I absolutely love the hospitality of SIA's cabin crew!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

They are amazing! Specially on this occasion, I even ended up writing them a compliment letter. thanks for watching!

[@CHAuto333]

This is the first video I have seen where the sponsorship promotion is not annoying but actually interesting to watch! I discovered your channel 8 months ago with the Delta A330neo video, and I believe that it is the best aviation video on KZbin (Best quality)! Hopefully we can see a report such as AMS-MSP or AMS-GVA on KLM!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks Benji, that was exactly what I tried to achieve! Glad I did! And I actually do use it, so it was far easier to explain without having to act and pretend. I’m booked on AMS-ATL next week, does that count?!😇 Not KLM though but Delta..

Always so generous with the comments Adam, thanks a lot! More good stuff coming up!! I had some interesting trips recently!

[@MultiSUPERLATIVO]

3:03 I recently read an article that explains why a great deal of airports use carpets. There is some kind of psychology involved. Many passengers who are afraid of flying use to feel more confident and there is a feeling that they are almost at home when they walk in a carpet. Well, at least to some people who live in countries where most of the homes have carpets. But overall, this is the core of the idea: to make the airport more comfortable and welcoming.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Those are facts that I love to know, Pierre! Thanks for sharing that! It indeed gives a more calming feeling and not really a “mall like” one. I fully understand. Thanks for sharing the info!

[@MultiSUPERLATIVO]

@@TheLayoverAviation You're very welcome! I never flew SIA but I have been following the history of that airline for a long time! SIA has always been on top of the list of every competition. Together with Asiana, ANA and Qatar Airways (this last one in recent years).

Sponsor allows me to fly more, thanks!😁 Yes, it’s my voice. I don’t think I would like to hear myself talk for a good 20 minutes through, so I guess it will stay this way😂

[@MilesMiser]

WooooHooo! Congrats on your first sponsor! Nice! Here's to 10 more soon! The crew was so nice to you, all those extras, amenity kits, I thought the bear and cards were the coolest! It never fails to amaze me how good economy meals are on other large airlines outside of the U.S. Makes some of the domestic Box meals I've gotten lately in so called U.S. FC look like rubbish. Sure looks like Changi airport is an amazing place for sights and food! I'll be there in a few months ;) How are the airport prices as far as food etc.? Thanks again for sharing and doing such an amazing job on your video!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks Miles! It helps investing it further into our hobby, so quite a milestone. The crew were top. I also think that meals on Delta were quite something (depending on which catering station). One of the best meals I actually had with them in Amsterdam. Prices in Singapore are spectacular, for 5 Bucks you can have a proper meal. I don’t think I paid more then 3-4$ for the food you saw in my video. It’s by far my favorite airport and can’t wait to transit there again. Have a lot of fun during your stay there!

I flew SIN-AMS back in 1989 with a KLM B747, the aircraft was amazing but KLM had such a crazy schedule: SIN-KUL-BKK-DXB-AMS...it took us 21 hours to reach the Netherlands with all these stops inbetween and guess what? Our onward flight from AMS to BUD (also KLM but a 737) was landing in PRG... By the time I got home I was so tired that was sleeping 11 hours and first woke up on the afternoon the day after :-))

This vid is right on time. I’m planning to do something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, and that’s attend the Singapore Formula 1 race in October, and this year looks like it’s going to happen. I’ve been looking at either Singapore Airlines for the experience, or Oman Air because they have cheaper fares for biz class. I live right across Sh. Zayaed highway from Abu Dhabi Int, but I’d rather take a 90 minute car ride to DXB than use Etihad in most cases now.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

The best fares I’ve found by FAR to Singapore are with Gulf Air, did you check there yet? I paid like 900aed for a ticket in Economy and later around 1200aed for Business Class bidding, and I got it. So imagine how cheap. Let me know what you eventually do! Have a lot of fun.

Cause I missed out on flying El Al so I want to try again, but not if those 3 hour lines are normal😱 Nobody sitting next to me is not luck! It’s a long process I actually work for! I always prebook a seat, pay for it and ensure to move as soon as I see someone next to me on the map. I also try to board last, wink an eye to the gate staff and ask to see the seat map to confirm any empty rows for last minute no show passengers. Have a great weekend too, hope you get to try SQ soon!

@@TheLayoverAviation oh buddy! sorry for your experience at tel Aviv airport :( yep, there are crazy lines in the airport due to low staff like all over the world but here in tel Aviv it looks like they(airport management) are all "surprised" there is a crazy demand since the Covid "Slow Down". now they are saying you need to come to the airport 4! hours before the flight, pure maddnes. did you travel across Israel? or only took the flights. hope you filmed something! and next time the experience will be better :)

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey Itai, I had to go for a lightning trip to prepare for an event ahead for next week. So I went in the morning and came back in the evening. I’ll return this week 2 more times to Tel Aviv if everything goes as expected. The lines were madness. I don’t have 4 hours extra. Neither did I have last time. I wasted 8 hours at the airport. Each time I missed a flight I would have to go back to the beginning. And the fact that I hold multiple passports and travel a lot made me a target, so I was under extra scrunity and checks. Now I’m prepared for the next time. Will fly with 1 passport and pretend I don’t speak English 😝 I only managed to film 1 flight, the inbound one. The rest I just slept throughout. But this week it will go better! See you!

[@ItaiGanor]

@@TheLayoverAviation cant wait! 😁

[@LeeAviation]

21:53 wait until you hear the A380 wheels when accelerating and when it comes down during approaching. It has an incredibly loud bang. 😂 I would also love to see you try Malaysia Airlines from KUL - LHR :)

[@TheLayoverAviation]

You’re righ, the 20 main gear wheels are loud indeed! I’ve got a video somewhere where I take a walk around the A380’s landing gear, have a look if you like: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rp6yoHV3hLmfmJY

[@nikolauswolff5791]

Yeah. That's Singapore. An airport that looks for a equal counterpart. Dubai & Incheon are close but only close. Singapore is a class of it's own. I mean Changi of course.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I hope Dubai World Central becomes a true thing and surpasses all the others. I’m frankly a little tired of DXB sometimes as it can get very crowded during peak hours. Haven’t been to Incheon in years! Hope to go soon.

[@Turbomax4247]

Does this IFE have onboard cameras

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I was not able to find them! And I flew SQ A350 again last week and I didn’t see camera’s either.

[@michaelbeck3766]

the A350 wing is a handsome piece of engineering. it is very streamlined thanks to the carbon fiber construction? the flap fairings are quite long as a rule, arent they? however even in full flaps config the wing looks very aerodynamically smooth. FYI the architectal firm of DBX is a chicago operation, Murphy Jahn. makes me proud as a chicagoan.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

The wing is sleek and nice indeed! Very well done by the engineers. The flap fairings are particularly long on the A350, I don’t know why.. I’ll have to investigate that! Thanks for giving additional info to my hometown DXB airport, never knew it was a Chicago firm. I hope to visit Chicago again soon!

[@longhaul2934]

Another great review... Thanks for your high-quality and informative Trip Reports Question... On take-off and once airborne, do the wheels continue spinning whilst being retracted ? Do they continue spinning even after the gear doors are closed and what stops them ?

[@get2dachoppa249]

Aircraft engineer here. The main gear wheel brakes are applied automatically during the retraction sequence to stop them from spinning before they go into the gear bay. The nose gear bay has two rub strips that rub against the nose gear tires to stop them from spinning since the nose gear doesn’t have any brakes.

[@johnkaranja3201]

@@get2dachoppa249 thanks for the clarification. Is this the normal procedure for all aircrafts ?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks for the great explanation!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks for your comment! I am happy you’ve gotten a great explanation already! Next time you watch a plane taking off close to you, focus on the main landing gear. You’ll see some black smoke coming off just after lift off. This is brake dust!

[@herbertthiery3331]

Big hot meal with no appetizer is something we normally do in Asia. As Asian we normally eat the main course only, no appetizer no dessert. This one probably cause its a regional asian flight so it adapts more to asian way

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks for the explanation Herbert! It makes sense. But in Asia there are side dishes and such too, no? It’s a very simple dish for a 5 star carrier. I’ll share some other experiences on SQ in the next week, including with the paper take away boxes..

[@ragsoh]

Hi greetings from Singapore. I am really happy to see your video and it is one of those videos that I wish will not end. Excellent quality and reporting. May I ask how you know which aircraft is going where and type of aircraft. Is it from Flightradar24? Just subbed your channel!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thank you very much for the lovely comment, I really appreciate it! Makes all the effort worth it 🙂 Yes, it’s from Flightradar24! I either check it live, or I write down the registrations and check them later in case I don’t have any Wi-Fi. Thanks for subbing, I wish you much more watch fun!

[@Dragflyer9669]

Nice trip report. Do agree that the carpet is making us hard to drag our luggage on it.. Just wonder what camera or device you used for recording? It's really clear and high resolution. And the software you used for making the caption/subtitles?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thank you! I just use the iPhone 13 Pro Max. Nothing anyone else can’t do! I used to film with expensive camera’s and such but not worth it. So much easier and mobile with the phone. The software used is called VN editor. It’s free. While not perfect is still does the job for me. Have a nice one!

[@Dragflyer9669]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you for your reply. In fact I watch your vlog the second time and I spotted iPhone when you filmed the lavatory. I will try to explore VN editor. The caption part is cool. Wish to see more vlogs from you.

[@lifedeservesachance]

I was waiting to comment why are they missing a snack service but glad to see that you felt the same. I also have two question Which airplane deployment does make the most noise ? Which engine is the loudest ?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

So in my opinion, the loudest gear deployment is on the A330. You can hear it well on my Lufthansa A330 video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJvJlZV3pchpf5I Loudest engine.. Well, the loudest planes are pretty much retired. But I find the B777-300ER in the back of the aircraft very loud. I can barely close an eye there😅 But I can tell you that the A380 and A350 are the quietest!

[@lifedeservesachance]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you for the reply i meant rolls-royce or GE or any other ? your thoughts does it have a difference in noise

Amazing review! Can i ask what you use to film outside the aircraft from the window? :)

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Always the Iphone 13 Pro Max! Super simple to use. I stopped using professional cameras

[@nabilkhosyi6517]

do you select your seat by yourself or was it assigned to you? if you do select your seat by yourself, I want to ask: does it include an additional fee?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I try to select the seat ahead as much as possible, even if I have to pay for it. I can’t remember if I paid for it at SQ, but I wouldn’t mind if I did because it’s important to have a nice seat to film.

[@l33wan]

How was the load oj this flight ? Heard it is difficult to get flights to DXB from SIN.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It was around 90%. It’s hard to book outbound from Dubai aswell. The prices are so high!

[@l33wan]

@@TheLayoverAviation when did u take this video ? Tried to book on jun 12th and was told flight was overbooked.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I never film and publish, I have like 50 different videos on my camera and will mix and match. If I don’t have much time to edit I’ll choose an easy video. And I want to mix airlines and quality. So this flight I think was taken at the beginning of May or late April. Whenever it was that Singapore opened.

[@l33wan]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thanks for the clarification. Was told by SQ and EK staff that the flights to and from DXB to SIN were overbooked for almost the entire month of June and was shocked to see empty seats onboard.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It’s quite full indeed, I can only find a few vacant seats in Business Class to Singapore. I also wanted to book SQ for our nanny to go on holidays but it also seems far too expensive than normally.. People must really have missed Singapore like me!
