Good upload. I love Singapore airlines. I'll be doing the New York to Singapore SQ21 flight and back in the fall for a second time (love it!), all 19+ hours. They do a great job and the Airbus A350-900 ULR is a beautiful aircraft. Hope you enjoyed Singapore. We actually just transit through Changi, Philippines is our destination. Thanks for sharing. ✈️👋

Thank you!

[@garyt7232]

Appreciate the vlog. Considering buying premium economy versus economy. With such a long trip, I think the added space and all of the amenities would make it worth the added expense.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Premium Economy is for sure worth it on flights of this long. The extra space and comfort in addition to better food and all is great

[@RobinOm27]

Did the same route a few years back, from SFO to SIN and then on to India.. then back the same way. Great airline for sure and Changi Airport offers so much to do just there itself. While for me its a transit point, as I'm getting to do that again soon, I plan to extend my transit in Singapore just to explore everything that luxury airport has to offer.. plus, Singapore itself has nice places to check out. Good to see the view outside the plane from premium economy.. though an open view of the ground below is highly important to me, so I think I'll just continue to stick with economy 🙂

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Absolutely! I can't even imagine getting off a 16+ hour flight just to get back on another flight! You're a brave man :)

[@GreenBush123]

I did the exact same thing! Good airline but a 16 hour flight is a little bit too much for me.

[@paultravis9216]

Great review, Patrick! I took this same flight back in April of last year, and then went on from Singapore to Vietnam, also on Singapore Airlines. Your experience pretty much mirrored mine, except I was way back in the last row in economy. It was an awfully long flight, and seemed as though it would never end at times.😀 That said, the outstanding service, the quality of the meals, and the overall comfort the spotlessly clean A350 offered somewhat offset the tedious length of the flight. I looked enviously at the Premium Economy and Business class sections during my flight, but economy wasn't bad, all things considered. I scored a really great deal on the tickets, so I can't complain. I suppose that was mostly due to Singapore just easing its fairly strict entry requirements in mid-April last year in an effort to kickstart its post-pandemic travel industry. I haven't seen a deal as good as that on SA since then, sadly. I just flew the SFO to SIN route again in June this year, but this time on United and on one of their 787s, which was just as long as the SA flight last year but nowhere near as pleasant.😒

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

That’s awesome! I definitely enjoyed my time with SIA. I personally enjoyed the United flights to Singapore as well, although obviously it’s tough to compare most products to Singapore Airlines

[@SoyTravels]

Nice review on this flight. Planning to take this flight too soon. By the way, I was wondering which camera are you using on your videos?

[@TM-uy4jg]

[@mikeparker6322]

The meals on Economy and Premium Economy are the same. I have done SQ 37 and 38 several times. Not worth the extra money. Also, the quantity of food for a 16 hour flight is inadequate. Now I just fly Economy.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Good info. How comfortable were the seats in economy? I’d be curious how the flight quality was and if you’re able to get a good rest.

[@mikeparker6322]

@@PatrickSheaAviation They were okay. Rest was ok because plane was only about 40%(Covid 19 effect). The food was not good because in the it was much better.

[@udayabhaskaram]

This video is so helpful, thanks 😅 I will be flying to San Francisco from Singapore shortly and I’m wondering if it is better to go with premium economy on United or Singapore airline ? Which has more leg room ? Kindly share your thoughts

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I thought Singapore had a bit more room, but I’ve done both and enjoyed them

I greatly prefer the PE seats on the SIA A350 over the 787 seats on UA

wow nice, I love planespooting!. Just curious, you didn't have to quarantine in Singapore? I'm not sure if international travel still requires that.. I did hear PCR test is no longer required though

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

We were actually booked in the Vaccinated Travel Lane which didn’t require quarantine. That being said, the requirement was lifted just before our trip. We were required to show proof of vaccination (or negative Covid test), but that was back in late April when we travelled so I can’t speak to current requirements

[@normansilver905]

If they are going my way I always choose to ride with Singapore Ai. 1st class operation.

[@thomasmooreCQ]

I'd love to try SQ's PE in the ulr version, if only to get one of the single seats. I'd try the book the cook service, since PE has access as well.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I would 100% fly their PE product again, very enjoyable!

[@opcal3897]

I just completed SQ33, sfo-sin then onwards to another 3 hours to mnl. I usually fly PR economy and its about 14 hours non stop to mnl. But I must say that the 16 hours in PE is not as tiring. A main attraction is of course Changi itself. We only had 5 hours layover and hardly saw anything at Changi as we rested about 2&1/2 hours at a lounge. Flying back we'll have 9 hours layover. I do think you need more time than 8 hours to explore Changi.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I agree, there was so much to do there. I gave myself 5 hours and there was still so much I didn't get to see. Next time I would definitely leave myself more time.

[@prahladnatchu]

Thank you for v informatic video , i traveled Chennai Singapore JFK bussiness class and return in july and september and again in the month of march this time Chennai SIngapore EWR Business class , one thing is v clear Singapore airlines easily the best airlines in the world , though i travel a lot in Emirates SQ the worlds longest flight is much better then emirates in friendly caring. and comfort

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I’ll be trying Emirates early next year, but Singapore’s attention to detail and the customer experience is one of a kind for sure

[@tsusara3095]

Patrick great video and narration. Was the premium economy seats comfortable? How was the seat recline and would you recommend bringing a neck pillow? Can I use my Bose headset it only has two plugs and will it work in the premium economy seat. Flying JFK to Sin in the end of the month wanted.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The seat was incredibly comfortable. I had no problem sleeping without a neck pillow. The recline and adjustable headrest was enough for me to get about 5 hours of uninterrupted sleep and then stay comfortable for the rest of the flight. They do supply basic pillow and blankets to use as well which can help if you have a window seat so you have a good place to rest your head. All in all though, for a 16+ hour flight, I never had any problems with staying comfortable

[@tsusara3095]

[@seandoherty925]

For clarity could you just say again which you thought had most room and comfort in premium economy, Singapore or United?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I’d say Singapore has a bit more room but both premium economy seats are great, although you’ll typically find better service on Singapore

[@chiragraju821]

[@deandecoursey2334]

I’ll be flying Seattle to Singapore to Bangkok on September 1 in economy. Did they get rid of the ice cream with meals? I’ll have plenty of time sleeping at Changi, as we land at 5:30 PM and I leave for Bangkok the next morning. I usually can’t sleep on planes

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

This flight was operated a few months ago but we didn’t get ice cream. If I recall correctly, we did get some on the return flight but it was more of a sorbet with one of the meals

[@kukatpally]

I flew from San Francisco to Hyderabad, India, on Singapore. They didn't give us ice cream on the longer-haul flight from San Francisco to Changi, but they were included with our meal on the second leg to Hyderabad. Your mileage may vary.
