SIN-KUL economy (MI342) 13 May 2015. I took this flight as my previous flight into Singapore was delayed meaning that I missed my connection. The service is generally inferior to Singapore Airlines. The airplane is neat and tidy with reasonable comfortable seats (it was ok for a 45 minute flight). Food consisted in a small drink (orange juice) without even a glass; poorer than usual 3-4 stars European airlines. the flight was on time and cabin crew was generally pleasant. not particularly attentive though. A service comparable to a 3 star European carrier.

Singapore to Siem Reap in Economy. Decent A320 which was clean and comfortable. We did not eat the food as we ate at the airport before the flight but for a relatively short flight the food looked substantial-comings from Europe a shorthaul flight with 'proper' food is a rarity these days! Got to chose our seats beforehand online when booking so that was good-no extra charge for that or baggage. Recommend for a short haul trip-but in reality they are not that cheap-we could have gone Business Class on Vietnam Airlines for the same price but that would have meant a connection in Saigon which would be a pain - Silkair are I think the only direct service between Singapore and Siem Reap so I guess they price accordingly (don't blame them for that).

Makassar (UPG) to Singapore on 16 March 2015 flight MI-141 and return on 23 March 2015 MI-142. Good service departure on time 30 kg baggage allowance these I like. The only thing I don't like is the meal. If you don't like chicken expect to starve during the flight. The choices were Rice with Chicken or Pasta with Chicken. On the return flight the choices were Rice with Chicken or Egg with Chicken Sausage. Why not choice of Chicken or Beef/Fish?

This was my first experience flying Silk Air. I took two flights in March from Chiang Mai to Singapore and Singapore to Bali. Both flights on time and the crew where friendly and professional. No seat back ICE but you can log on to there system via a laptop smartphone for some entertainment. Appreciated the 30 kgs luggage allowance in economy and I was able to check in the day before at Changi airport which made luggage storage much easier. The only negative was the food which let down the rest of the flight. I would fly with them again.

Phuket - Singapore 7 February. A very comfortable flight. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was also very generous for such a short flight. The IFE was very limited but that didn't matter given how short the flight was.

Caught the 18.25 Siem Reap to Singapore (Flight 5023) on Tuesday 17 Feb 2015. We hoped to have a meal as expected on an evening flight but were very disappointed. We were about the last to be served and there was only a "very" spicy seafood dish left. (Not a very wise menu choice by the airline in the first place). We don't eat seafood let alone very spicy food anyway. The chicken dish had all gone and that was that. So we asked if there was any vegetarian left and although we had not pre-ordered this there was a chance we thought. But no nothing left! So we looked at the hostess and said anything else around? Only pot noodles. So she brought seaweed flavour pot noodles for our meal. Not very nice really! Then the dessert was poor also - 2 pieces of water melon and also 2 chunks of tinned pineapple. Very poor food indeed! Thank goodness our connecting flight back to the UK had good refreshments!

Coimbatore to Singapore trip. While waiting to board the flight which was supposed to depart at 23.25 hours Silkair announced that the departure was delayed. An hour later they said the flight was delayed by 14+ hours and would take of next day at 14.00. Then came so much of confusion. We had already completed immigration and now Silkair had to work with Indian Immigration Customs and Airport Security to clear us to leave the airport. Silkair asked us to go to International Arrivals and on the way we were stopped by Security who refused to allow this. For the next hour there were arguments between Silkair Security and Immigration. We were stuck in no-man's land inside the airport and there was no air-conditioning in that area. Nobody had any idea on how to handle the situation. An Immigration officer told me that local representatives of Silkair in Coimbatore do not have cordial working relationship with the authorities like Immigration and Airport Security and so no one wants to co-operate with Silkair. After nearly an hour we were allowed to leave the airport. The flight left next day at 15.00 hours a delay of 15.5 hours. Silkair could not arrange for meals and so gave only biscuits during the 4 hour flight. Upon landing at Changi Airport baggage belt was changed 4 times leading to passenger running from one belt to another causing more frustration. I regret travelling by Silkair.

PEN-SIN SIN-PEN. Flights departed on time. First leg plane appeared new and we were served a hot snack. Return flight not quite as good. Left on time but seats were dirty and stained. Cabin crew excellent and friendly. The plane appeared to be new but the seat covers were stained and looked filthy dirty. I mentioned to the purser as we left the plane she said she would put it on the flight report. Apart from this an enjoyable flight yet again with Silk Air.

Bangalore to Singapore and back. The plane was old and the seats were dirty. The tray tables were filthy. On the way from Bangalore to Singapore the toilets were disgusting. The food was bad pretty much the worst I have experienced on an airline. There was no proper inflight entertainment worth speaking of (silent movies shouldn't really count) they showed the same three (silent no headphones) short movies/game shows on the flight to and from Singapore. The staff did the bare minimum but the landing cards were given at the very last minute (when flying to Singapore) and not at all on the return journey (they claimed the forms had changed but that is not true at all). The bassinet seat could not be mounted (out of order) on the way back. It was just one of the worst experiences I have had traveling economy and one I did not expect from an airline associated with Singapore airlines.

PEN from SIN as a codeshare with Singapore Airlines using an A320-200. I haven't much to say for the first leg as I slept throughout the whole flight but the boarding process was nice with welcoming flight attendants. They did offer me lunch but I refused because I opted to sleep some more. What disappoints me is that I thought I booked for a window seat but when I came onboard there was no window at all (probably to reduce the engine noise that enters the cabin). On my trip back from PEN to SIN (which will then proceed to CGK with Singapore Airlines) I had to put my sporting equipment on the oversize baggage section which wasn't really a bother for me. Decent food for a short haul trip on the way back. Not bad for a regional airline all in all.
