Singapore Airlines review by Don 2014-08-28

Flew Perth - Heathrow and return with Singapore airlines in July/August 2014. Perth - Singapore leg A330 Singapore - Heathrow leg B777-300 Heathrow - Singapore leg A380 - 8000 Singapore - Perth leg B777 - 200 A good variety of aircraft types here and all provided a good service and standard of comfort that you would expect in Economy class. Entertainment systems provided a good variety and the meals were quite acceptable, although on the Singapore - Heathrow leg all meals on offer were quite spicy and although I enjoyed them they were not to my wife's taste. The seats selected on the return journey were the upper deck of the A380. This is for couples a better choice than the main cabin as layout is 2-4-2, and the window seat has a very useful compartment at the fuselage side. All in all Singapore airlines tried to make a 13 hour non stop flight as comfortable as possible and the shorter Perth - Singapore trips were just fine. Boarding was handled smoothly with ground staff enforcing the load from the rear policy - well done, but why don't airlines enforce the cabin baggage restrictions as overhead lockers were all full and too many passengers had oversize or multiple articles of cabin luggage.
