full so you did not have that seat next to you free!! At least the seats available were Premium Seats in general. That was a long flight where extra space to relax was really needed! But I hope you got your mileage points in your airline membership program.
That was very nice to have metal flatware in man cabin area.
Wow
The A350-900ULR made this video such a cool video ngl 😎
Thanks a lot for this lovely video,your lovely videos are unique and exquisite
Moost relaxing and calming aviation video i ever watched
Thanks for taking us on another journey with you. I wonder if the crew is given two days off after each flight!
Wowwww❤❤✈️✈️
Well done
Double sunrise
Great videos, thank you very much ❤️
Thank you for this video. Am considering either SIA or Emirates (for its A380) to JFK.
Love your video. Well explained regarding the premium economy. Longing to travel direct fr Singapore to Seattle
Great review 👍🏼
As a Thai, I felt very offended that the basil dish has no basil 😂
Five star coverage
The longest flight ever seen!!!!
A350 My fav plane
12:22 what a nice view
David Love your videos 😊😊🇸🇬
It’s a very real feeling
why is SQ24 a night flight? isnt it a midday flight departure ?
Nice 👍
HES BACK LETS GOOO! We missed you David 😄
What did you use to record this?
The cameras used are listed in the description of the video as always. :)
Yes I was checking your channel for new video . But today you gave long flight video 😃
you deserve 100 M SUBSCRIBERS bro🙏🙏🌎
Another awesome video! David are you flying back to SIN in business class soon? Or do the ANA “the room”?
Unfortunately not haha...wish I had the money to fly Business Class more often ;) Maybe later this year if a good deal becomes available. For now, Business Class tickets to Asia are mostly too expensive for me.
ufff I really want your job. Just give me an opportunity hahaha. Great video as always!!
very good
Im from Winnipeg and you flew over, too bad no night shot! A few years ago I flew from JFK to TPE and the whole flight over Manitoba was cloudy :(
Nice video
HOLA CAMPEON HACES HERMOSOS VIDEOS ESPERO QUE SIGAS ASI YO LOS VEO CUANDO PUEDO Y NADA A SEGUIR ASI UN ABRAZO DESDE TENERIFE AQUI TIENES OTRO SEGUIDOR CHAOOO
How much can the chair recline? Do you have any video on this? Would like to see how it looks like and how comfortable it is. Thanks.
I traveled in Business class last year was Singapore Jfk via Frankfurt , next month I m gonna take Singapore EWR NEWARK it's direct flight Business class.
Before, it flew regularly above the city of Pattaya! I have seen in the sky, and on FR24 many times. But, it was disappeared in the last time. I thinking the crew stopped to use Russia's airspace for transit and now take a course much eastern.
How I wish to travel to New York City one day. ❤
I would say longest flight would be from New Zealand - Australia - UK !👍
Really excellent video on the return trip from Newark to Singapore you have a 2-hour transfer towards Perth Western Australia and Manila Philippines. however, a longer wait happens on SQ21 EWR-SIN to SQ906 SIN-CEB via DVO.
Thanks for sharing, i thought the Premium Economy has a list of alcoholic and non alcoholic beverages to choose? You were not offered?
