Airbus A350 vs Boeing 787 | Singapore Airlines Economy Class Comparison

Happy Holidays guys! Don't forget to like this video and comment below to enter the giveaway - full instructions in the description :) ALSO, I know Singapore Airlines has a couple of new A350s with the same seats as the 787, but the majority still have the ones in this video.

[@johnchakos2125]

Andrew Leong so true! The queen of the skies, the a380 and the a350 are incredible and the best planes!

[@warrenc8149]

Same!

[@eugn86]

My favourite aircraft is the A380! Flown it on Singapore Airlines twice - once in business and once in economy. And I was lucky to be on the upper floor both times! It’s just amazing how quiet the upper floor is - you are able to sleep better and less fatigue for the journey. A pity the A380 model isn’t a popular aircraft type but I just love its magnificence... seeing something that big fly across the sky is always a time-stopping experience.

[@GmodGTX]

Your decibel meter did show that the A350 wasn't as noisy as the 787 during cruise tho. So it was actually corroborating your personal impression that the A350 was overall quieter. During cruise the A350 measured around 79 on your app, while the 787 measured around 83. That's quite a big difference, as decibel is logaritmic. This means that with around a 4db difference, the Boeing is around 30% louder than the Airbus. That would lead to an audible difference, which is what you experienced yourself.

Airbus A380 - I flew on this plane for the first time this year, fantastically spacious and quiet.

[@mylesdias8453]

Taking the GOLD medal (#2 favorite) in my favorite aircraft is the 747 family, the -400 in particular. This need not be explained, but of course I will any way. There is no other aircraft that is widely regarded as "The Queen of the Skies". No other aircraft in history has littler changed the world and opened long distance travel to the masses, instead of just the rich. This aircraft shape with that iconic hump is the most recognizable frame on the planet. There's soemthing special about seeing their 4 engines and 18 wheels. The versatility is unmatched: passengers, freight, VIP/government, tanker, SPACE SHUTTLE CARRIER.....The plane is just amazing. Sure it's past it's prime, but look at everything it has accomplished.

[@adarloberant1201]

I really like the A340-500/600 (princess of the skies). The model itself always looked dashing😍

[@CyrilJanDacasin]

I love everything Boeing but Airbus really nailed it with the 350 ❤️

[@nicholasmackenzie-rowe68]

The 380 outclassed the 747 in every way. Excellent aircraft from a passenger point of view, but too early to be a success. In 30 years, with possible hybrid engines, it would be genius. Right aircraft, wrong time. I love neither manufacturer, each have great aircraft. It just seems that Boeing in the last decade or so seem to be run by accountants, where as Airbus seem to be run by engineers. Things can change, and I hope the recent disasters at Boeing have made them realise.

[@wizardmix]

@Nonstop Dan I flew the 787 but not the a350. Typically when in economy on long hauls, I go back to the rear galley to get some extra water and stretch my legs. It's often there that I make friends with some of the FAs. On my last trip, I talked to one of them about the windows and asked why they were locked, she showed me this super impressive touch screen panel where they controlled all the windows. She asked me where I was sitting and unlocked my window so I could let a little bit of the out, in. I also like that 787s are pressurized to a lower altitude making long hauls better. All that said, my favorite domestic planes are 757's (ask any pilot or ATC about 757s) and my favorite long haulers are 777s. Not so much for comfort but for build quality, reliability and legacy.

[@artgreen6915]

So while she did unlock your window, did she explain why the airline felt the need to dictate the window settings en-block? What about all the people who want to look outside who don't have the benefit of a friendly chat with the right flight attendant?

[@wizardmix]

@@artgreen6915 If she did explain it, I forgot. The only few points of conjecture I can think of are that most trans-pacific flights I've been on, for whatever reason people keep the shades closed, it might be a SE Asian thing? Aside from that, the benefit of controlling the opacity from a master is the lighting in the plane is already programmed to change the circadian rhythm of the passengers. Certainly they are all undimmed on take off and landing. Perhaps they assume that if anyone wanted to look out their window, they'd ring the flight attendant? I don't think the intent is malicious. Honestly when doing a long-haul trans pacific flight, I prefer to fly at night because the solar radiation and heat one experiences on daytime flights is actually quite high. I'd rather sleep through the flight. Winds are often more calm at night as well.

Well yes, but the 737 is a design kept alive too long and adapted too far, whereas the 787 is clean sheet. So any problems they've had come from the opposite ends of the spectrum you might say.

[@fabriziox5846]

[@randolphclarke4674]

I personally prefer the a350 for ONE reason. Economy class densification. The 787 is designed to have a 2-4-2 economy The a350 is designed to have a 3-3-3 economy However, OF ANY aircraft, I love the Boeing 767 because of the 2-3-2 economy class

[@chrismckellar9350]

The B787 was designed for 3+3+3. Since the Boeing initially promoted the B&*7 as the Dreamliner with 2+4+2 seating configuration to allow for wider seats for passenger comfort, airlines had opted for the standard 3+3+3 configuration for their B787 fleets.

Singapore execs have stated that the 787-10 has exceeded expectations and the a350 has slightly under performed to date in overall performance. Emirates decision to shun the a350 in favor of the 787-10 is looking more wise everyday. The a350 is still an outstanding aircraft.

A350 got touchscreen handset in economy, better air humidity, seats should be wider coz it doesn't make sense that b78k's seat width would be wider than the a359. Their business class have ultimate large seat but you have to bend your legs while sleeping. B78K got large dimming windows which quite like it, higher celling, personally more like the Boeing sky interior, they got staggered business class which u can sleep straightly without bending your legs and seats are quite wide. *Both IFE and seat features are amazing and multifunction *Crew are amazing and provides hot towel service Conclusion: I would prefer a359 seat, b78K legroom, B78K Interior, B78K windows, a359 Quietness (although a380 is the most quiet plane in my experience), b78k business class.

I only flew the A350 once with Qatar Airways, a few days after flying their Dreamliner for the first time. I have to say I preferred the cabin of the 787, it just seemed more spacious and bright, while the A350 felt like being on a lower deck A380. Also, (even if that doesn't really matter for us passengers) the galley on the Dreamliner is just massive, and I really enjoyed hanging out there. On the A350 it was smaller and also had a divider making the available space smaller... Great video as always ;)

My favorite aircraft is the Boeing 777-300ER. However, recently just 3 months ago, I flew SQ's A350 (SFO-SIN) and Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner (SIN-MAA-SIN). I flew the A350 for the first time, but there is one thing you're likely lacking now compared to 4 years ago...even the regional and newer longhaul A350's (SMV-SJE and continuing) have the same Y class seats as the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. Those seats on the A350 are quite cramped but on the Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner, it was actually slightly better due to the space and tolerable for a 4 hour flight. However, the problem is the aisles. It made it more cramped, especially when walking and bumping into many seats. It's really a tight squeeze on both the A350 and Boeing 787-10 Dreamliner. The seats you outlined were the 2013 Version, which I've only flown on the 77W back in 2016 (still exists today), which is FAR more comfortable than the A350's current 2017 Y class seats (maybe the 2013 Y would have been better, but even a friend of mine told me it's equally as cramped). Even comparing with a 10-across Boeing 777-300ER, yes, that is also cramped, but my experience flying it on CX and UA wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, but on EK when I flew it back in 2011, that was one of the worst on their 77W. But their A380 is better thanks to the wider seat, airy and roomy aisles, etc. From an SQ perspective, the reason I winded up on the A350 was because initially I was booked on SQ1/2 which was on the 777-300ER stopping over in Hong Kong, but last July they canceled that flight and moved us to the A350, which I was actually dreading that long of a flight. The service is good but the comfort unlike old times is compromised.
