Travelling from London to Singapore it turned out considerably cheaper to go LHR-FRA then FRA-SIN using Lufthansa then Singapore Airlines booked as a single purchase
Singapore Airlines lived up to their strong reputation and the A380 is simply the best long distance airliner. The Airline scored through the slightly bigger seating than its rivals and the efficiency of the staff. Talking to some of them they put it down to a family mentality in which teams often work together route after route.
The food was ok without being spectacular but we all loved the free snack bar of fruit, crisps and chocolate that was available throughout the flight as a supplement
The plane was 10 years old and on the outbound flight the handheld technology was showing its age but usable. Personally I found the film selection very good but the 20 year-olds said Qatar and Emirates was a better choice
With so much competition on the route I would still be led by the price but when all is similar Singapore Airlines would be our first choice. A further benefit to us was that we were flying on to Borneo so the tie-in between Singapore Airlines and its sister airline Silk Air made the transfers easy. I understand that by next year Silk Air will be subsumed into Singapore Airlines
