The flight between Brisbane to Singapore:The plane was a newer model, good size screen and phone charging through usb, however internet was not available and if it was available it was at a cost. Have used Turkish Airlines and Emirates previously and they provide free internet. Food was terrible and i ended up getting diarrhoea from it.
To top it up my connecting flight to Istanbul delayed for 3 hours. The plane Singapore Airlines decided to designate for an 11 hour non stop flight to Istanbul from Singapore, was like an ancient plane and an embarrassment to Singapore Airlines. I could not believe the how overrated they are. There was no mobile phone charging available, tv screens were old and not working, smaller toilets in size. It was an old plane. The funny thing is the plane that i traveled in from Brisbane to Singapore was a much newer and comfortable plane and the travel time is about 8 hours, however Singapore to Istanbul takes about 11 hours to fly and they make their customers travel in a crappy old plane for that long. I do not understand their logic. I thought coming back to Australia, Singapore Airlines would have some sense and logic but unfortunately they do not seem to have one as they have done the same thing by putting the same model of plane to the same destination. 11 hours of torture with no internet or even a phone charging socket. Also in my return trip between Istanbul and Singapore i was not happy with one of the flight attendants which i ended up complaining to the supervisor during the flight. To sum it up, i have always liked Singapore Airlines and had good experiences with them, however this trip was very disappointing.
