The plane was absolutely packed. We had seats opposite a small galley area and as soon as we boarded we noticed a high pitched whine which was extremely disturbing. As we’d had a very long flight from LHR to Changi with the same horrendous noise we were really anxious about yet another flight with such an overwhelming noise.
We asked the staff what on earth it was and they said it was the fridge compressors and that they would do something about it when we had taken off.
The noise continued for about an hour and thankfully it then stopped.
Unfortunately the woman in front with a child of about 4 or 5 allowed her to continually bounce about and jump from seat to seat. She used her mother as a trampoline, and each bounce meant my drink sloshed about and the screen jumped. It was a horrendous flight and I wish I’d asked staff to do something about it. This woman appeared to have nothing to amuse her child and one can hardy blame her for misbehaving. It’s bad enough for an adult but awful for a child.
There were no snacks available on this flight but the food was good with chicken, carrots, broccoli and potatoes and a delicious but small gourmet choc ice. The afternoon snack was a hot quiche which was ok. We would have welcomed a snack during the flight though.
The entertainment was excellent with plenty of choice and a big screen, with the best sound of any flight I’ve been on.
Singapore Airlines is still our airline of choice despite this awful flight. It’s clean and service is good, and the entertainment is superb.
