Having flown with middle eastern airlines the last 2 years I went back to Singapore for a try.
Well I found the business class product better than last time A HUGE IMPROVEMENT! The staff were great, the Sin - Per aircraft was updated from the last time I flew this route 787-10 now.
I wanted to fly the A380 from LHR- Sin but was full due to time of year (Chinese new year) so was a bit worried as last time I flew singapore the aircraft was dated and tired looking . However this was one of the updated planes and it was fantastic- I'd say it was one of the best flying experiences in my 30 yrs of travel (incl first class) . I really enjoyed the flight which at 13 hrs is a big plus. The chair was full flat as expected and very comfortable.
The ife and The Movies were not as expansive as Emirates but I had work to do so could live with that. The screen was NOT touch screen like the 787-10 which was a pain , I think this has been upgraded now on alot of long haul flights ? I think this is the only let down at the moment they should try and get some more blockbuster New release movies and shows....
Food was top notch I booked the chef and had the lobster (famous for SINAIR ) it was delicious. The wine was good, with Charles Heidseick flowing nicely but I did have to ask when boarded as it wasnt offered with the initial drinks.
Had a few hrs sleep no problems and the staff onboard were great with my little kid.
The wifi was complimentary but did drop a fair bit but I managed to get a bit done.
5 stars - I'm now won back over, sorry emirates. I will be flying Singapore more often now. WELL DONE on a great product.
Singapore lounge is one of my favourite- see my review of it. 5 stars
