Who else appreciates that Simply Aviation focuses on Economy Class reviews instead of Business Class or First Class seats that most viewers won’t fly? SA truly cares about the viewers’ experience 😊

What makes Simply Aviation different from others is that they almost always focus on economy travel which 90% people have to board. I felt like I traveled with them while watching the video.

I travelled from Dhaka to Sydney via Singapore on Singapore Airlines. I upgraded myself from economy to business on their a350 for 500$ on the Dhaka to Singapore flight. For a student like me, it was massive amount of money but boii was it worth it and motivated me to be successful enough to fly business regularly. And this Brutally Honest just gave me nostalgia

I am Singaporean and what's funny is that I always see foreigners, especially Westerners, fly Singapore Airlines and rave about every aspect and there's me going goes "uh, SQ again..." whenever I get the chance to travel. That's very much the avgeek in me, but I am proud to call SQ my home airline. They weathered the pandemic well, their service is consistently good, and seeing one of their planes abroad and getting aboard is like coming home.

Singapore airlines really overhauled the A380 cabin compared to when you guys flew it 5 years ago. Singapore airlines also offers FREE Wi-Fi now, which started in July! All you need to do is sign up for their free loyalty program and that’s it!

I actually appreciate the security checks at the gate at Changi because that makes getting through immigration super fast and as long as one makes it to the gate on time, one is unlikely to miss the flight even if one has to queue a little at the gate. This system actually means more airport personnel is working on security checks as compared to those airports that only offer a common security queue.

Brother, your channel is beyond the best in regards aviation/travel/flight when compared to other KZfaqrs. Factual. No-hype. Informative. Straight to the point. Thank you for being a breathe of fresh air!

man I feel bad for the parked A380. It is one if the best planes that I have ever been on.

catering is one of the first things airline cut back when they need to reduce cost, but the fact you still get a hot meal in a sub 4 hour flight already beats pretty much every airline in NA. Plus their hard product is still top tier.

As an Australian, I've now made SQ my go to for Asian flights as they run rings around Qantas. I've already done 6 economy class flights with them this year on their 737-8, 787-10 and A350 regional product. All flights were very comfortable and I'm always super impressed by their service and cabin. I look forward to my SYD-SIN A350 flights booked for September 😊

I absolutely hate it when airports put security right before the boarding gate due to the issue with having to dump out water right before boarding; knowing that Changi airport knows about this truly shows how good the airport is

The fact is the Singapore Airlines crew can serve hot food on 1 hour and 30 min flights from SGN to SIN definitely amazed me. Last year, I flew with their regional business class and I am satisfied with the service and had the best meal ever in flight.

Came here after I heard some news that Singapore Airlines became the *Best Airline of 2023 at Skytrax World Airline Awards* decrowning Qatar Airways who just dropped down to 2nd place… and this video proved it that Singapore Airlines is a MUST choice for traveling when you need a transit in Singapore (in this case, I'm in Jakarta and whenever I want to travel to Newark, Singapore Airlines is the only option here for the direct flight to Newark)!

Thank you so much for this wonderful video! I got veryy excited when SQ224 was said, as it is a flight I board almost every year and I have many great memories with Singapore Airlines. As usual, the video quality was fabulous, and I am looking forward to the next one!

Another great video. Keep up the great work David,Felix and Simon 👍👍

I think I've traveled with Singapore Airlines only twice in my life up to this point. One is a mid haul from Singapore to Hong Kong and one a long haul flight from Singapore to Amsterdam. Both were some 25 years ago. I remembered that they were excellent trips. Too bad Singapore Airlines are way too expensive for my budget these days. But I hope I'd be able to experience their excellent service again someday. Excellent video!

Hey David i think this video is your video in a very long time... Awesome video man as usual i am happy to see your video ❤❤that too reviewing my most favourite airline I think you will be happy seeing Austrian B777 in Bangkok airport

I'm flying to New Zealand (via Singapore for a few days) on Singapore Airlines in 2 weeks, and this has just made me even more excited to go! I just hope i can secure a window seat at check-in or even an upgrade of some sort! 😅

It's my dream to fly with Singapore airlines on long-haul. I flew with them on route BCN-MXP last year and it was fantastic! ❤ This route continues to SIN. I tried only short-haul part. And in business class. ✈️ Crew were extraordinary, I was so happy and views from large windows in A350 were nice, too. 😊 What a wonderful flight!

I have travelled from los Angeles to Singapore it is the best experience i ever had in my entire life

SQ’s 787-10 economy class are quite great. I also did the TRIP REPORT on my channel.

Nice review like usual🎉 well done

Great review as always David! Glad you flew on my national carrier and visited my country.

nice review, more reviews to come. Big fan of this channel

I had the pleasure of flying SQ last April, to SG on the 787, and back home to Manila on the A350. Since then, I never get tired of telling my family and friends about my flights on SQ, that's just how amazing they were. Now, I'm facing a long 8 month wait to fly with them again in February. If nothing changes until then, I'll be back aboard their 787 and A350 again. So damn excited to run it back with SQ

You’re so thorough with your videos. Good job.

Those were two very smooth landings! Thank you for your videos. I’m flying from Aruba to Barcelona, Spain via Bogota, Colombia with Avianca in a month time. I’m going to try and make something like this! 😅

I really enjoyed this review, further, I really appreciate the avgeek level the review gets into, going into airline and aircraft specific details you normally don't see. Thanks for a great review!

Finally, a video that includes Perth (where I live)!

Amazing video! :) Thanks!

I flew the 78X to NRT and back last month, overall the product is very good but having 301 economy seats do slow down the meal service a bit and I do see the crew getting a bit overwhelmed when there’s an influx of passenger requests. Also another thing I observed is that SQ serve only one main meal while ANA on the same route serves one main meal and one pre-landing snack and drink. I do wish they provide premium economy on these planes since traveling couples will have a hard time trying to find the right seat in this cabin, they could either hope for an empty middle seat or try to book the rearmost seat but those seats are very often blocked.

Yay, Simply Aviation (Brutally honest) has now flown out of Perth! My home city. Great review as always! SIA always delivers

I have been waiting for the SQ 787 tripreport, I remember I commented on one of your video to make this video, thank you so much

What an awesome video man!

I found the difference on 9V-SMS vs 9V-SHA clear. SHA is for 3-8 hours, feels more squeezed. SMS is for 8-13 hours Did CPH-SIN-BNE last year and it was worth the doh...

Traveled in May with Singapore Airlines from Copenhagen via Singapore to Manila to visit my girlfriend! Economy all the way and I felt like a king anyway! Good service, comfortable. Gonna do same trip in January/February again and looking forward to do it 😊!

Nice to see little old Perth get a look in. The new Airport rail line is well worth a go. As for SQ, they really are brilliant.

Fantastic review guys!😸

That was great, i loved it ❤

I like the layout of this vid. It’s a mix of a tripreport and brutally honest etc. I like that it’s narrated but doesn’t make it too much about a presenter. Good job

Excellent takeoff by the captain not to high not too low either!

Great to see my home city of Perth again on a trip report! Haven't seen many

WOW David, Really impressed by your intro!!! Please tell us how you do it and what softwares do you use.

Oh god your back let’s gooooo

A very interesting video😊 I have had the pleasure of flying Singapore airlines long haul, most recently in August 2018, from Christchurch New Zealand, to London Heathrow, with a stopover and plane change at the fantastic Changi airport in Singapore😊 I flew from NZ on a 777 for a 10 hour flight to Singapore, then after a few hours layover at the lovely Changi airport, boarded an Airbus A380, for a 13 hour journey through the night to London. I was extremely impressed with Singapore airlines in flight service, and hope to be able to fly with them in the future if I can😊

I flew Singapore Airlines to Bali from the UK with a layover at changi… 14hrs direct from England to Singapore was so good the time flew by.

Flown on the business class on the newest A350 on Starlux and 787 on EVA few weeks ago, I will say 787 still better, the windows really make a huge difference; the inside of the 787 feels taller, could be the overhead bin design? on the A350 I kept bump my head into the bin 😅

Great flight and reviews.

I recently travelled on SQ PE and Economy, the hard product was good, but the rest was average. I have been watching reviews of other airlines like Starlux, ANA and JAL, and Singapore Airlines really have to up their catering game🙃

I have to say that having not travelled with SQ since 2018, I was impressed with the products they offered. I was particularly impressed by the SATS sustainable catering offerings. Those small lunchboxes pack a tasty punch and I quite like the wooden/bamboo cutlery. I felt I was fed more between CGK and SIN with SQ than I was with BA between LAX and LHR. Also, the A350-900 felt just as familiar and comfortable as the 777-300ER they use on the CGK sector.

I Havent Experience B787-10 Yet,Singapore Airlines Have On Of The Best Economy Product Out Ther My Opinion .Great Trip Report

Singapore Airlines is the best airline in the world and for good reason.

Nicely done mate 👌 ❤Singapore Airlines❤

I think their reason to put security checks right outside the gate is to minimise noise when they announce boarding groups so that it is quieter in the terminal.

19:15 By the way SATS has since diversified beyond airport ground handling services & also offers food catering outside airports e.g. MICE, military bases

Love your videos

I'll be flying JFK-SIN and SIN-ICN one on the ULR, one on the 78X. Looking forward to both trips!

The mid haul A350 is also used to Dubai and the 787-10 to Delhi and Mumbai

Very nice David I love the coverage. I want to see TAP Air Portugal in a brutally honest ❤

Since you showed Batik Air Malaysia in the earlier part of the video, just wanted to share the news that Batik Air Malaysia will start a KUL-DBX using their B737-8 soon. Thats nearly 8 hours on a narrow body.

Excellent review. ❤

I fly SQ SIN-MNL December 2024. Seated in row 59 👌. The 787-10 has the shortest range of the 787 series, which is why it's limited to medium haul routes. But I think the A359 takes care of those long haul routes

5:42 just an observation. Most Asian passengers do not like cold air blasting on their face hence part of the reason why the individual air vents are not prioritised in SQ. I’m sure cost savings is the other factor.

Personal air vents are a feature of the flight manufacturer and not the airline. I too do a fair amount of travel and what I have noticed is that the personal air vents are outdated and only available in the older short haul smaller flights like A321 or lower. Wide body jets don't anymore feature those personal air vents.

I will travel from Tokyo to Paris with SGA i can’t fait !! Thanks for this review and all your reviews on economy class

Miss flying with SIA. Frequent flyer not only SIA but others too. Haven't been travel since covid happened.

If you guys notice, the mid-haul A350s have different maps compared to their remaining widebodies fleet B777; B787; A380 and even... their long-haul A350s. However, honest to say, I can fly their B787-10/A350-900MH on even longer routes which can be around 12-13 hours. SQ really deserves the best airlines titles

I love this series, are you planning on taking a route to Chile? (Latam airlines)

07.09 Batik will be coming soon to Auckland from Perth. Will be another long haul trip for a 737Max

the problem of SIA is the price lately. when I travel for work i do use it, but for personal use it's either mile redemption or other options.

Do really all 787s have dimmable windows? I flew them in 2018 (United) and 2019 (LATAM) and I don’t remember the ones I flew on had them.

Good flights, but I agree with David that the breakfast provided on the first flight (Perth-Singapore) could have been a bit more substantial. I have heard from a good number of people that Singapore Airlines have cut back their catering to some extent. The breakfast flight I had from Nadi to Sydney (4 hour sector) earlier in the year on Fiji Airways was much more substantial than the offering on this SQ flight.

7:36 Qantas B717🥲

That indoor garden in changi airport, really is a foot massage sort of garden. Those stones on the "path" are meant to be walked on bare footed.

What was the seat width like on the 787-10. Old reliable seatguru had the width listed as 18.9 inches which I'm almost certain is a lie but I was wondering how it was... especially compared to other 787s with the 3-3-3 config

david, kapan kamu jalan-jalan ke denpasar?

Go perth! Get in there kents 😊

A perspective to consider: It is with great regret that the new recent in-flight SQ meal presentation in Economy class, which started during pandemic era, does not look appetising nor elegant anymore. While I could understand the need to reduce surface contact, cost-cutting measures, etc. during pandemic years, it is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated meal presentation towards pre-pandemic SQ standard. Previously, SQ meal presentation looks elegant, high-class, proper, well-thoughtful in every aspect so as to have a luxurious feel even on a short one-hour Jakarta-Singapore flight which compliments other aspect of world-class SQ label. For instance, in every Economy class pre-pandemic SQ meals consists of: proper metal cutleries set only, a refined white-colour plate for the main dish, a transparent classy glass cup, small cylindrical pre-packed mineral water or orange juice, additional coffee/tea offering by stewardess in a proper transparent cup as well as rounded bread offering, basic seasoning: salt pepper butter, two finest white-colour square plates for the side dishes with transparent lid showcasing their contents: chocolate cake / desserts / green salad/ two or three types of colourful fruits. All of these are placed against darker-colour tray, enhancing its colour contrast. Exquisite indeed! However, nowadays as also shown in the flight review above, for Economy class in-flight meal, cheap-looking brown takeaway cardboard box is used instead. No more metal cutleries in some flights route. To a certain extent, that is not how it supposed to look for five-star airlines. In addition, many components are removed and black-coloured thin cheap-looking plastic plate is used for the main dish instead. A comparison of current SQ in-flight meal presentation with pre-pandemic Economy class of other five-star airlines competitors such as Emirates reveals how disappointing and dissatisfying it is. It is hoped that SQ could return the sophisticated Economy class meal presentation again once pandemic impacts becoming more manageable in a foreseable future.

I have flown Singapore Airlines on the PER-SIN on both the 787 and the A350. Unfortunately, I must say I prefer to fly the Qantas A330 on the route, simply due to the fact that I find the seats on the SQ 787 and A350 uncomfortably narrow. All other aspects of the flight are always amazing, but I really do value comfort over the five star service SQ provide.

Hey just wondering can you do a video of going to larnaca please. It would mean so much to me and my family

We flew SQ exclusively for the last twenty years. But $3,800 MEL -MUC this August changed that. Hoping they can win us back next year.

I actually flew from perth to singapore on their 787 10 and its actually good

Good vid but u need or try kuwait airways 777-300er it’s rlly comfortable

Flying to Singapore on the A350 out of Brisbane tomorrow. First time with Singapore Air..

You should get a decibel-o-meter and take cabin volume readings in flight. This will vary greatly depending on seat location and aircraft type, but could be really useful information that almost nobody provides. The A380 is the quietest and most comfortable aircraft I've ever flown, the A340 comes close. Boeings tend to be louder.

Hey if the mongolian b787-9 goes on comersial flight try it out it arrived on august 11th

They look very comfortable.

Thank you for all your work dear Simply Aviation team! We appreciate your work, for all your tripreports and your original series, Brutaly Honest! Thank you for that you do more Economy Tripreports, wich we can really experience (of course we thank you for business, premium economy, and first class too!) So Thank You very much...❤ -Sergeant TSeveN

Simply Aviation is the Singapore Airlines of the youtube travel review channels.

Hooray, Udders ice cream is served, a Singapore brand

Could you guys try the new emirates a380 premium economy. I’m traveling to Dubai and would love to see how it is

Just miss their towel service before take off, they reduce meal portion as well , but yes it’s still best choice for Asian return back home

Pls do long haul economy config on the A350 its quite nice and is very different from med haul A350s maybe Sin -> Man. Sin-> man has a high chance youll fly 9V-SMF a long haul A350 also the 10,000 airbus aircraft

I'd love to see you do a brutally honest review of JetBlue's transatlantic service in economy from the east coast to London, Paris, or Amsterdam!

Hey Simply Aviation, I have a question I've been wanting to ask to certified flight reviewers. How do you guys get to record the takeoff and landing and the whole flight itself because when I flew with Air Asia Philippines I got warned at climb to not record. I was using my Cellphone and a Car Holder with Suction. I think it might've been too large what do you recommend for me to use to record my flights? also when I flew with Cebu Pacific they didn't warn me and I was using the same exact device and holder on the window.

I had the chance to fly the SQ 787 from Perth to Singapore and the entertainment system was good - live TV. But they didn’t have the games on the in flight entertainment. People had to download the SQ app on their phones and other devices. Next I flew the SQ A350 from SIN-CAN - the in flight map was much better than 787 (at least they show innovative features including tail registration, wind speed and information on nearby airport.

Do these planes allow you to connect to their entertainment systems with your own Bluetooth headphones?

im from Perth too 😮😮😮

Hello. Amazing meal service. I spent the same amount of time on a United Airlines flight between San Juan Puerto Rico (SJU) and Chicago O'Hare (ORD) and the only "free" meal service was a round of beverages and some snacks (you had to pay for the snacks) and the time I flew was around 13h30 (supposed to be Lunch time). Abysmal, a very poor product offered by United. Unbelievable how the Kris bird logo is still innovative and a truly timeless company brand identity.

From July 2023, SIA offers full journey complementary Wi-Fi for all Kris-flyer(free to register), even in economy class
