How Good is Singapore Airlines' Best Business Class?

- Their second best was very good but just how good is their best? I flew Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Melbourne to find out.
This flight was on an A350 and features Singapore Airlines long-haul business class seat. This is their flagship business class product.
Our flight departed early evening and flew overnight so I got the chance to indulge in the full Singapore Airlines business class experience including dinner and trying out their lie flat business class bed.
Singapore Airlines is rated as one of the world's best airlines with award winning inflight service. This flight was no exception with a wonderful crew and excellent food and drink offerings. But what is the seat like? Watch this Singapore Airlines business class flight review and find out.

Flew them last year but was too tired for the main course. The lovely FA said she would keep cheesecake and serve it with coffee for me when I woke as despite being an overnight flight no breakfast is served. True to her word as soon as she saw me rousing I had the cheesecake and coffee in front of me.
Really like the way you let us see the menus in detail, not many other vloggers do that... appreciate it
Me too! I appreciate it a lot! 😊I like to imagine what I’d eat! 🤤
Dennis, you are so right about the tiny footwell which is incredibly uncomfortable for sleeping. My wife and I recently flew MEL-SFO via Singapore return. Four flights on the A350. Everything was superb but seriously let down by a glaring fault with the seat design, as you so correctly observed
Flying Singapore was always one of the best parts about living in Southeast Asia. 20 years ago they had full Pokemon games on KrisWorld, kept me entertained for those transpacific marathon flights.
The footwell on the seat definitely looks annoying for tall people but for us vertically challenged people it would be fine
Definitely second that - of the handful of business class beds I've been fortunate to enjoy, the majority were really uncomfortable in lie down mode
@@neilrmartin1984it's the worst. A great seat ruined by the diagonal foot hole. It's so uncomfortable when lying back and watching the screen or sleeping.
@@famousatmidnight15 in fairness, I should have said that I am 1.94m/6'4". But it's an interesting point how airlines (don't) cater for tall folk
Dennis Bunnik, The mayor of the Air 😊your videos are brilliant mate👍🏻
The a350 is a nice plane, so quiet I was surprised.
I agree the seat is w i d e. So wide that I didn't know what to do with my elbows. The 777 first class is even wider.
Glad I was in the bulkhead seat!
I just did this product Singapore to San Fran and I’m 6’-4”…. The footwell is a little narrow but an AMAZING product.
The reason your windows fogged is because Melbourne weather is becoming like Sydney - unusually lots of humidity and rain this summer.
& a 15 -20 minute wait on baggage at MEL is pretty good given recent experiences. It can be a lot longer.
I feel like I havent seen your recommendations in months, glad to binge again
A great review as always, Dennis. As someone who has never been up the pointy end, and rarely gets the opportunity to fly, it's great to see what it's like through your videos!
Thank you, really appreciate the view and lovely feedback
Great review. Thanks for the time you put into this!
Thank you for the video. It looked very comfortable!
Love this channel one of the first travel channels I got into. Subscribe and like. Always a classy video review. And very calming
I enjoy watching your videos cheers !
How cool to see my name on one of your trip reviews. Glad you had a great time and flight
Your video’s are the best. Really like them. Greetings from Holland! 🇾🇪😘👋
Great to see you back Dennis. Love Singapore Airlines and love Changi. 👍👍👍
Love that they brought back the towels great way to get refreshed
The desert table looked amazing.
Wonderful video Dennis!
Thanks Dennis, always a great review!
Thanks mate, appreciate the support.
Dennis, it is a pleasure to watch your videos. You can make any airline seem elegant. It is your soft, comforting voice and manner that makes for the pleasant experience watching your videos. Keep doing what you do. Thanks! :-)
I’m just about to book with them Istanbul to Melbourne and you helped heaps thanks
Loved the B1 B2 joke at the beginning! Here in Ireland my daughter watched Bananas in Pyjamas. We even had it on dvd! Hadn't heard that reference in a long time (my daughter is 19 now) so thanks for the memories 😊
I didn’t realize the A350 was so good - this is now top of my list!
great review as always. Can’t wait for SQ to start flying their A350-900 into Cairns next month and then flying to Manchester in May. Looking forward to another SQ flight.
Really enjoyable review Dennis. Never travelled on Singapore Airlines, but looks really good. Wouldn't want to sleep on the flights with footroom like that though. A great start to a Saturday morning here in Britain, watching a new video of yours
I love Singapore Airlines, and Changi Airport!
That seats looks amazing
Love Singapore Airlines. Flown Melbourne to Manchester a number of times. Superb!!
Hi Dennis yes I find your reviews very informative especially as we thinking of travelling to either Australia or New Zealand next year to celebrate a special wedding anniversary and Singapore Airlines is at the top of our list
Great video as always - you should use Aerolopa for seat maps!
Thanks for the review, I am flying with them soon, Great advise on where to sit
Great video
Great video. Fully agree with the footwell. The other flaw I find about the seat is the lack of legrest. So you can only put your feet on the floor when you are in an upright or semi-upright position. Also without a legrest, the metals below the seat gets exposed and sometimes they will scrape your legs when you come back to your seat from the toilet. If you are wearing shorts, the scraping against bear skin can lead to bleeding
Hi! Dennis. Thank You for sharing this lovely video. Hope one day to get the opportunity to fly in BC with SQ’s new A350😊
Fantastic video as always Dennis!😸
Thanks :)
Great video! Brings back memories. I lived in Singapore for 10 years and we'd go to Melbourne all the time since my husband had projects there. Now we're based in Canada and only go back to Singapore every 2 years and we haven't been back to Melbourne for 10 years.
Keep posting in 4K Dennis, your videos are quality mate so it is only fair for them to be viewed at the highest quality.
Yes Singapore airlines are great to travel with will be flying in May with them
Lovely review as always mate :D
Thanks mate, appreciate the support
Great video Dennis. Always like Singapore
Thanks Claire
A solid review of a great airline Dennis, agree with your comments on the sleeping position; it's not as good as some other carriers in that respect. (If you get a seat in a bulkhead row this isn't a problem BTW.) But in nearly every other respect SQ remain just excellent and so consistent - I can't help returning for more. 😃
Your “one legged pirates” comment caught me off guard. I laughed out loud with my wife looking at me strangely as she couldn’t hear the video. Great video as always!
Love the Lobster and Satay aboard. Great video ❤
Thanks!
I’m off to New Zealand in a couple of weeks, slumming it in business class with Singapore Airlines on their A 380… the leg from Changi to Auckland was originally going to be on an A 350 but at some time they changed the equipment, so it looks as though I’m going to miss this bird. Somehow I think I will survive the experience 😊great video as always and I’m really looking forward to the trip with SQ.
excellent review as usual ! look forward to more in 2024
Huge fan all the way in Trinidad & Tobago ! 🇹🇹 you’ve got to visit us soon
Great to see you back again Dennis - you are one of the reasons I chose Singapore Airlines to do a long planned and saved for trip to Australia - I found a travel agent that specialised in discount business class fares and managed to a great deal on a LHR - SIN - PER - BNE - SIN - LHR ticket - it was a blast! A380 - A350 - Virgin Partner 737 - A350 - 777 - every flight was amazing (book the cook lobster thermidor on LHR - SIN route was stunning). Best overall was the A380 - best for sleeping the 777. The A350 perfect for mid length flights. When pushed it's got to the A380 - it's just amazing in every category
Flying to Hong Kong via Singapore on the A350 and really looking forward, love the A350s.
I love your videos.
Thanks!
Thank you Dennis.
I’m a huge fan of Singapore Airlines and I’m flying twice later this year from Bangalore to Manila and Bangalore to New York
I love Singapore Airlines and always fly with them! Great Business Class! But I never go with business class it’s expensive! Great video and thank you for sharing 😍😊👍
Looks like one of the best Business class I've seen for a while.
always a good day when dennis uploads 😎 will you ever go try the C919?
thanks, one day I hope to fly it, it's been a long time since I was in China.
Great review mate! The product seems excellent except for the footwell.
Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1 🤣 love it!!
Thanks for the tip about ideal location for side sleeping, and which seats to choose.
Another great video Dennis! I Iike your glasses where did you get them from?
Thanks. They are from a brand called Talla - bought them at the local optometrists.
I think the 2 dollar shop
😂
Taking the SIA A350 shortly on SIN-MNL. This has whetted my appetite. nicely. And not just for the champagne!
One legged pirate? 😂😂😂. Fantastic, uplifting and funny video as always. Love your sense of humour and attention to detail. I flew SQ biz lately and even though it was a 3.5 hour flight on the A350-900, the crew were fantastic. It was a red eye flight and I didn’t sleep but I didn’t care. The crew barely sat down to take a deep breath so I know what you mean.
Great video. Definitely sold me on Singapore Airlines 350
Thank you
Brits know B1 and B2 as well, very nostalgic.
Great video as always. I'd love to try Singapore especially during daytime but for nighttime/sleeping that footwell space/angle is an issue. I think I'd prefer an aligned footwell space with a slightly narrower seat but it's all personal preference.
SQ Biz still lagging behind many others, sadly they use those same seats on their Singapore-JFK Non-Stop, it’s so uncomfortable! So many better business options with all the extras at a far lower price too. EVA biz my #1 now, truly impressive.
I haven't tried EVA but definitely on my list to fly
@@DennisBunnikTravels you will be amazed! They have non-stops from BKK to LHR and AMS on B-777. Flights through Taipei get the B-787, both are equally great experience - free PJ’s, Book the Cook, anytime dinning, 2006 Champagne, amazing bedding, amenity kits, incredible staff, star alliance points, and and and…give it a go! 😎✈️
Haha i got that reference! Bananas In Pyjamas! We had that here too when i was younger! :)
Great video Dennis. Singapore Airlines Business Class looks lovely and very comfortable. I highly recommend that you watch the Singapore Airlines documentary on TH-cam.
I loved the A350 business class. Really comfortable and very wide. The best part of flying Singapore Airlines, though, is always the service. Looking forward to my 787-9 flights on Singapore Airlines later this year.
Another great video Dennis. I can only dream of business class so it's great to see your videos. How good are the Bunnik luggage straps, so easy to pick out your luggage. We're off on our third Bunnik tour in a few months and we can't wait (sadly in economy - I did my best to win powerball but my $8.00 win won't cut it 😅)
Took this from Frankfurt to Singapore last year on a B777. I found this seat to be great if you were in the bulkhead seat (which I somehow got). It was a great seat and was a great experience overall. Honestly though, I thought that the best buisness class in Singapore Airlines was the A380 buisness class.
The 777 business class mini cabin behind first is great!
@@VW_Fan That was actually what I took lol. Pretty Private, and only 16 seats.
Very good night flight!
All thumbs up.
The seats are looking a bit exhausted. But the service is world class.
Good review! I think the hard product is a huge let down for how good the soft product is
Nice review, as usual, and the food did look good.
After seeing a photo online this week of my two favourite plane reviews, and before you ask that's you and Noel Philips. Does that mean you're working together and we can expect a joint review to be posted in the near future?
It was great to finally meet Noel. It was only a fleeting visit but with a bit of luck there will be a little cameo on his Indian Pacific video
Flew this from Seattle to Singapore and back last summer, and just booked a flight from Singapore to Seattle for next winter. The trick is getting one of the bulkhead seats, which become available 48-96 hours before departure. I don't sleep much even on long flights, but the extra space is so nice.
Yes the bulk head seats if you can get them are definitely the way to go.
We flew SFO-SIN in late October, returning in early December in Business on the A350. I’m 6’2” tall, with size 12 US feet and I could not agree more about the footwell. It put my body in a pretty awkward position for sleeping. We’ve flown business with this seat configuration on other airlines and it’s the same. Best seat I’ve found so far, at least for sleeping, is JAL’s 777-300ER with a 2-3-2 configuration is business. The seats all face straight ahead, not at angles and they have huge foot wells.
In all other aspects, however, SQ is in a class by itself in Business. Food service was insanely good. I had a fish entree out of SFO that was restaurant quality. Most times, particularly out of SFO, fish entrees are overcooked and dry. This was cooked perfectly and very, very moist. Same out of Changi, but with a steak. Cooked perfectly.
Also, a shoutout to SQ’s in-flight entertainment. I’m hard of hearing. ANA and JAL have a few films each flight that are close captioned. On SQ, they all were, and on a 17+ hour flight,that was very nice for me.
I first visited Changi in 2017 and was surprised at the amount of carpet in the terminals. Really cuts down on the noise levels. It's a great airport. The wide SIA seats always make me jealous, but that legroom looks poor for sleeping.
Sad SQ cancelled their YVR-SIN. AC is good but not the same. Another great video.
I flew in the same flagship business class just three weeks ago and agree with everything you said. Because of my height (6'4'' / 194cm), I made sure to grab a bulkhead seat (11A). Reserving the bulkhead is a hassle as they are mostly reserved for SQ top-tier frequent flyers but I managed to do it and had a great time. I was unfortunately ill on the flight so couldn't take too much advantage of the lovely catering but I did manage to sleep 9 of the 13 hours to Copenhagen, which is a testament to the comfort of the seat and the bulkhead especially.
On another note, I caught the Bananas in Pyjamas reference, even as a non-Australian😁 It seems to have had some spotty popularity across different countries and it was certainly on the telly in the mornings here in Denmark when I was a kid
G'Day Dennis, your reviews are great, and have influenced some of my travel plans, so thanks! I was curious about your thoughts on the Singapore headphones in their A350 business class. I have a pair of older Bose headphones, and I am trying to reduce items to carry as we will be on a long haul to Europe. Do you think they are close to Bose in quality and performance? I know they are airline supplied, but just curious on your thoughts. Thanks again, and keep up the great reviews!
Happy that you recognised the superiority of the MAS satay!! ;) I mean, SIA does most everything else better, but gotta give it to MAS for keeping the satay consistent for decades.
😂 to the bip reference 😁
You look exhausted Dennis! I hope you were able to get home and get some rest. Singapore Airlines never disappoints. What a great airline.
Yeah it was the end of a long and busy around the world trip :)
SIA actually do still give you amenities kits but you have to ask for them, and they are only available on flights longer than 4 hours.
Ha ha....one legged pirates. Love it!
Hi I missed you mate.
Gotta try business class myself one time I fly with Singapore Airlines!
There's something special about Changi Airport especially when you haven't been there for a while. It's the right sort of place to relax after a long flight from Europe or the USA and onwards to Australia/NZ. To me a good airport is one that is not only functional for aircraft but has a good ambience because we all need to spend time connecting between flights, often for hours at a time at funny hours.
Definitely! I think Changi is a great airport and love the fact when you arrive you are straight into the terminal not herded through endless corridors to security. Security before you board your connecting flight is much easier as far I'm concerned.
@@DennisBunnikTravels you just have to remember to show up at your gate in time - no announcements!
Seats look good Dennis , bit odd with the foot room but a lot better than I remember the last time I flew Singapore Airlines business class .
I can,t remember what type of aircraft it was but the business class seating was very underwhelming and really dated like it came out of a 1970,s Boeing 747 .
Still think the best business class seats we ever had were Austrian Airlines from Bangkok to Vienna , comfy and like Turkish Airlines the chefs come up and take your order for meals plus the aircraft was immaculate in every way even the uniforms for the crew were impeccable .
PS Dennis…. We are in a few weeks going to New Zealand for a few weeks flying Air New Zealand business class on their 777 so we will let you know what that was like ( doing Air New Zealand on your recommendation ) .
And no nether of us have a foot fetish 😊 .
Singapore Airlines business class looks very nice, and the airport at Singapore is slso good. As far as airports go it would be one of the easier ones to transit.
Yep, had one of these seats last year, absolutely hate the sleeping position - and having to get up off the seat to fold the seat back forwards to make a bed. I will not go out of my way for this if I’m on an overnighter.
Yes totally agree about the seats - they gave me a bit of anxiety with legtrap - not a fan
singapore is a fantastic airline .
Sorry to see you experienced the Swiss port difference at Tulla. They are certainly a handler with very low kpis
A huge benefit with SGA compared to that well known Australian airline Qantass is I find it easy to book a business class flight with points and only double the points compared to an economy flight booking
Im 191 cm (6'3") and have flown business class on Singapore Airlines A350 and B777. The A350 had the foot well directly in front of the seat. It was too close to sleep on my back and too narrow to sleep on my side. I did not sleep well. The B777 had the footwell offset from the seat and I was able to get a good night sleep on my side (my normal sleeping position)
I flew in December and January SQ BC from Germany to Brisbane and back . I really like the service,tge crews and meals. I dislike the space for my feet and that I need support to make the bed modus. I prefer the elder A 350 machines ,where you can do it with the Button by yourself.
