[@tmoaviation]

Thank you!

[@liebnhaider]

that was a nice review! awaiting my SA max 8 flight from Changi to Phuket! I am amazed by their mid haul performance, even with entertainment on board.

[@tmoaviation]

Thank you so much! I’m glad you enjoyed my video. I’m sure you’ll enjoy the SQ 737 MAX

Another happy landing

[@jamessayers4046]

great trip report! love all of the thumbs up!!😄

[@tmoaviation]

Thank you!

Nice trip report. What an interesting way to provide milk lol

[@tmoaviation]

Yes indeed! Milk… in a stick!

Wonderful weather in SIN for plane spotting! Though, I'm surprised Singapore Airlines uses a narrow body plane for a trip to Australia. Most if not all the the other cities they fly to in Australia are served by wide body. They are also actively repositioning A380s to serve routes like Melbourne and Sydney. Believed you had a great flight! As a Singaporean, I am proud and humbled that you had an amazing experience on our national carrier 🥰

It was very sunny and clear as we departed Singapore and flying over parts of Indonesia! I believe SQ also fly the 737 MAX to Darwin on some days. Otherwise it’s the 777, A350 and A380. It was a great flight and the Singaporean hospitality is truly amazing! Thanks!

@@tmoaviation Awesome! 😁

[@issacsmith3169]

They late reply but as of April 2024, They have started operating A350s to Cairns

[@doovyt7]

Fun fact: This exact route will be replaced by an A350 next year.

Business class is 🤩

[@syedputra5955]

These max 8 can fly quite a distance. Batik air fly between kl-melbourne

[@tmoaviation]

They’re an impressive aircraft!

[@hanssamson5436]

I notice that the engine startup on the max is quite long than the 737NG

[@tmoaviation]

Yeah the MAX's have CFM International Leap-1B engines which have a notably longer motoring period (Engine start before fuel is added) than other engines. It's also a thing on some Airbus A320neo family aircraft as well as some are equipped with the Leap-1A's.

[@hanssamson5436]

@@tmoaviation I flew on 737 max 8 recently, my experience was pleasant and I don't feel any difference along with other airplanes since max MCAS kicks in and behaves the same way as other 737

[@sandybottom6623]

Looks like it's a case of bring your own everything - hot towel, food and drink and entertainment.

[@samuelselvarajselladurai2960]

How many hours is the flight from Singapore to Cairns?

[@tmoaviation]

About 6-7 hours. Even though it’s operated on a 737, it’s still pretty comfortable

[@demiphillips9770]

Hi 😊 Did you prefer the Singapore 737 or a350?

[@tmoaviation]

Surprisingly I preferred the 737! Although I might’ve preferred the A350 more if it had the new seats since it hadn’t been refreshed yet.

[@kansai07]

so there was only a single meal service on this medium-haul flight? As with the par of SQ, I would expect to have a pre-arrival snack before arriving into CNS

[@Kimichi_e]

How did you get two pieces of bread even though one meal gets you one?

[@tmoaviation]

Life finds a way! Joking my sister didn’t want hers so I took it

The flight captain have a bad habit, shaking kaki.
