I have flown many times on Singapore Airlines over the past 15 years except during Covid 2020-2021.
I was looking forward to my flights booking again, but how the level of service has changed for the worst.
Cebu - Singapore was on budget airline Scoot, the low-cost carrier of the Singapore Airlines Group.
Nice meal served chicken and vegetables - up to standard for a budget airline. I paid $4 for a cup of tea. I was ready for the usual very good meal on the 2nd leg Singapore to Sydney. It used to be entre fruits with beautiful main meal, This time is was one meal - 6 chunks of chicken on a huge bed of noodles. And that's it. No veges - very plain cheap meal. I had a cup of tea and later an ice cream. Guess what - the meal on the Scoot the budget airline was far better than what was served on the main Singapore Airlines flight. No chance of a second cup of tea - the crew zoomed down the aisles with trolleys so fast, call out and they don.t stop. No drinks later in the flight except just before landing and water only. used to be regular service of juices AND a snack meal 60-90 minutes before landing in Sydney.
It appears this airline is making up for lost income during covid by giving less food and beverages during flights. Well on a nearly 8 hour flight on a top reputation international airline you do expect a meal of reasonable quality not at a standard below budget airlines.
Best they jack up the price by say $25 and give passengers the food and beverage service they are used to. I also might add I greatly miss the Chess game that was always in the Games in In-flight Entertainment. Chess should be a standard inclusion but they have taken it out. A budget decision?
