This is a quick review of flying in business class on Singapore Airlines
from Sydney to Singapore. Singapore Airlines is consistently voted one of
the best airlines in the world so I hope this video reflects the excellent
service that Singapore Airlines provides. Singapore Airlines has four direct
flights from Sydney to Singapore each day, with a flight time around 8 hours.
Usually the flight is just under 8 hours at around 7 hours and 55 minutes. 2 of
these flights are on board the Boeing B777-300.
The other two flights are on board the amazing Singapore Airlines Airbus A380
double decker super jumbo. At Sydney Airport the Singapore Airlines check-in
counters are located in Row K which is the very last row of counters. There are
dedicated counters for economy, premium economy, business class and the Singapore
Airlines first-class Suites.
With a business class ticket you get this Express Pass to go through the
express lane to pass through the airport security which cuts down queueing time.
Once passed security forget about all the expensive shopping
and food at Sydney Airport head straight to the Singapore Airlines SilverKris
Flyer lounge which is one of the best airline lounges at Sydney Airport. There
is a food buffet here that serves up a great range of Asian style foods.
The boarding gates for the Singapore airline flights are only two minutes
walk from the SilverKris Lounge. Now I'm going to show you onboard the Singapore
Airlines A380 aircraft first. This would always be my first choice of Singapore
Airlines flights with the 1-2-1 configuration, all the business class
seats have direct access to the aisle.
The Singapore Airlines A380 has the widest business class seats for any
airline, a huge 34 inches across make these seats comfortable for the biggest
cabooses. There is plenty of legroom and there is also this ledge which is part
of the total lay flat bed. With the seat upright this ledge is a bit cramped but
once you recline the seat you can stretch your legs out just fine.
The seat has plenty of storage compartments to stow your passport,
mobile phone and wallet or your purse. The window seats also have a larger
storage bin where I like to store my smelly shoes!
There is also a universal power adapter and USB port within easy reach from the
seat .There is also a vanity mirror right in front.
The entertainment screen is a nice-sized 18 inch screen which is loaded with
heaps of movies. The only disappointment is this older Singapore Airlines a380
does not have the sky cam with the camera mounted in the airplane to watch
it flying. There is a flight map but just not the sky cam which I love to watch
The Singapore Airlines a380 also has onboard Wi-Fi internet access which is
complimentary for business class and first class passengers. Okay now a quick
look at the Singapore Airlines Boeing B777-300ER.
The Singapore Airlines Boeing 777 business class is also in a
1-2-1 configuration. The seats are not as wide as A380 there's still an
impressive 28 inches across.
The legroom is still pretty good but my feet touch up against the seat in front
so i couldn't stretch them straight out. There is this ledge to stretch out your
legs but it makes you sit on an angle but once the seat is reclined it is very
comfortable and you can stretch out fully. Here is a quick look at the seat
fully refined to make the total lay flat bed. You need to get up and pull the seat
back forward. The seat also has the universal power adapter and the USB
ports, There are also a few storage compartments to stow away your personal items.
The entertainment system has a nice size 16 inch screen and is loaded up with
heaps of latest release movies. The in-flight map system is the awesome
Panasonic avionics system which has some pretty awesome graphics. When it comes to
food Singapore Airlines serves up two meals on their flight between Sydney and
Singapore. They first serve up a full meal after takeoff which comes with a
starter, main meal and dessert. Then about an hour and a half before landing they
serve up a refreshment meal. Ofcourse before takeoff they serve up a nice
glass of champagne. They also ask what you'd like to drink after takeoff and
they bring that out with a plate of nuts.
Then the excellent food is served up. This was a delicious seafood platter
entree served with a tasty Singapore sling. Then the main meal arrived which
was this beef bulgogi Korean dish with rice and noodles. Then for dessert was
his excellent raspberry cake. The food just keeps on coming out with a food
tray coming out after dessert and then some chocolate served with tea and
coffee. At the end Singapore Airlines really provide great food and service
one of the things that I really like is that they don't just greet you at the
door when you board a Singapore Airlines flight. A crew member will escort you and
show you to your business class seat. It is little touches of service like this
that makes Singapore Airlines the best airline in the world. So that is a quick
look at flying business class on Singapore Airlines between Sydney and
Singapore. I hope you've enjoyed this video. If you did please click on the
