Is Singapore Airlines Business Class Really That Good?

It was a bit of a mixed bag on this Singapore Airlines Business Class 787-10 Dreamliner flight from Singapore to Colombo, Sri Lanka!

    That is the regional Business Class for short and middle range flights, it is awesome, in Europe you just get Economy seats in business class on these trips with and empty middle seat. In the US you get a recliner seat and that's it. SIA offers a fully flat bed with aisle access, clearly the best regional business class in the world.

    My first ever business class flight was exactly on these seats on a SQ a350. I was an international student going to Sydney and used my savings to upgrade for 500$ USD on the first leg of the flight 😂 people might bash me for it, but as an avgeek I couldn’t help myself but experience it cuz I’ve been watching about aviation and all the luxuries with it since the age of 5. Money well spent for me and definitely motivated me to make a living to fly business/first regularly. 😅 But awesome video man.

Prior to this it was operated by the A350 for a couple of years. If you’re interested, you could check out the comprehensive economy class review that I did for this same sector, available on my channel. Funnily, just about every SQ aircraft has operated to CMB at some point (except the A388 of course) As always, keep em coming big man!

    This is their regional-medium haul hard product. Flew it from Dubai to Singapore. Their long haul seat is by far better but for a regional product, it's still amazing. Turkish airlines uses the same seat on their long haul flights. The differentiator on SQ is always the crew. By far the best.

    The best SQ business seat is on the A380. The 777/350 longhaul seat version is wonderfully wide but you have to lie at an angle to get your feet into the door cubby, and the bed is really hard. The regional seat you flew is awful. The reader is also used to pay for on board duty free I think. Food and service always great. Love your work. Funny and a bit weird.

    A big weakness of Changi airport is the lounges which I find aren't that great regardless of airline. Contrast that with LAX, arguably the nicest airport in the world when it comes to lounges and you've got quality lounges galore, from the Qantas First class lounge, arguably the nicest domestic lounge in the US to the Star Alliance lounge, Delta Sky Clubs, Centurion lounges, etc. Yeah there's a bit of a walk going between terminals, but you know what? At least you don't have to clear security at the gate! Oh and LAX doesn't discriminate against international versus domestic flights the way most airport in the world do.

    I flew EVA on a 777 last year from LAX to BKK business class for about $7k. I was NOT impressed with the bed. Claustrophobic, just like this video describes for SA. And I did fly SA premium economy to Japan several years ago. Good service, no question. But cramped. Let's face it, unless you have a full bed like on Qatar, nothing else will do... Flying in a hollow aluminum tube in the sky with a couple hundred passengers putting out BTU and cramped quarters is not fun no matter what. Especially for a flight that drags on for > 14 hours ☹,

    Totally disliked the video.its like a podcast. Most of the video showing is face only. Also bad camera angle.

    You’re lucky you are really cute and hot and attractive. Not the best reviewer tbh. The credit card is for making phone calls or purchasing duty free shopping in flight. I agree the seats are not the best. The experience tho is miles better than any other comparable airline. I think you need to do more post flight research on what the lounge, airport (like how to check in via business class lane), and other things are before dropping a somewhat ignorant review
