Hi Jayden, I’m a big fan of your content. I really love how you commentate on every video diligently and give us all the information possible. You also allow us to hear inflight announcements which I really like as it reminds me of flying on an aircraft. Your videos are quite authentic and unique from most aviation KZreadrs and I really enjoy most of your videos. However I feel that you usually only review certain airlines like Qantas, Cathay, SQ, Virgin, Hong Kong and the Chinese airlines. So maybe you could expand your reviews to other airlines so we could have other perspectives of different countries and airlines and it might also make your videos more interesting than it already is. Anyways great work on the content and I really appreciate what you do. Keep on posting world class content!

Hi there! Appreciate your comment! I live in Hong Kong and Australia and travel a lot in between. So inevitably I have to travel a lot with Qantas, VA, Cathay and Singapore Airlines. That being said, KZread algorithms tend to recommend you videos that are around your region (this gives me headache!!). So you may have missed out on my Westjet, Air Canada, Delta, United and American Airlines videos. I actually did more videos on Delta and United more than I have with Hong Kong Airlines, Cathay and SQ collectively this year. Do check them out if you haven’t :)) Coming weeks and months, I am covering Garuda, Xiamen Air and Icelandair, all of which I have not done before :) Also Turkish, KLM, Finnair, Fiji etc.

Not to excuse the process during the gate delay, but as a former ground handling supervisor at a major US carrier sometimes a delay isn't announced immediately because passengers have a habit of wandering off and if the delay is shorter than anticipated they can miss their flight. Just my two cents from my days as an airline supervisor.

yes, it is frustrating when the flight is ready for boarding and there are missing passengers...after all, the flight has already been delayed and they want to take off as soon as possible...hence the lock in is a good idea...

I am Singaporean and I thought I was going to be miffed at your complaints. But I completely agree with your complaint points, especially not keeping the passengers informed about the delays. Terrible decision. And not filtering the passengers boarding is another big no-no for me.

I totally agree! SQ is my favourite airline on board and top class. Best crew and food in the skies by miles and a very practical and comfy seat with great entertainment but I think Cathay's newest economy seat is more comfortable with the double seat back padding. I also was surprised you like the extra meal, I am fine with one especially on a 6 and a half hour red eye as it takes time away from sleeping. Their lounges and gate management are not the best.

@JaydenWong

7 ай бұрын

haha Good question. I use Qantas for Oneworld, Delta for Skyteam and Turkish for Star Alliance and here's why for each of them. Qantas- I picked this over Cathay because the Qantas program earns you way more points and status credit even when you are on a Cathay flight. That being said, Cathay give you a lot of perks other than the regular Oneworld ruby/sapphire/emerald benefits, such as free upgrades, lounge for silver members, and more benefits on the ground. Yet, Qantas is just way easier to reach Oneworld ruby/sapphire/emerald. Delta- I liked their MQM calculations, helped me reach and retain gold (Elite Plus) easily. Also like UA and AA, I enjoy the free upgrades on domestic flights. However, it stinks that they removed lounge access for Delta operated flights if you're in economy, even if you are their gold. And they are changing their program next year, favouring those (who live in the US) with a Delta credit card so I am not going to aim for gold next year. Probably switch to KLM/AF Flying Blue. Turkish- I tried the Air NZ and United programs and I failed to retain Gold for both. Air NZ didn't gave me an extension during the 2022 borders lockdown. However, they stopped extending the lockdown when NZ reopened to Aussie travellers. Specifically Aussie travellers, you can be an Aussie in USA going to NZ. But if you're an American in Australia, you couldn't go to NZ... it was all very weird. I live in Australia but I am not an Aussie so I lost my gold with them. United isn't too hard in terms of PQP but you need to fly on their flights 24 times. Too difficult when I don't live there. Now Turkish- I fly mostly long haul in economy and they don't discriminate their members who often in economy e.g. a very good gold lounge in IST. Plus, they are launching flights to Australia soon, easy miles when I fly them all the way to Europe.

@arabesque2222

@JaydenWong Thanks Jayden for taking the time to provide a detailed reply. My work only takes me around Asia, and being based in SIN, the natural choice would be Krisflyer. Unfortunately I only fly economy due to company policies regarding short and medium haul flights. The only perk that SQ gives its KF Gold members that other Star Gold members on SQ flights don't get is complimentary advance seat selection. I was KF Gold for many years but it became a major strain to retain Gold when some tickets don't earn you 100% status miles anymore. Then I was introduced to Asiana Club FFP. Qualifying and requalifying requires less miles than most other Star Alliance airlines, and you have a 2 year window to requalify. There's also no requirement for you to fly on their metal. So while I lose the option to choose my seats in advance, I get all the Star Gold perks whenever I fly SQ or other Star Alliance carriers. The only downside is not knowing when Asiana will cease to exist after it gets bought over by Korean Air. 🤔

When I was doing a lot of travel between SYD and SIN for an American clients (who had a global Y policy), in the USA they used United and so preferred Star Alliance member airlines as the one airline where UA didn’t fly. At that time (between 2003 - 2006), UA still had movie screens on panels at the front of every cabin section (ie no personal entertainment system), pretty much everyone else that was a serious airline had moved forward to personal displays). So much of the Australian (and Asian) staff objected to flying UA on the long haul, so eventually out of Australia we were allowed to fly QF and anywhere out of SIN SQ. I hear the current UA planes between Australia and the USA are much better, and maybe next time I go to the USA will try them out due to the VA partnership. As much as I usually preferred SQ over QF on the SIN - SYD night route, I would fly QF as I would have eaten dinner at the airport and wanted to try to go to sleep. Then SQ basically had a full meal services with the multiple rounds - meal, then drinks later, so it could be 3 hours before the noise went down. Where as QF also had a full meal service but it was done quickly with food, tea/coffee, drinks all at the same time, so there was much less noice and you could try to go to sleep as noon as the plane took off.

Probably SQ didn't consider an hour delay is a delay. For a passenger, if a delay can be informed/ broadcasted earlier, they can make use their time in other ways like shopping, lounge access, or walk around instead of stuck at the waiting room. Moreover, all passengers stuck at a small room for an hour. It is not a wise handling for a 5-star airline anyway.

You did the route before on A350-900 and for me I would see SQ Krisflyer Gold Lounge = CX lounge like the Pier in HKG = Korean Air Prestige Class lounge ICN > UA United Clubs EWR Terminals A and C = PR Mabuhay Lounges.

We were supposed to arrive into MEL just after 6pm, but eventually arrived at approximately 10:30pm. The cabin crew was amazing throughout the delay and in the air.

I flew SG overnight red eye from Singapore to Melbourne back in early 2022 flying in a B777-300.

I was super disappointed with the experience. I sure Hope they have improved.

Singapore airlines has for a long time been my preferred carrier up and around Asia (I am also a Virgin Velocity Member). However, my last three trips to Asia SQ have either not had seats available for my connections (often 3 - 4 months out) or were priced so high I couldn’t justify it. So one trip was on Thai, the last one is on CX and the one later this month is also CX. So I get some (few) QF status and points (but nowhere like you get between SQ and VA). My last SQ flight I flew Premium Economy and the breakfast was disgusting and after a couple of mouthful attempts I couldn’t eat it (this was ex SYD) fortunately I had a good breakfast in the Kris Flyer Lounge., there was no tray, just a gluten free wrap in silver, no serviette, fruit, etc. Tea and coffee were available later. I decided that SQ PE was not worth the money between Australia and Singapore (possibly worth it for the extra legroom onwards to Europe, the USA etc.) I agree with you about Gold Members and their decision to put them in the Kris Flyer Lounge. This new one is by far better than the previous one, which didn’t even have toilets or showers), very crappy layout and food & drink limitations. I think the food and drink options are also better in the new lounge, but not up to the standard of the Business Class lounge.

Their prices for premium cabins ex-Australia are so high. On the other hand you can fly non-stop SIN to JFK in premium for like $1500 return

Hi, Jerome! What about a fixed/lapel mic?

Did they allow you go over 2kg extra? How heavy was your checked bag. I am sure there were lots of bags at the baggage claim from this flight since it was a 777. Where was the cat from lol

I had uncomfortable experience with Singapore Airlines when flying from Singapore to Adelaide in late Nov too. There was no announcement of delay until boarding was completed and that was already half an hour past departure time. Due to weather condition, cargo loading only started after everyone's on the plane. We waited and waited. Finally, we took off after 2am in the morning (the scheduled departure time is 11.40pm). We have been sitting on the plane for 2 hours. I agree with you Jayden that Singapore Airlines could have announced much earlier. My experiences with Singapore Airlines have been good. Last month flight was the only bad one.

See exactly my point. I wouldn’t have minded the delay as long as there’s communication and we are not held hostage I’m at Melbourne airport right now. Just landed from ADL. We were half way through boarding and the crew told us to head back to terminal due to adverse weather in MEL. They didn’t know how long the delay would be so rather than holding us onboard or at the gate, they told us to relax in the Qantas club and wait for further PA.

No free wifi if your Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer account is not linked to your boarding pass. This sums up the modern day caste system that permeates the way Singapore Airlines is run. From lounge access to Wi-Fi access.

The water, Moma, is from the town of Sibu in the Malaysian part of Borneo.

Delta airlines is not in Star Alliance. They are in Sky Team Alliance. Surprised you cannot leave the gate area. The gate agents should board you in groups, seems like they are very disorganized at the gate level.

As a local I more than agree with you ...SQ was never liked that until lately and they became worse during covid and I have also done my share of screaming hell to them for their lack of service product etc long story short I agree with you and only lately did they improve and got back their signature product but yes money speaks and they really are getting too arrogant for their own good. As you said the flight crew always great the mgmt sucks!

Fly and stay safe. Take care. Cheers.

We flew SIA decades ago and all was fine EXCEPT the 747 air con was stuck on freezing-cold right on top of us in the front baby seats. They tried to diminish the freezing air flow but couldn't, the flight was full so we couldn't change seats, and we had to wrap our baby up like a mummy so she wouldn't freeze (they gave us heaps of airline blankets and pillows - and of course the standard crib). The seat was also broken but that wasn't of any serious concern. Then, the SIA flight path to Sydney used to be further south than Qantas etc, flying down over the Spencer Gulf toward Adelaide (sort of), out over the southern ocean a bit then banking left and straight across to Sydney. I had to ask the steward about that because it looked very strange at the time and he explained it to us (this was decades before the missing Malaysian jet). Otherwise, I've flown SIA numerous times inter-Asia, along with Silk Air, and they are excellent. Silk Air has the best looking hostesses by far (Singaporean, Indonesian, Chinese etc) although these days Cebu, Garuda sometimes, and a few Vietnamese airlines give it some competition. Thai isn't all glamours anymore like it used to be.
