Is Singapore Airlines Business Class Really That Good?

It was a bit of a mixed bag on this Singapore Airlines Business Class 787-10 Dreamliner flight from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka!

babe wake up a new flight formula video dropped 🤩

[@FlightFormula]

Lfg

[@bg02261989]

I love the casuality of those videos. This channel is underated. Turkish Airlines has the exact same seats on their 787s and 350s.

[@ulfw]

Yes and it's utterly hated there too and no other airline on the planet bothered to install those crap seats

[@jimbo6059]

The seats are on the regional services. Their international services have a much better seat.

[@christianbayerstein5243]

That is the regional Business Class for short and middle range flights, it is awesome, in Europe you just get Economy seats in business class on these trips with and empty middle seat. In the US you get a recliner seat and that's it. SIA offers a fully flat bed with aisle access, clearly the best regional business class in the world.

[@judewndrs]

The BEST and MOST GENUINE flight review video ever. No need for tacky intro. You’re awesome!

[@FlightFormula]

Thanks but are you saying the intro is tacky LOL

[@judewndrs]

Haha I mean your intro is very straight forward and good unlike some other “tacky” ones 😆

[@keisuke5468]

My first ever business class flight was exactly on these seats on a SQ a350. I was an international student going to Sydney and used my savings to upgrade for 500$ USD on the first leg of the flight 😂 people might bash me for it, but as an avgeek I couldn’t help myself but experience it cuz I’ve been watching about aviation and all the luxuries with it since the age of 5. Money well spent for me and definitely motivated me to make a living to fly business/first regularly. 😅 But awesome video man. I love your videos so much and I’m surprised you have so little subscribers compared to the quality of the content you deliver. Definitely can see you blow up in the future ❤ keep it up.

[@FlightFormula]

Definitely worth it for $500USD! Thanks for your kind words!

[@boardingcall1593]

Hey mate what points earning card do you use, t3 is where most of the Singapore flights leave from. At least with book the cook you always get your choice

[@FlightFormula]

Ahh I’ve got a few, ANZ, CommBank, AMEX, I would really recommend them, they’re just the ones I currently have in rotation.

[@airlinesarefun]

Always been a class act for me since the late 1980s Econ executive economy raffles business and First. Inaugural flights on the A380 being the most fun. You kids have a lot to catch up on!

I like your videos man. I just flew their 777-300 business class and I think you would have liked the seat there better. No seat is perfect, but I loved it and highly rec to everyone now.

[@travellinman382]

Flew Business Class (A350) on SIN-EWR 18 hour flight. It was amazing. Not just the incredible seat, but the service too! Singapore Airlines is my favorite.

[@FlightFormula]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gigifromnewyork4194]

Nice video, I was gonna ask who you were talking to :D

[@geraldndoro1]

Could you please make a video breaking down how you leverage credit cards to gain points, benefits and access to lounges? that would be so insightful. currently trying to get my head into this game but I've experienced several migranes thus far.

[@adeafningsilence]

8:19 "how do the other airlines do it" -> deaf people can read subtitles

[@adeafningsilence]

no hate tho; you're killing it with these vids. but I will say, skipping the pier lounge w/ CX was a cardinal sin.

[@FlightFormula]

True but then you’ve got the multi lingual issues that go along with that but now that I think about it I wonder what type of sign language they had!?

[@adeafningsilence]

@@FlightFormula sign language is different in different countries, so there’s not a universal sign language that can be understood by all.

[@Normalaatsra]

Smart move to move yourself to T3 in Changi to enjoy a better lounge. T2 has a lot of memories for me as I've frequented flying SIA growing up, but I never visited their lounge ever as the things you can do in the main terminal back then were are plenty!

[@TequilaMario]

the carpet is the best thing to cancel the noise. and it is nice to walk on it.

[@da480]

Totally agree. Hard product is not #1 in the world by a long shot

[@dantanfly]

Nice one!

[@FlightFormula]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@debbebuhat]

I love flying business as always❤especially long hours flights

[@Yuke1976]

The carpet is to absorb the noise so the airport is very quiet and peaceful.

Great review - fly SQ often, think you'd have a better dining experience on a long haul. Why no chicken satay?!

[@rodney6610]

0:26 Is the nose cone on that 787 held by duct tape?

[@FlightFormula]

Hahaha yes indeed

[@CSM393]

I agree with the seat situation, I flew the a350 Sing-Syd regional and it was cramped. Shame, everything else was world class.

[@bingbong7777]

The contactless payment in the seat cubby is for duty free purchases.

[@pointyend-secrets]

Love your work mate! The 787 Regional Seat definitely isn't their best, and the T2 lounge is awful, luckily the crew and food always makes up for it! Ive flown all their seats and the 787 is definitely the bottom! Keep up the good work!

[@homeland2710]

mevvah, seru banget penerbangan bersama Singapore Airlines 🎉

[@nilskyproductions]

Hey man great video. Interestingly, The 787-10 was a recent deployment (when I say recent, I mean March 2023) for the SIN-CMB route. Prior to this it was operated by the A350 for a couple of years. If you’re interested, you could check out the comprehensive economy class review that I did for this same sector, available on my channel. Funnily, just about every SQ aircraft has operated to CMB at some point (except the A388 of course) As always, keep em coming big man!

[@telamin1809]

This is their regional-medium haul hard product. Flew it from Dubai to Singapore. Their long haul seat is by far better but for a regional product, it's still amazing. Turkish airlines uses the same seat on their long haul flights. The differentiator on SQ is always the crew. By far the best.

[@kierannelson2581]

You pretty much nailed my thoughts on Singapore Airlines. Phenomenal staff, service, food and drink. Lounges can be hit and miss and the hard product is a bit of a let down. Still a world class airline.

[@haydenbridge]

garuda indonesia next mate, are they really a five star airline?

[@Mikalfulton]

Im pretty sure the “credit card payment reader” is actually just the NFC tag, you can tap your phone from the app and upload your playlist or reconnect to where you were up to in a movie or show from a previous flight. But also, love the video and all the others 😊

[@FlightFormula]

I think that’s what the whole KrisFlyer log in on the screens about but you might be onto something!

[@aznmanese]

Hey! Hopefully you can try STARLUX Airlines based out of Taiwan. Safe flying!

[@lilmissy97]

you can buy duty-free things on flights (bottles, of alc., jewelry, make-up, etc.) so I reckon that's what the card reader is there for ;P just a guess though since I've never flown business on Singapore airlines

[@paichooblogs5188]

Have you flown EK, EY or QR?

[@FlightFormula]

[@pierrenine5775]

Great look at the SQ B787-10 experience. The seat is definitely the weak point. You`re not alone in having never flown SQ previously. To this day SQ is somehow one airline I`ve not yet experienced either despite having flown with more than thirty airlines.

[@A321_XLR]

why do i feel like i am always at the exact place you are but a week earlier or later singapore kuala lumpur bali more singapore(SELETARRR) Hong kong and LA

[@FlightFormula]

Well you are A321 XLR, where else would you be? 😂

[@avianlook]

The seat genuinely does look rammed in there, with the dimming buttons being blocked and all... Unique Choice on SQs end this one!

[@williamzhaohargis9384]

I like to be checked in by staff too 😂 just enjoy the human touch 😅

[@zj01]

Malaysia Airlines used to have a safety video with sign language! Back in the 2000s I think. I always found SQ food presentation is a bit messy and less refined that QR.

[@FlightFormula]

Interesting!

[@ctwsine]

Another great review, Simon! SQ biz is definitely not the best, there may be some premium materials here and there but it really depends on luck to meet crews that truly put passengers in their heart. In my experience the Taiwanese China Airlines has the best crew and industry-leading cabin product.

The crew are really just so wonderful. You actually sometimes wonder how they do it ( by which I mean they must sack a whole load off staff who aren’t always delivering 10/10 every time). I did read once that if/when a female employee goes on maternity leave, they can only return if they fit into the uniform they wore prior …. I’m glad shit rules like that are illegal in Australia, and elsewhere.

[@FlightFormula]

Hmmm yeah, you make some good points here, I guess there could be a darker side to it!

[@AH-gk8kn]

Singapore airline business class is great the only problem o had encounter is that when you turn your seat into bed the foothold area is too small making sleeping very hard

[@manha61]

Singapore Airlines have really messed up their Regional Business Class Vs Long Haul Business Class - for the same route, they can operate both types.... Furthermore, longer distances dont always mean Long Haul. FLights with the Long Haul business class features premium economy. Good Video!

[@j2simpso]

A big weakness of Changi airport is the lounges which I find aren't that great regardless of airline. Contrast that with LAX, arguably the nicest airport in the world when it comes to lounges and you've got quality lounges galore, from the Qantas First class lounge, arguably the nicest domestic lounge in the US to the Star Alliance lounge, Delta Sky Clubs, Centurion lounges, etc. Yeah there's a bit of a walk going between terminals, but you know what? At least you don't have to clear security at the gate! Oh and LAX doesn't discriminate against international versus domestic flights the way most airport in the world do.

[@iam_nick]

One "weird" thing I found is they have incredible pillows haha.

[@FlightFormula]

Yeah, I’m not sure if every other airline has terrible pillows or if they do just have incredible pillows.

Do yourself a favour and join Kris's flyer, especially the joints' accumulation of Virgin points as well Changi is huge and a bit more of preplanning and research would have helped you a lot. Also Scoot miles redemptions interchange etc is a winner with SIA . never had aproblem with their food . Although in cattle class EVA air beats them hands down 7 out ten for this one only because of your lac of situational awareness . PMSL at the goods lift (been there done that myself) spot on abot 73 lounges I always go for th elonger time between flight connection in changi and always enjoyable

I flew EVA on a 777 last year from LAX to BKK business class for about $7k. I was NOT impressed with the bed. Claustrophobic, just like this video describes for SA. And I did fly SA premium economy to Japan several years ago. Good service, no question. But cramped. Let's face it, unless you have a full bed like on Qatar, nothing else will do... Flying in a hollow aluminum tube in the sky with a couple hundred passengers putting out BTU and cramped quarters is not fun no matter what. Especially for a flight that drags on for > 14 hours ☹,
