How Good is Singapore Airlines' Best Business Class?

[@markdykes103]

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

[@safetyamsv3515]

Really like the way you let us see the menus in detail, not many other vloggers do that... appreciate it

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.

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!

The footwell on the seat definitely looks annoying for tall people but for us vertically challenged people it would be fine

[@neilrmartin1984]

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

[@famousatmidnight15]

@@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.

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

[@adriancheng8991]

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

[@ivanb52]

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.

[@adamdubignon8136]

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. 😃

[@runningrauster8971]

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!

[@andybearvlog6140]

Looks like one of the best Business class I've seen for a while.

[@YapJunHaoChs]

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.

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

[@doublesidedtape1000]

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.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

Yes the bulk head seats if you can get them are definitely the way to go.

[@stevenelson3515]

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.

[@AlonsoRules]

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.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

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.

[@AlonsoRules]

@@DennisBunnikTravels you just have to remember to show up at your gate in time - no announcements!

The seats are looking a bit exhausted. But the service is world class.

[@scrumpydrinker]

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.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

[@danielstrandby3678]

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

[@bkkmj4250]

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.

[@DennisBunnikTravels]

I haven't tried EVA but definitely on my list to fly

[@bkkmj4250]

@@DennisBunnikTravels you will be amazed! They have non-stops from BKK to LHR and AMS on B-777.

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.

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.

[@Aussiepete1962]

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 😊 .

[@PSjustus]

Are you thinking what I'm thinking B1 🤣 love it!!

[@lvthud]

As I spent a good amount of time last year bouncing between the US and Bali I decided to use SQ, I have to say, my feelings after the flights was pretty much on par with yours. For reference I did 4 round trips SFO-SIN-DPS, so in total 16 flights. The food was good, with the exception that on the 16 legs I managed to get garlic bread exactly once, well that is not 100% true, the 2nd time they somehow managed to not serve the right hand side of the J cabin ANY bread, when I pointed this out it was very politely explained to me that I was mistaken, I equally politely asked the cabin manager to look down the aisle and count the bread dishes with bread on them or any evidence of bread having been there. Now, I will say, he did an excellent job of hiding his irritation when it was clear there was no bread on that side of the cabin, and in reality this really is a 1st world problem and he did show up a few minutes later with some garlic bread that I guess they had managed to scavenge from somewhere, but after throwing it back in the oven to reheat again it came out like a rock. I will say the food other than the lack of garlic bread was great, on most trips I would order the Nasi Goreng and peppered beef, both outstanding dishes. The real issue though is as you say, the footwell, if you are more than 5'8 or have more than one foot (I have 2 and they are size 14 US) there simply is no room to sleep, in this regard and honestly now that I think about it, the seat in J on the 787-10 is far superior.

[@angela4469]

[@michaelfreeman1634]

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)

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.

These new A350 business class seat look identical to their 777 business class, however bed mode feet space is so much smaller. Plus of course the table cannot be used in bed mode, a huge disadvantage, so I say Singapore airlines seat look much better than it really is.
