Just looked at my stats, 75 SQ flights, 55 J and 20 F over 309K miles. 56 of those A380, and I have one to go which is 9VSKS. Best airline IMHO, very consistent. I prefer old business seats, unless you get front two bulkheads on new.

I have flown through Singapore, but that was in 1965 and I think it has changed a bit since then. It was from RAF Gan on a Comet, then on to Penang via KL and Ipoh on a Fokker Friendship, I think, though at this distance I am no longer sure! No catering on the RAF Comet.

[@kartikkantheti5690]

This lounge is still good. Compare it to the other longue in Delhi between 9:30 pm till 1:30 am odd that caters to all North American airlines. And if you know the air traffic in Delhi that is peak hours where you have atleast 10 -20 flights leaving in the night. It gets so packed u hardly have room to breathe let alone sit. I was flying Air Canada business to Toronto in Jan 2022 during the height of the Omicron variant and the lounge was really packed like a can of sardines.and really not very good

Digital passports will be very unreliable. Imagine when airline database crashes - they can issue new tickets and customers will soon forget about it. But if passport data is lost then it is a problem. Immigration data often lost too, but is not a big deal, passport is different.

[@soonerlon]

No surprises here. I worked for the Singaporean Air Force for 20 years and i was blown away by Changi Int'l and Singapore Air Lines. It's soooo easy to see why they're voted the best airport and airline virtually every year. The Singaporeans put a huge emphasis on high quality service. That's why their hotels are my all time favorites also.

9:33 Actually Singapore's Changi Airport shares runways with Changi Air Base today (which is split into 2 by Changi Airport itself)

[@leothompson2777]

last time I took a night flight, and possibly the last time I flew with Air Singapore, I drank myself to sleep and passed out on a row of 5 (the plane was almost empty, bar me and a South African dude who was my drinking buddy in the whole back cabin of the plane, while we just chatted with the lovely crew in the galley.) They really do let you sleep on there! I got a nudge a couple of minutes before landing, sat up, put my seat belt on, and we were in Sydney.

[@davidfancher5228]

I discovered your channel last June when I had been diagnosed with Covid-19. My wife and I enjoyed your trip reports as they took our minds of our uncertain situation. We were ill for almost two weeks. Fortunately we did not have a case that required hospitalization. It was a strange time for us and your videos helped. thank you for doing what you do.

[@herenow6953]

Hope you are both better now

[@herenow6953]

Ah Paul! You should've done a longer flight on the A380 - I did LHR - SIN in late 2019 in Business class on the A380 - but also went on SQ brand new A350 to Perth, then A350 back to SIN and then 777 to LHR - all Business class - and the best for everthing was the A380, next best and overall best sleeping was the 777 and last the rather lacklustre A350. I think I had x 2 regional variants (SIN - PER) and (BNE - SIN) but I found the seating very restrictive and style over substance. That said, after a year in lockdown, no travel allowed, I'd take ANYTHING SQ offered - because IMO they are THE best in the world. And love the Satay

[@visionist7]

The guy at the jetway asking about your ticket seemed kinda rude... a bit too United Airlines for my liking. Was he a Singapore employee or Delhi airport?

[@TheAircraftKing]

Great video! SQ has never failed to impressed me with their efficiency on their overnight india-Singapore routes. I regularly fly the night BOM-SIN route which is just a hair shorter than the one you took from del and they are always done with meal service and everyone’s beds are made less than an hour into the flight. Great to see that consistency out of DEL as well. Can’t wait to see your SQ12 videos, that’s always my personal favorite SQ route to fly :)

[@srilankanflyer1527]

SQ A380 Reminds me of the time when me and my family travelled to Shanghai in Business class from Colombo for $1000 Round trip !! Ah those were the good old days and this video is very nostalgic!!

[@patricialovell6862]

The old business class seats like these were far better than the new ones .

[@finnlewis1924]

Will we get another vid before the summer! No hate just miss the uploads 😢

[@alin84]

My first flight on SQ was from Manila to Singapore back in 1993. I was in economy, yet the flight attendant still greeted me at the door, showed me to my seat, and put my carryon into the overhead bin. I was floored by the level of service!

The Bureaucracy in Delhi Airport is INSANE! We went there in 2019 and I remember just getting off the plane to the carousel, we had to go through no less than 5 PASSPORT checks!

Paul you could have done A380 all the way from New Delhi to Los Angeles via Singapore since SQ11/SQ12 is the A380 direct flight to Los Angeles from Singapore via Tokyo Narita. JFK SQ25/26 pre covid-19

Legendary Indian Bureaucracy. Only country I've been to where (in 1996) they someone checking my boarding pass when I got off the plane in Delhi from London. Also had to fill a big form in just to go inside their train museum

[@charlieboy77]

Yes they do love to stamp paper documents don't they! Which given Paul's comments regarding digital documents makes India incompatible for a digital age, especially when it comes to international travel. I note despite embracing digital boarding passes Paul had to have a paper one printed off... just to have it stamped at the dedicated check point 🤦‍♂️

[@battlehawk77]

Yet another great video, Paul. :) That looks like an amazing business class seat. One can only imagine what the new product looks like. :) On a side note, the plane you flew on, 9V-SKR, was parked just 11 days after your flights and hasn't flown since.

[@acfbrown1]

Looks interesting. My parents were supposed to go on an A380 flight from Singapore to Sydney flight in November 2020 but it was cancelled. iI have never flown Singapore airlines and would like to travel from Manchester to Houston in the future.

So glad to see a new video. One of my favorite channels on KZbin!

[@benwilson9150]

Personally speaking I am not the biggest fan of the 380, I prefer the 787 in general. I have seen Singapore, Qatar, Qantas and have flowed Emiirates and none of the business class has impressed me. Qantas’ 787 and 330 plus what Virgin Australia had on their 330’s and 777’s completely impressed me, maybe that’s cause Australian airlines don’t really do first class and they put more effort into business, hence the potential reason for not being impressed by Qantas’s 380’s with first. The fact about the digitalisation of travel and the one hard copy real document being the passport, had never thought of it until now as well!

[@geoffgreen349]

I recently flew from Singapore to Bangkok,I was seated in the back section of the plane,two air hostesses gave the safety brief one could have sat it out as I was alone back there,it was funny but I couldn't have been happier with the flight,thankyou Singapore Airlines and scoot great job.

[@Roger_Stenning]

Passports are physical documents thanks to treaties, international standards, and lowest-common-denominator equality. Every country can access and work with a passport, but not every country can work with digital documents. Once the tech is widespread enough, I *can* see passports going digital, but for the moment, physical is it.

[@darkdestroyer8313]

Everything will be digitised, then you will be complaining when your quota of flights has been used up and you can’t ‘buy’ flights anymore as a quota is in force per person to restrict co2.

[@stephenhall922]

Paul, we are fyting Heathrow to Singapore next summer. We are retired so cash is a bit tight I was wondering if it was worth the £500 extra each to upgrade to premium economy? Stephen

[@OhHeyItsShan]

This is what I love about SIngapore Airlines. Two red meat choices (Indian) in the form of mutton and lamb and then chicken and fish as the non-Indian choices. As someone who doesn't eat pork or beef (or any type of red meat) it's nice to know that there is always a choice. I hate when airlines give 2 meat options and both happen to be red meat choices. If I'm being nitpicky, perhaps it would have been nice to have an indian non red meat choice but I won't hold it against them since they had plenty of options including vegetarian.

[@oliverbrookes27]

No surprise on the three checks before boarding, You can't beat Indian airports for stamps, stickers and checks before they let you on. I once had 12 different pieces of paper and stamps all checked at various points on a trip from landside to boarding!

[@bhojjadamotabanda]

How did you choose the Hindi song in the beginning? There are two constantly repeating lines "In the sky" and "birds are singing". It seems you chose it purposely to match with an air travel report.
