I would like to see some smaller airline reviews, I know your travel revolves around your business, but these legacy airlines are becoming stale

Great comment and thank you for making it. Here's the problem I've got and hopefully you (and the others) can help. My last 3 videos were all on smaller carriers or unique aspects of the aviation industry but all were way down in their views. This is due to either the KZread algorithm not liking them or viewers not being as interested in them. If you could do me a favour and watch them this will encourage YT to promote more of this type of content. Also let me know if the videos themselves are the problems :) The 3 videos in question are (you will find them on my channel under Recent Videos - or search the terms below): Uzbekistan Airways - beautiful flight over the mountains from Tashkent to Bishkek in economy class Aer Lingus - economy class from London to Dublin with a sneak peek of my behind-the-scenes filming of the aircraft engineering operations at Dublin Airport Qatar Airways Global Operations Centre - how one room controls 30,000 flights and over 30m passengers per year.

@DennisBunnikTravels I watched the Uzbekistan & Aer Lingus videos, I believe they were both filmed in economy, which is of little interest. Other than having cool liveries, an economy seat is an economy seat I don't know how I missed the Qatar special, I'll be sure to watch it. I do enjoy your videos. They are top quality, keep it up!!!

Can you PLZ try and fly the Azerbaijan Air B787 Dreamliner LONG HAUL in Business someday soon! I'd much rather see that review VS say another Qatar 🇶🇦 or Turkish 🇹🇷 review if you have to visit that part of the world again! 😎 I always love those OBSCURE yet cool carriers like Azerbaijan they aren't hugely famous or glitzy but still good...

Thanks for taking us along, Dennis!!

Love that your Dutch accent comes out as soon as you were onderweg naar Amsterdam.

Any IFE featuring Gavin and Stacy is a winner with me … really enjoyed this Dennis .

I like the discussion about a sleeping strategy. It’s something I like to plan as well.

I’ll never get bored of gazing out over the arid beauty of the Australian Outback as I fly over it 😍

Best when the sun is - or high?

Just got back from a trip to Europe flying with SQ, Melbourne to Zurich and back, in the 777 for each flight. Business class on the way there, and treated myself to first class on the way back. SQ are always my first choice flying to Europe from Australia.

Nice to see yet another bloke from Adelaide doing flight ✈️ reviews 👍 Looked like a great trip. Thanks for popping up on my TV screen as I lay in bed. Cheers mate 👋

I love your flying reports, and love the touching of the plane going in and coming out. 😊Singapore airlines is my favourite, and Changi airport is a big part of that experience. We fly from Perth and have slightly shorter first legs if the trip and layovers, but indeed, those are very long travel times to Europe, arriving early mornings with a long day ahead, so doing what you did is the best scenario. I normally keep moving at Changi to circulate the blood and there is so much to see! Happy travels! 😊

I love Singapore Airlines and you were partly responsible for my decision to upgrade to Business Class on Singapore to make a long awaited re-visit to my favourity country, Australia - I saw your and other vloggers trips in Business Class and I decided if I was going to go back to Australia, it was going to be in Business Class (my last economy trip was survivable but jeez, it was hard). I managed to find a travel agent who specialised in low cost business class, and my dream became reality. My only regret is that I didn't give Singapore long enough, and that I didn't give myself enough time to transit in SQ on the way home. I flew A380 LHR - SIN, then A350 SIN - PER - then A350 BNE - SIN - then 777 SIN - LHR. The best overall was the A380, the best for sleeping was the 777. The regional A350 was great for 5 - 8 hour flights with so many options of food, drink, entertainment and sleeping that the time flew. IMO Singapore Airlines knocked it out of the park. My trip to Australia was amazing and by upgrading to Business Class, so was the getting there and back. Thank you Dennis for the inspiration that gave me life-long happy memories!

Great review Dennis , Your idea of doing a video on what to do on long layovers in Singapore Changi Airport is a great idea . This could become a new line of videos for you showing what various international airports all over the world have to offer travellers who are stuck with long connections .

Thanks, also have one filmed for Doha so hopefully will get both of them edited and out in the coming weeks/months

Nice dennis, SQ are brilliant!

This is the best airline to do it with! The best service I have ever had in business.

Geez Dennis, of to Nederland again, you must go at least twice a year, I can only afford to go every 2 years and next time will probably be the last so were going business or maybe even first , another great vid , thankyou. We always try to adjust to the county we are flying to, much easier on this old body, but the first thing after we get there is a beer no matter what timer even

Hi Dennis, great video, I really liked this one as well, and after watching your reviews for a while now I booked on Singapore airlines to complete our Asian cruise from Australia to Yokohama for our return flights from Japan have nice seats too 12k & 14k, we also have a 9-hour layover at Changi as well arriving there at 1.30am before returning to Melbourne so really enjoyed your tips on your layover there looking forward to exploring Changi Airport ..And the dining options ?.. think i would prefer dining on demand but either would be OK on SQ

Thanks Dennis. We're doing a very similar trip on SIA business class next year. ADL to CDG and the FCO to ADL (with a long stop in Singapore so we can look around) for the trip home, so what you've put up here is perfect for us. Looking forward to the 9 things in Changi video.

Great video Dennis, always love taking in your travels and having it inspire my wanderlust! Travel safe!!!

Great video! You have really got your Mojo back. Haven’t watched the 9 things to do video yet but when flying to Europe from New Zealand, I always take my togs (swimmers to you) and go & swim in the pool and relax up there even if I have to change terminals. Love Changi Airport!

Great video Dennis! I really enjoyed this one! Especially the flight from Adelaide 🇦🇺 to Singapore 🇸🇬 on that beautiful Boeing 787-10! Also, that video where you went behind-the-scenes at the Qatar Ops Centre was really good I highly recommend it! Great video I also think garlic bread on a plane is the best idea yet for aviation catering! Also you flew SQ, went to Singapore 🇸🇬 Changi & flew to Amsterdam 🇳🇱 ALL ON MY BUCKET LIST SOMEDAY! I also just love your music choices at 10:00 and at 10:21 doesn't jazz music especially piano always just make a lounge or a flight review feel more fancy! 🤣 I remember the last time you used this song on your United Airlines review from Newark to London Heathrow on their B767-300 in Polaris Business Class...

I'd like to take Singapore flight 12 in SQ First from LAX-HND-SIN on the B777-300ER and fly back to the USA in Singapore Biz from SIN-JFK in their A350-900ULR! IF I EVER HAVE THE MONEY! 😆🤑 Also, I saw one of their BRAND NEW B787-10's (9V-SCU) 🇸🇬 Being manufactured at the Boeing Factory in Charleston SC, I was going to make a Behind-The-Scenes video there with some Boeing people but for complicated reasons, it didn't end up working out, and I was also told I can't post any of those photos... A real bummer considering it was a beautiful night in South Carolina and the planes were all lit up with the spotlight and just shining. 😞 Anyways, I also have a new video coming out very soon from a very secretive, Brazilian aviation museum located right next-door to the Embraer factory & HQ so definitely keep an eye out on my channel for that video.

Wow absolutely loved this vlog, i got to relive my life through it for 9yrs flying Singapore air all over the world in business class and living in Singapore, how wonderful.. great food , best service and great TV show too .. Now living a quieter life in UK ..happy days thank you and i would definitely eat my meal as soon as its served and then sleep 🙂

I like how you skip or fast forward the "boring" bits like takeoff and landing and prioritise the inflight and airport footage.

Great video, Dennis. Always look forward to your latest offerings!

Great video, as always. Epic journeys when we folks from down under head north. Love the stunning footage coming into Amsterdam. Enjoy your next flight.

Love in Adelaide myself and always use SQ to fly overseas with When only the best will do eh!

Great vid Dennis. Nice wee bit of escapism for a Sunday morning. 👍

Thanks Dennis. Love your content ✈️ I am dreaming of business class very soon 🤭

Great video Dennis - Adelaide is always a little difficult due to that early morning flight and long layover in Singapore but I’d take it every time rather than fly to MEL or SYD - I think that in this day and age dining on demand is always the best choice as you mentioned ,you didn’t preorder because you didn’t know what you’d feel like all of those hours later - maybe breakfast was more what you’d like at an earlier time - ah the decisions ? - hopefully you didn’t experience too much jet lag 🙄 oh those seats - I hate the foot storage

Hi Dennis, great video as usual. I would eat first and then sleep. Being 6'3", I might have problems sleeping comfortably in the seat you had. Singapore has the best reputation to Asia in this American's mind. 33 hours is a long long trip. When is the next colab with Jeb and Suzanne Brooks? You have to come and visit NC sometime. Stay safe.

Another great episode Dennis. Even Jeb and Susanne will be envious of that one. As for what to do when, I always try to do what is local. If it's dinner time at home and breakfast time at my destination I TRY to have breakfast. Sometimes I can't stomach it but but I try.....

great Video Dennis...Very enjoyable

Leuk dat je weer in Nederland bent Dennis. Goede review ook! Bedankt!

Mum and I really enjoyed the 16 year old single malt on our SQ flights last year. Great review Dennis keep them coming ( looking forward to your Changi to do video for our upcoming trip in October)

Travelled from Darwin to Heathrow via Singapore in 1993. Qantas laid on a 4 hrs coach tour of Singapore including a trip to an orchid farm and a meal in a market square. All complimentary (even in Economy)...those were the days !!

Great video. Always appreciate and look forward to them. Stay safe.

Singapore Airlines is the gold standard of legacy airlines. Changi is one of the best-run airports in the world.

Great video. Very comprehensive depiction on Singapore airlines.

As always very well done video, showcasing the great Asian hospitality and efficiency

great video and Changi is one of the best airports in the world, but Hamad is geting closer now with its new garden. I think you nailed it when it comes to transit and trying to match your biological clock with all the timezones and arrival/departure flights.. I most often depart from Scandinavia with really long haul (Asia, South America, Africa) where it just feels strange to have breakfast as you arrive early, and having to have another breakfast as you depart early, or worse depart in the middle of the night and get nothing.. Dining on demand is a blessing for me. I think my best meal ever was on a QR flight in the middle of the night where they saved those mini-burgers as a late night snack. I do prefer eating at the lounge, getting proper food and where I can work and relax for a few hours an use dining ond demand after some sleep.

Superb video, as always. Yes, SQ is such a good experience, especially in business class.

I would take dining on demand every time. Just gives customer’s flexibility around how they want to adjust (or not) to the Timezone they are landing into. I wish more carriers did this!

Enjoyed that mate good to see yer up in the skies

This was a fantastic video Mr. Bunnik! I hope one day I can fly them to Singapore, hopefully from Narita. Thank you for sharing your experience!

Loved the longer video. 🎉

Your review is spot on in so many respects. We flew from Melbourne to SFO return business class earlier in the year. Every aspect of the flights were perfect,food service etc. could not be faulted except for one glaring problem that you touched on. That is, of course, the size of the cubby for your feet when attempting to sleep. My wife and I both found it very uncomfortable in trying to find a position in which we could sleep. You pay the big bucks for business class for a reason and we, quite honestly, found it to be a real deal breaker and would be reluctant to fly with SQ again in these seats. A real shame when every other aspect was so good

I've taken the Singapore-Amsterdam flight quite a few times before Covid for work (always economy, save for one premium economy flight). After the first time I've always skipped the first meal. I rarely get a good sleep in an airplane, but skipping the first meal at least gives me a fighting chance for some shut eye.

Like you Dennis love my little old Adelaide and love every thing about Singapore and their airline.

Very informative, thanks Dennis. Gavin and Stacey is a good call.

Always a first class video. Singapore airlines are one of the best there is. We are seriously thinking of transferring from Qantas to Virgin and use Singapore for our international travel. Thank you for all your hard work. 👍

SIA airlines to Europe is amazing. I miss AMS

Always a fantastic vlog

As always , a great and interesting video.

I totally agree with your comments, Dennis. Just back from BNE - MUC- BNE on SQ Business. They are my go-to airline for trips to Europe. I found the only disappointing issue is the seat design on Regional or Medium-haul Business. The hard moulding privacy barrier restricts space around your shoulder area and obscures any viewing out the window. The long haul business seat is the best I've found on all the carriers that I've flown!!

Flew to Amsterdam from NZ on Singapore Airlines back in 2018. Excellent flight even in economy.

I love watching your videos, no matter if its economy class or first or what it is. If i am ever gonna be flying somewhere longer distance ill be sure to look up videos here on the airlines that are available and choose from that.

Excellent video!

We fly Singapore airlines there the best of the best! it will be our 25th time we’ve flown with them to spend xmas in Singapore our favourite city! Great video Dennis loved it 🙌🏻 we also tap the side of the aircraft before we board…..it’s like we’re checking in 👍🏻 great flight great video great airline great crew as always! Sia 🇸🇬❤️

That's a good video Dennis as we are think of using Singapore Airlines when we travel to New Zealand possibly next year

After a series of US West Coast - Bali and back flights last year, I can honestly say, the seat on the 787 beats the seat on the 350. Lots more room for my size 13's on the 787 and I didn't have to lay at a strange angle. The only real issue I had on 6 round trips was the crews inability to give me garlic bread (real first world problem) and on one occasion the crew were unable to give my entire side of the plane any bread. On the plus side, they offered a Pho dish as one of the anytime snacks, it ranked up there with some of the best food I have eaten on a plane in my 50 years of flying. What I did find surprising was the 15+ hours in the air went very quickly, the transfers at SIN were quick and easy.

Nice review Dennis

I live in Seattle and feel I am far from everything in the US and the world....but you win the long haul contest!

Have to admit ADL has come a long way.

Can't beat SQ hospitality 😊 hope you had a great trip :)

very comprehensive report

Great video

Hi Dennis I always enjoy your videos. Loved this one to be honest I have never had the opportunity to fly business class but if I did I would not sleep just saver the trip and have some good food and drinks. I see you like a bit of great English comedy “Gavin & Stacy” which is coming back for one more and final Christmas special this year. Cheers Dennis here’s to a great video. Hope you are keeping well

Great video Dennis! The burger on your first leg flight looked delicious. With hand cut chips would have topped it off nicely! Still very high standards from SIA.

Very enjoyable.

Another great video ! Dennis, please bring back your opening music !

How cute are those little Beerenberg jars!! Their marketing is certainly spreading far and wide from little 'ol Adelaide.

As usual, a good, informative video with Dennis as engaging as ever. Some of the footage did look bit flat, were you shooting log and missed grading? Having also done the occasional long stopover in Changi, I can agree that it's one of the few airports where you can while away a few hours without retreating defeated to sleep in the lounge!

Flew Singapore Airlines Melbourne to Haneda via Singapore for our Bunnik tours Japan Northern sights tour last year. Excellent crew and a very pleasant flight. Looking forward to Qatar Airlines on our next Bunnik Tours trip to Azerbaijan in three months! Excellent video as usual!

Hello Dennis. Great vlog as always. So, given you are travelling across time zones, I feel the best thing is to go with the aircraft meal service schedule as it's geared to the flight time and local arrival time. Just gotta go with the flow...... and enjoy :-)

Great review and it seems the Adelaide accent is softer than others.

We travelled from NZ to London with SA. We had a 6week ok baby, I must say the baby change being large is excellent. Also they also allows a dine on demand service for me wife as she was feeding the wee one. Can’t rate them highly enough.

Hello Dan, I enjoyed following your travel logs always from a fellow Adelaidean! Thanks again for sharing your adventure. Look forward to your next trip! Harterlijke Groeten, Hsiang Tan

Got promoted at work, not have to fly from Uk to far east once every two months. Dine on demand really helps me sync my body with its new time zone. Didn’t know that Singapore didn’t offer this.

I think Virgin hit the spot with their Upper Class option to dine in their business lounge before boarding, allowing passengers to get an early massage and off to sleep instead of waiting for the meal on board. I used that eastbound transatlantic and it worked for me.

Thanks for the usual great video. As luck would have it I’m flying on SQ on Monday from Cape Town to Bali. Sadly in the back of the plane but even there SQ is acceptably comfortable particularly on the A350 900.

Flew SQ premium economy last year from MEL-LHR and back. Such a good airline

Having flown with Qatar airlines Brisbane to Oslo and Brisbane to Heathrow, I have found dine on demand really useful. I was able to keep more in tune with my body clock instead of eating in the wee small hours. It was a suprise Singapore Airlines don’t offer this.

Thanks Dennis, SQ are amazing. Long layover in Singapore, recommend heading into the city (Marina Bay Sands area) for quick sight see. Easy to do & worth it, even for 3-4hrs, with enough time for shower @ the lounge afterwards (a must after being in the heat) 😁

So pleased you’ve highlighted SQ’s terrible sleeping positions with their seats. Hopefully they will learn and incorporate better seats from the big exhibition in Dubai for airline seating. Still can’t believe people actually believe they are any good. Will be experiencing the A350 back to SIN from CPH on Sunday. Not looking forward to it.

From Los Angeles, where I live, most Asia or Australia flights leave late at night. My strategy is to eat at the beginning of the flight, then (try to) sleep. By that time there are only a few hours until landing. Also, adjusting to the new time is easier. If I sleep right away, there'd be a long, long wait until arrival. Great reviews, Dennis--you're the best! (Some time I'd love to have a long chat with you about my very disappointing experiences with Qantas.)

Agree completely with you on the SQ long haul seats. I won’t fly them in J long haul precisely because of this experience.

Nice. From an Australian perspective, I like to see the whole trip. Nothing worse than a single flight tease that doesn't even come close to anything an Aussie has to deal with. Also - Dine on demand & sleep, to give passengers the chance to work on their body clock.

On trips like yours I'd forget my home time and use the journey to reset my body clock to the destination time. This involves staying awake longet and some tiredness but avoids jetlag

In my view you gotta push through so you are adjusting to Europe time when coming from Australia. Especially if you are arriving early and won’t be able to get to your hotel room till 2 or 3pm. I did the 5am Emirates flight from Melbourne recently to London and although I did end up just passing out, staying up on the 2nd leg for that bit would have been quite useful. I did sleep quite a lot on the 1st leg and didn’t go to bed the night before.

Welkom in Nederland!! Have a great time.

The SQ A350 lie-flat seats are definitely a polarizing topic. Personally, I had no problem with it at all (probably because I'm a side sleeper). I flew SQ 22 from SIN to EWR, which left Changi at around midnight, and was able to get an (almost) uninterrupted 9 hours of sleep on that flat bed! I do understand the complaints as it is a very awkward looking bed.
