Survive on a 15-hour flight | Singapore - Los Angeles A350 | Singapore Airlines

Welcome back to my channel. In today's video I will showing you my flying experience onboard Singapore Airlines A350 from Singapore to Los Angeles (LAX). This is my first long haul flight after so many years of hiatus due to the pandemic. Initially I was quite nervous as I wasn't mentally prepared for such a long flight (approximately 15 hours). This is also my first time flying on the 9V-SJ.. series of aircraft. The new Economy class product is a refreshing one and SIA removed its foot rest for passengers to enjoy more rooms. As an overall, Singapore Airlines cabin crew are always amazing. They are efficient, friendly and professional. Legroom is good for me, however it wasn't a good for for those who are 180cm tall or above. Some changes are made onboard. Menu card is no longer distributed. You have to connect to onboard wifi and browse the menu using your phone. Economy class passengers previously received a simple comfort kit which consists of socks and toothbrush. And now if you need it, you have to request for it (subject to availability).
Previously, I saw many reviews about Singapore Airlines' appalling inflight catering. To me, the taste is still great and portion is generous. When you look at the meal tray, it wasn't as good as other airlines such as Starlux Airlines, EVA Air, ANA, Thai Airways and Emirates. (You may view my other vlogs and compare their meals and SQ). For the first time, I am giving a negative review about this airline. Many reasons are revolving around cost cutting and pandemic. Aviation industries are on the rise again and this is definitely not the reasons passengers or avid aviation would love to hear. This is really a sad sight. If you are flying on its B737max, you literally get a small meal box. Hot towel and inflight magazine were gone. However, e-literature is available in its entertainment system. As an overall, I still rate this as a good flight except the meal. They cabin crew are still the best, literally the greatest asset of the company. Flying with Singapore Airlines is still a good experience for mid-haul and long-haul journey. I hope SIA could improve its catering or meal and bring back some "missing" products or service in order to stay on tip-top level while some other premium airlines are emerging.

[@adrianloo1948]

I am a Singaporean and have always been very proud of Singapore Airlines and its slogan a GREAT WAY TO FLY ....with the amazing young, enthusiastic and attentive "Singapore Girl" in her Sarong Kebaya smiling charmingly as she goes round the world. True, competition has heated up, particularly with the Middle Eastern Airlines with great aircrafts, equally great meal choices (especially in Economy Class) and unparalleled pricing. After having flown with a myriad of different airlines across the globe in the last 2 decades, I do observe the slack in the soft touches of Singapore Airlines. Travelers are accustomed to the little details like real hot white towels, welcome drink as soon as the aircraft is in the air, snacks, lovely printed menu, in-flight magazines, daily newspapers.. and these are all gone (particularly after the Covid-19 Pandemic). Generally, the SIA service is still impeccable but other airlines are not far behind. Bring back all the soft touches if there is to be a difference. Even the lavatories are equipped with very basic amenities. I remember there used to be even orchid flowers in the economy class. What happened, SINGAPORE AIRLINES ? . Surely my comments and concerns are often reflected lately....

[@johnnyexplorestheworld4729]

totally agree with you....SQ meals have gone downhill.....from a frequent SQ flyer

[@michellebo8173]

My recent trip to New York, SQ Business Class (Non Stop) was a disappointment. Plane was old and not that comfortable for the legs. No touch screen. Food selection can be better, too much of the hawker fares in the book the cook from SIN to JFK, and the food selection for JFK to SIN route is almost non existent. They only offered 1 small bottle of water the whole 19 hours other than during meal time. And everything else you want you have to approach them. Once lights off after the meals were served, it's hard to see them around. I have to "catch" them to ask for coffee (yes, they don't ask if you want coffee during meals), sock, slippers, snacks, more water etc...quite a frustrating experience. the flight attendants were missing most of the time. But to be fair, when you are able to get hold of the flight attendants, they are very pleasant and helpful. On the way back, the lounge at JFK airport for Business Class was a JOKE. It's a lounge that built like a cheap food court that served only 2 kind of cold sandwiches and a few types of nuts and chips, just ridiculous. And the toilets on the plane wasn't cleaned properly and reeked of urine stench (and I'm the first to use the toilet). I guess this reflects the level of service JFK airport hub provides. If there is a next time, I will book the SIN-FRT-JKF. Never again with this non stop flight. I too missed the old days, flying with SQ just isn't the same anymore. Bring back the hot towels, real orchids, mouth rinse, !!

Yeah. People care more about big fish. That’s the universal truth. But Singapore Airlines is always famous for its amazing service and product in all cabins. We are not requesting for caviar or anything fancy provided that we pay only “peanut” compare to those flying in premium class. It’s just what people concern on a long flight in the long run.

Very good review there! A 15 hour flight from SIN-LAX would be extremely tough for me especially in economy class. Inside the SQ A350 they have the live TV where you can watch Live sport, bbc news, nbc news, cnn news. I had experience flying the SQ A350 (Medium Haul) from SIN-CAN. There are major differences from the long haul and medium haul A350 aircraft - seat configuration, seat trim, tv screens, entertainment. When I flew the A350 (Medium range) it didn’t have livr TV, but at least you get a choice of music, movies, tv shows, podcasts and more! The in flight map on the medium haul A350 displayed innovative features including the latitude and longitude, tail rego, flight number, date of flight. Fun fact: the entertainment screen in medium haul a350 is Thales, while the Long haul and ultra long haul a359 is Panasonic ex3 (with live tv).

[@Dragflyer9669]

Thanks for dropping by mate. I wasn't aware of the difference in mid-haul and long-haul A350's entertainment screen. Next time I should pay attention to it.

As for SQ12, I'm afraid that I couldn't give u the accurate info because I haven't been flying on B773ER for quite a long time. I think probably it's removed as well since they did it on all the A350 fleet. Hope it helps.

[@YourTravelBuddySG]

Thanks for the video. I read some of the comments that service standard has dropped. This is rather qualitative comments and it would be helpful to quote examples. Not working for SQ by the way😂. Personally, I don’t see their standard dropping in terms of service standard. But I do agree with their “box meal” service, it does look cheaper. But in reality, the cost of the box meal vs the previous method may be similar, or even more expensive. Presentation wise, I strongly agree that it’s inferior. I guess somehow, the airline would need to come up with something to eradicate this perception. As for food taste, I personally feel this is rather subjective and there are a number of hits and misses recently when I fly with them. Anyway, thanks for the content and it was well curated.

[@Dragflyer9669]

@@Dragflyer9669 Thanks for letting me know!! I will give it a try. Appreciate the info.

[@RB-rp6ud]

Economy meal service standards & portion has certainly dropped compared to pre Covid on Singapore Airlines.

[@Dragflyer9669]

True. I still had some pictures of those back in 2015, 2018. You can find a fruit platter, cake besides the main course. The one we have now is really disappointing.

[@RB-rp6ud]

@@Dragflyer9669 Indeed…you are correct. The airline is back to making good profit but is cutting back on catering in the economy class. I flew on Turkish Airlines & their economy class catering is way better & probably the best in the industry.

[@stsallace]

i agree. Things had changed to the worse. It wasn't like those during the 90s.

[@LeeAviation]

I 100% agree that their food is downgrading. I’m not sure why. I flew London to Singapore and got served rice, fish, sambal and vegetables. The vegetables had this weird gelatine thing on top that tasted of nothing. Then before landing for breakfast, I had noodles that were hard, solid and crunchy. You could literally pick up all the noodles in one go with a fork. Absolutely disgusting! I did a trip report on that flight so u can check it out if u wish. Best food experiences I had on any airline is Malaysia Airlines and Etihad. Great food!

[@Dragflyer9669]

Although there is room for SQ food to improve, I still gladly appreciate for what they have. I do agree as well, some flights, depending on the outbound port and catering services, the food quality vary as well. Usually flight to and fro like ICN, TPE, HKG, CPH and others, food are usually good. Last month I flew with Qatar, the food was great. Hopefully SQ can have that standard as well. :)

[@reginahernandez3509]

Did you fly over Pacific Ocean, or westwards passing by Middle East, Atlantic, etc.?

[@Dragflyer9669]

Flying across pacific ocean

[@pcmacintyre]

I still want to try SQ long haul. I flew EVA in PE from SF to BKK in January. The seats are getting old. On the return leg from Taipei a metal support bar was digging into my back (I had to use the provoded pillow as lumbar support). The catering ranged from decent (on the TPE-BKK legs) to atrocious (last leg from TPE to SFO) where chicken and pasta was dry and inedible, or a pork and rice dish where the rice was cooked wrong.

[@Dragflyer9669]

Thanks for dropping by my channel and watching my video.

[@minhthai2842011]

It’s true. Singapore airline is not 5 stars. Flight attendance ,services is far behind other Asian airlines. SÀ Food also bad. I choose SA if flights below 5 hours. If longer flight, there are many better choices. Japan airline, Ana, Korean Airline, even Eva or Vietnam Airline also better.

[@andrasch9]

This video showed me a disappointing flight, compared to my experiences 5-8 years ago. At that time they were the best airline in my view. Seems to be just good average now?

[@Dragflyer9669]

Indeed 5-8 years ago was far better; however, up to now, to me, they are still one of the best in the industries. Things start to take a turn for the better now.

[@jjjddd231]

I would refuse to put my window shade down as I purposely seek out a window seat and I want to look out anytime day or night. That flight attendant can go and take a hike.

[@Dragflyer9669]

For short flight you can do it as you wish. For long flight, shutting the window shade is to give all the passengers in the cabin a better atmosphere to rest, also to adjust to the destination time. Wouldn't it better if passengers can rest or sleep since they flight hours are long. If you insist, try to do that on a long haul flight and see what would be the reaction of other passengers. No surprise if they treat you as if you were a "KAREN". Sometimes, a little common sense with brain can bring a passenger goes far.

[@melanierodriguez1433]

On my Turkish airline flight they gave me a bag with socks,sandals,eye mask,ear cover and headphones. This was in the economy. Do they give you something like this here too? If not, I’ll just bring my own cause that was so useful

[@Dragflyer9669]

Before pandemic, yes. They actually still offered, upon request. Ear plug, eye mask, socks are also on request. Sandals, you might have to bring your own.

[@wbkkplanespotter4333]

I saw RSAF A330 MRTT on the left

[@azamshahuddin781]

I do hope that sooner or later my national airline-Malaysia Airlines-will have the same quality of services as Singapore Airlines.

[@Dragflyer9669]

True. I got your words. Malaysia Airlines is our national pride. We love it and of course we would like to see it performs on the par and competitively with the other airlines, keeping the standard high like CX, SQ, TG, JX. I miss those time when MH used metal cutlery and flight to and fro Kuching served "Nasi Lemak" or "Beef" which were so tasty.

[@heythave]

Until SA has a flight that anonymously dives itself into the ocean abyss, MA will never catch up.

[@_mrkjames]

Hi! Does all of the 3 seats have a power outlet? Thanks!

[@Dragflyer9669]

Sorry for the late reply. Just got back from SQ A350 flight. There are only two power outlets beneath the seats.

[@arebus445]

economy class ? i thought they're using a350ULR for los angeles, new york and san francisco routes

[@Dragflyer9669]

Yes economy class by the A350-900. The A350ULR is specifically used for SIN-JFK, SIN-EWR routes. And some SIN-SFO flights.

[@shirleyneo9665]

For PE, is the reclining same for all rows including last row?

[@Dragflyer9669]

I haven't tried the PE to be honest. Based on what I know, it has the same recline's degree for all rows.

[@ozusozudogruinsan]

Hi, when you stated “Here is my seat for the next 15 hours…”, I completely feel you my brother…😩. You ask yourself, what were they smoking when the manufacturers designed these planes and also their customer airlines who purchased these planes… PEA BRAINS! right? How can a person be expected to last in these seats that won’t recline that much (probably only a few inches or so), unable to stretch your legs, unable to comfortably sleep in a fully reclined position or enough that your head stays back instead of landing on the shoulder of the passenger sitting next to you or drop forward as if you were knocked out unconscious by an unknown force… 👽😂😂😂👽. Logic dictates that every person should have enough space to be reasonably comfortable so that you can go to sleep easily and not feel the PAIN of sitting in this position for 15 LOOOOOOONNNNGGGG HOURS which amounts to torture! YES, I SAID TORTURE AND IT IS EXACTLY THAT… A TORTURE. If someone is put in a situation or position in which it gives them discomfort/pain/stress, and it is undignified, unhealthy, painful, inconsiderate, disrespectful, this is called a torture. Yet, airlines continue to run their business in this way… Most airlines make their money from first class seating + CARGO. Other classes really don’t matter much. This is not where they make their money. So, why don’t they give better seating to the rest of the passengers in the loser class? Why the greed factor? I REJECT THIS WAY OF RUNNING A BUSINESS! If they want their airlines to stand for something and be different from all the rest, and stand out and set a new standard especially when it comes to these long haul flights, then, they need to think differently… Why do we put ourselves through this torture knowing in our hearts and in our minds that IT IS ALL WRONG ?

[@BillGreenAZ]

This is always a bittersweet flight for me because it means I will be leaving my Singaporean friends. Oh well. Until next time. I can't imagine taking this flight in Economy. The extra money for Premium Economy is well worth it.

[@Dragflyer9669]

Indeed the extra money for PY is worth it. An extra inch of seat width can definitely make a huge difference if it's onboard.

[@BillGreenAZ]

@@Dragflyer9669 For me it's not so much the seat width but the console between the seats so you're not elbow-to-elbow with the person next to you. Then there's also a better seat pitch in PE than just Economy.

[@BeebeeChew]

😊

[@eetan707]

Singapore Airlines must buck up the services standard especially the food regardless first or economy classes.

[@Dragflyer9669]

Agree. Hot towel before meals and mouth wash in the lavatory are also gone. Good that the appetiser is back.

[@stardex28]

For the short haul flight less than 3 hours, meal in box served onboard, poor quality & small quantity, make me less interest to fly SQ again in future.

[@Dragflyer9669]

Seriously. I have the same thought as well. I may lower down my expectations, but the small meal box portion makes me wanna have even more. If I'm not mistaken, flights to Bangkok and Taipei on 787-10 and 350, passengers were also served in those small meal box? If it's true, that's really unlikely to get my disapproval.

[@l33wan]

Was shocked as well when I saw the box on a flight to Yangon. Seems alot of these shortcomings are done under the guise of sustainability.
