What a great video..almost my video of the year 2021:) Really comprehensive, systematic, great photography, no stupid music, great graphics, great narrative ..wow..really top notch. So why not video of the year? I just missed the menue and the wine list..seriously..they are a must on such a top notch video. But then..hm..i still rate this one VIDEO OF THE YEAR despite those little shortcomings. And why? You did something i never saw on any other video: the seat map indicating the seats without windows..my most hated seats!!! So great!! How can we get every trip reporter to do this? I admit: also on my vids i never did this, but just for the lack of technical skills (any idea to help me?) . Finally: at 10 am typically we dont have beer in Germany (I like the joke of course)..its just the business people in the LH Senator Lounge, probably..though, there it is 24(24 beer o clock:) PS: your channel name made me think you are a hippy travelling to Goa, hehe. Admittedly, my channel name is even much worse:)
Excellent narrative and presentation. Probably the best air travel video I have seen so far. No fuss.. no frills.. just what we want to see and experience. And ofcourse loved the voice too. Clear and crisp !
HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE 🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈🥃 🍷🍷https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Wo5cROQDb8 From London 🎈🎈🎈
Singapore Air is known for its great food. Looks like you had a bad experience. Pork belly looked horrible along with other food choices you made.
14:10 Riyadh?
SQ won't be heading anywhere fast if they continue to cancel flights and suspend entry into Singapore!! I've never heard of a speakeasy had to Google that one, how awesome though! Breakfast would honestly be my least favourite meal at 40,000 feet, regret living in Melbourne on your return from anywhere near or far outside of Oz that's the meal you get, cold cuts plate a much better option👍 10am Beer heck yes please and thankyou in advance😉 Another solid review, glad l stayed to hang out👍
bravo on interesting video yet very detailed info. thanks for upload
This is crazy I went on this same flight on the 22nd of December From Ny to Frankfurt to Singapore then to Bangkok it’s pretty good experience from Ny to Singapore is the same plane for me even with the lay over from Frankfurt the business class seat is a huge seat but lacked leg room and the food was not my favorite on board but the best service I ever received from an airline
Aside from take-off engine sounds, the low moo when the engine starts during or after push back is music to my ears.
SQ Menus have got to come back.
Thanks for the no nonsense yet fun review. I'm surprised there was no breakfast before landing in FRA. That "snack" didn't look all that appetizing to me. Glad to see you went with the cold cuts though…my next choice as well if offered. Now that SQ has resumed YVR (for the time being at least), looking forward to my next trip to Singapore. cheers!
hey great video man!! just a quick question about that bulkhead seat,, was the entertainment system being a few inches higher a very big issue? i’m doing a flight from singapore to london in sq business on the 777 and so i was wondering if the ife system being higher created any major problems (i.e. neck pain) during the flight
Loved it, funny too
Nice trip report. I’m booked in the new Suites SIN FRA JFK in July for this route with best fare ever thanks to some currency devaluation… hopefully the private room renovation will be done… heard there was some delays.
Bravo, thoroughly enjoyable and full of info. And you voice is quite likable.
Greetings from Papua New Guinea! Thanks for this trip report. I use Singapore as a base for travels to europe, asia and the middle east, but I've never caught an ultra long haul direct to JFK (I doubt I ever would). But I would definitely try SIN-FRA-JFK. I enjoy SQ's business class, but prefer the a380 or a350 over the 777 because it's so damned noisy, and I dislike wearing noise-cancelling earphones for long periods. Thanks again for your efforts in bringing us this report.
Here's a tip if you want to see the city skyline on final approach. In general, you'll want to be flying into Singapore around winter, and sit on the left. Around summer, you'll want to be sitting on the right, but the view won't be as impressive.
Great review, clear and detailed, I like it, continue your great performances.
You pay thousands for a flight and WiFi doesn't even come with it. Stop the ridiculousness lol
Nice flight report.
Very nice. Thank you. I did that flight in 2009 in the upper deck of SQ's 747. They still had the old wedgie seats but it was still a sweet ride. And I don't remember who they partnered with for the lounge back then but it sucked. I felt like I was in the Port Authority bus terminal on 8th Ave.
It always comes with a side of turbulence for you. Anyways, I flew SG A380 business class from SIN-LHR way back in 2012 and that was by the best flight experience of my life. During that work/business trip, I went to SIN on United Business Class which was BLAH. However on the SG flight the service from the flight attendant blew me away. I kid you not, everytime she would come by, kneel beside me, place her hand on my arm that was resting on the arm-rest and addressed me "Mr Ip" and asked if I need a drink or whatever the service was. The first time that she did it, I was like whoa…I blanked out for a second, cause I was in a state of shock in a good way. Til this day, everytime I watch a SG flight video I would think back to that experience. Also the flight, food and experience was so amazing, I didn't sleep on the 12 hour flight and when it landed, I thought to myself, let me stay on, I don't mind another 5 hours in the air!
Best "flight review" video ever. Was choosing the seat and really appreciate the insight!
Excellent Video
great review
Just to confirm, if we're required to disembark in Frankfurt airport and we intend to roam around, we won't need a transit visa, correct?:-)
Very well done video!
