My experience flying with Singapore airlines.

Now typically when I go to Japan I either fly with gel or a.

N.

A.

But this year the best deal was with Singapore Airlines.

I have flown with single part airlines before.

Not on an international trip I believe.

I think it's been about 10 years now.

When I was living in Singapore I flew to I believe that is an international trip.

I flew to Australia and it was a great experience.

I love the food.

The service was amazing.

This time I am flying from Los Angeles Airport to Japan.

So when I was looking up tickets, Singapore Airlines had the best deal when I searched on google um a and a and jail their tickets for economy class.

What's going around 1700.

But with Singapore Airlines they were offering premium economy seats for the same price check in process at the airport was really easy with Singapore airlines since I had a premium economy seat, I had my own separate line and at both airports there was no one in front of me.

So check in took you know like about 10 minutes.

The only thing though that I kind of caught me off guard was that the weight limit for the carry on allowance was super low.

I've never had an issue with my values being overweight on an international flight.

And with Singapore airlines in particular I found this out later I only allow seven kg which is about £15.

And that's pretty low for international flight.

All the other airlines I've taken in the past.

The baggage allowance is way more than that.

So I just assumed Singapore Airlines was the same.

So I had to basically rearrange my things and it was not fun.

You know for a lot of people this may not be an issue, but because I carry a lot of heavy things with me, like my laptop, my camera equipment.

Those are the things that are generally have items that are heavy and that can easily weigh up to £10.

Um And then you have to factor in my luggage itself weighed about £5.

So yeah it was not a pleasant experience.

But you know that's not Singapore Airlines fault that's more my fault for not paying more close attention to the baggage allowance.

Now, once I checked in, everything else was a pretty smooth process.

Once boarding started bringing economy boards after first class and business really didn't have to wait once they started calling, I went up and then I was able to get on my Um my flight right away.

So I think I waited less than five minutes once I boarded the flight I got to the cabin area and the premium seating a cabin area I believe there's 28 seats and we don't have our own bathroom section.

So we do have to use the economy bathroom, we're not allowed to use.

I'm assuming we're not allowed to use business class bathroom because once the flight took off they shut the drapes too.

Business class section.

I really liked my seat.

It was roomy.

I had plenty of room to myself and the armrest was really nice and wide.

There were two US reports there, there was a reading light that was just the lamp was adjustable, so that was really nice.

Also below me, I noticed that there was a water bottle already ready for me.

The seat itself was very comfortable.

There was an ad calf rest and a foot rest.

So when I did go to sleep and when I reclined my chair, I slept really well.

Usually like I wake up quite a bit in between but I actually had a good three or four hours of sleep without any interruption.

So that was really nice.

There was entertainment and there was plenty to choose from.

There's a lot of new releases, like Top Gun, which I ended up watching.

And the monitor itself was really nice.

It was touch screen or there was a remote next to you that you can use, but I always end up using the touch screen.

For some reason there were some other little things I've noticed like on the armrest at the end, there was a place where you can put your drink.

So that was nice.

So I didn't have to open up my table in order to get to like I placed my drink somewhere and there was like a little hook in front on the back of the chair of a person or in front of me and you can hang your coat there.

I tried to do that but it didn't, I feel like it got in the way.

So I, because my coat was kind of heavy so I ended up really not using that.

And then there was a little like a little cubbyhole where they have like the instructions, evacuation instructions and stuff like that in front of me.

But overall the seat was really nice and roomy and comfortable and I'm glad that I ended up getting the premium economy seat because definitely an economy seat with the premium economy seats, there are some amenities that you receive.

One of them is the noise cancelation headphones.

Those are really nice because I don't know if you've ever used the economy headphones, I hate them.

They're useless because you can barely hear anything.

You have to put up the volume so high.

So if I am an economy, I always end up using my own headphones instead of the ones that the airline provides.

I will say the ones I received though, we're pretty beat up and when I opened it came in a sealed package and then it gives you like these covers to put over the headphones.

Part of the headphone for like the year part fell off.

So it took me about five minutes to adjust it and put it back on.

I almost gave up and if I wasn't able to put it back on, I was gonna just ask for another one because I don't know that, I don't think that's supposed to happen because on my flight back my headphones were fine, although there was still kind of beat up.

Um at least the headphone, like the ear piece didn't fall off a little bit surprised they didn't provide an amenity kit.

I assumed that I would get one being that they are ranked number five in the world for one of the best airlines this year.

So that was a little bit disappointing.

I've flown with gel and in their premium economy and they had an amenity kit which was great because they also provided slippers.

So I really liked that the bathrooms were really spacious actually there were two bathrooms that were closest to me.

An economy and the one on my side, I really, really like the one on my side compared to the other side because I felt like it was twice as big, it was super rooming.

There's lots of room to walk around where you don't feel like you're bumping into things.

It was nice and clean that every time I went, it was clean because that's another thing too.

I hate it when I go to when I get in the bathroom and it's like wet on the bottom and I always wonder is that people's hands from being wet or is that someone's p I hate that walking around in someone else's pee, but it was always clean every time I went in there.

So someone was doing a good job keeping it clean.

The bathroom didn't have any amenities, extra amenities.

Um When I flew with another airline, I believe it was jell yeah, I think it's gels cream economy.

Um They had like a toothbrush kit in there.

So if you wanted to brush your teeth after a meal, they had that.

So I was expecting something like that with Singapore's premium economy or at least in their bathrooms.

Um But they didn't have anything just that, you know the basics, open motion and tell the meals on the flight were decent.

I will say that I've had better meals on other airlines.

But the one reason why I like to choose asian Airlines in particular is because I love rice with my meals and a lot out of the asian Airlines provide rice with their meals.

So Singapore Airlines, all of my meals came with rice, which was great.

One thing that was different that I've never experienced was Singapore's meal choices.

So right before my flight I wanted to say about a week before my flight, I got an email saying that I can choose my meals online, which I know other airlines do this, but with premium economy you get more selection and and they call it book the cook.

So with that I was able to have a variety of choices and meals.

They did have choices where you would have the same meal choices as economy, but also they had a few other choices that you can book a reserve with the cook.

So I did that they did have some different options that I really wanted to try and so all of my meals, I went ahead and booked online ahead of my fly.

I'm glad I did this because when I got on my flight, the flight attendants confirmed my meals and then when it was mealtime, my meal came out at least 10 to 15 minutes before everyone else's and that actually is a really nice perk just because then while everyone else is eating, I'm almost done and then I can get up and use the bathroom while everyone is still eating because you know, after everyone eats, that's usually when everyone gets up to use the bathroom and you have to wait in line and that whole ordeal.

So I didn't have to go through any of that.

So every time a meal came out because I had booked mine online ahead of time, my meal always came out about 10 or 15 minutes before everyone else is.

So if you're ever writing on Singapore Airlines and the comedy class, I pretty many comedy class.

I highly recommend selecting your meals online because if you want your meals before everyone else will definitely get it before everyone else if you do that.

Alright so that is my review of Singapore Airlines premium economy class for the most part it was you know I mean once I got on the aircraft it was a very pleasant and comfortable experience.

The food was you know it wasn't something that I couldn't eat, it wasn't the best meals I've had on the airline but you know it got me through the flight.

So um and then all my meals had rice which I was really happy about.

The only the only thing that I didn't really enjoy was the check in process where on my return flight for some reason without any explanation I was just told that there may be a chance that I might have to um might be moved to another seat.

I was I was still in the same section in premium economy but I might have to they might have to move me to another seat which I was not happy about because I always pick my seats ahead of time because I'm so picky about where I sit.

Um But of course there was really nothing I can do.

But they said you know once I get to the gate I would know for sure if um if I would have to change my suit or not it didn't happen.

So that was great.

The other thing is that the baggage allowance is so low for an international flight and in particular with Singapore Airlines they only do this with flights international flights of Canada and the U.

S.

I'm not sure why that's what I read online.

Um But yeah that's a little bit of a bummer for me.

So the next time I go to Japan I'm not sure if I would book another flight with Single Porter Airlines just because I have to carry a lot of heavy items with me that I cannot check in my bag.

Alright so that's my review of Singapore Airlines and premium economy from Los Angeles to Narita International Airport.
