ECONOMY vs. PREMIUM ECONOMY vs. BUSINESS CLASS aboard SINGAPORE AIRLINES A350

Singapore Airlines' Airbus A350-900 cabin product offers three different classes. But what are the differences between Economy, Premium Economy and Business Class in terms of comfort, personal space, privacy and extra features? What class should you choose? We hope this Seat Review video is helpful to answer these questions.
While filming we were surprised of the high quality and space throughout all classes. This is definitely one of the best cabins in the world.
Please note that this shows Singapore Airlines' Airbus A350-900 long-haul product and not their medium-haul or ultra long-haul configuration.
Thank you to Munich Airport, Singapore Airlines!

I suggests that you guys should do seat width (space BETWEEN THE ARMRESTS) review/critique. It is just as important as legroom as it affects the quality of sleep/comfort especially on long-haul. Your reviews are already great and helpful for us economy travelers and I think adding the seat width review will only make it even more perfect. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for your feedback!

Having enough leg room is most important after all we're not all midgets or contortionists. Worse is having the person in front throw their seat back right in front of your face. This should be stopped.

[@johnlove6194]

Thank you for sharing. If you want to arrive in top shape in long haul flights, business class is the way to go.

[@flightexperience_official]

Thank you for watching! You're absolutely right. Arriving at the destination in a way better shape is the most important reason for flying Business Class.

[@tkell31]

One thing to consider. From my quick survey premium isn't much more expensive than economy, usually a few hundred dollars, but business class is 6-10 times as much.

[@beverleyferguson8942]

Comparing business class with premium economy is like comparing Harrods with 7-11. There is no comparison.

[@nayandatta0105]

Value is always derived with taking monetary considerations always , Premium Economy gives a better value than business for the amount spent. On board meals and services in Premium economy is quite there in comparison to Business , the only major difference is seating space which mostly to many doesn't matter that much especially in short duration flights.

[@grozaphy]

I would want business class but I know I can't afford it so economy it is

I don’t understand the question. Off course business is the best, otherwise why pay the extra?

[@bc6515]

Just flew the non-stop flight from LAX to SIN by premium economy. In my opinion, the basic economy is much more comfortable and roomier than premium economy. Although premium offers amenities such as bottle storage, larger tray, personal light device, foot rest and reclining support, all this comes at a price -- less space and comfort. So next time i will fly basic economy or business (if I can afford that). IMHO, premium is just not worth it for me....

If your height is 1.7 meters or more, you will appreciate the extra legroom (about 4 inches more), and the passenger behind you is less likely to inconvenienced if you recline the seat.

I don't get premium economy. Every time I pass by to get to economy the extra legroom seems like a bad joke

[@Zhonguoria]

Economy, without a doubt! 👍

[@Basman59]

All that and we are left to determine our own preference there was I thinking we might get a tip. If the economy is x and premium is 2x and business 4x and this stays true for a price then clearly 2x must be the best cost to benefit ratio. Having been flying internationally for 45 years the economy section gets worse every year. What was economy 25 years ago is now premium and business is the new 1st class. If a flight is longer than 8-10 hours spend the extra and upgrade to PE trust me your body will thank you.

[@stephenvincent4706]

This wasn’t a Class comparison, just a seat comparison. And Premium is not just a bit more than economy, it’s at least 3.6 times more expensive than economy (at least here in Australia it is). Business class is only 3.9 times economy price. I know which one I’d prefer.

[@flightexperience_official]

Indeed Premium Economy is such a non-sense class. Most of the time so overpriced. But many people like it, hence all airlines are increasing the amount of premium Economy seats on their planes. Anyway, thanks for watching!

[@tonyey9664]

I don’t agree with very much in this video at all. I have travelled on all 3 classes on the A350. In economy, when the seat in front is reclined, it almost hits you in the face. Completely claustrophobic. Premium economy is just a little more roomy, with same food & drink as economy. Only 2 days ago travelled business Singapore to Brisbane on a brand new aircraft. I think the seats are terrible design and extremely claustrophobic as well. Bed is terrible as area for your feet is on an angle. I had a window because I like to look out the window. The seat has a huge barrier which blocks the view & its only function is light switches. Once again claustrophobic. Most redeeming feature of Business is the noise cancelling headphones. The most value in business is access to the lounges where you can shower, eat and have a drink. I would not recommend SIA to anyone. The most overrated airline in the world in my opinion. Qantas & ANZ for example have far better business beds. I give SIA a 5 out of 10.

[@garrytaylor]

I've flown Singapore Airlines long haul from Sydney, Australia to Europe (London, Munich and Zurich as destination) in both economy and premium economy and, apart from the differences featured in this video, premium economy is a better choice for a number of reasons including easier check-in and boarding, being able to choose meals using 'Book The Cook' before flying, noise cancelling headphones, better blanket and pillow and noticeably larger IFE screen. I think it's worth the extra and, getting early bird or expo specials, the difference in price can be make premium economy affordable.

[@leisou2008]

garrytaylor if price double the economy, do u think it’s worth to shift to the PE class? i’m now struggling....

[@garrytaylor]

leisou2008, depends on your budget. Singapore Airlines economy is still a very good product. One thing I didn't mention as a plus for Premium Economy is that the PE compartment has less seating and the people using PE tend to be older so the compartment is less busy and noisy. As I mentioned, waiting for an expo or sale can make a difference with the cost of Premium Economy. Personally, I 'd love to travel Business if money was no object but I can only dream.
