Singapore Airlines

It's been a long time since I've flown Singapore Airlines and I've forgotten how nice it is to fly an Asian carrier.

I flew Premium Economy which was definitely worth the extra cost. In Premium Economy, you can choose a seat for free. If you book Economy, exit row seats cost $90 for each leg. By the time you add the extra cost, there isn't much differential between an Economy ticket and a Premium Economy ticket. If you think you'll wait until the last minute to upbuy, it's not any cheaper.


Instead of 9 seats per row, there are only 8 seats per row. Two on each side then 4 in the middle.  The seats are quite comfortable with a calf rest and a foot rest. The chair reclines at a 38-inch pitch. There is an adjustable light on the side of the seat. We got a good pillow but the blanket was thin. There was a bottle of water at each seat.


There is a large TV screen with over 150 movies.


You get an amenities bag but this was cheesy. Inside were a pair of socks, toothbrush and toothpaste. Not even eye shades.


You can pre-order Book the Cook meals. This is Beef Short Rib with Kimchee Fried Rice. Quite tasty. There was a Smoked Salmon with Green Beans starter and chocolate cake for dessert.


The Economy meal wasn't bad--Shrimp Rice Roll with Steamed Green Vegetables.


If you're flying into Hong Kong, sit on the right. You can see the Big Buddha as you come in for a landing.
