"seats on the A350 are so narrow"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Singapore Airlines have made a big mistake if you are a business class traveller like myself. The seats on the new A350 are so narrow there is almost a feeling of claustrophobia about them and to say they are uncomfortable is an understatement! Not only are these seats narrow they have no storage and there is essentially no back recline! To move or recline the back of your seat you have to move the whole seat forward when pressing recline button. Essentially you have to start the lie flat position which takes the whole seat forward rather than just the back rest. My trip last year Adelaide to London on the 777 was so ridiculous with the leg and recline positions I actually considered cancelling my return trip except for the fact that I managed to change my seat to the centre aisle bulkhead seat which was a little better, not so with the A350. This is a disaster.

"seats very comfortable"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Seat 33A on A350-900, last row, window. Small cabin, well positioned, seats very comfortable with all tech features and great IFE choices. Food and drinks service started in this cabin. Drink portions too small (tea/coffee), nearest toilets meant a walk through the cabin behind us. Toilet floors dirty and wet.

"worst seats in Premium Economy"

(Australia)

Trip Verified | Premium Economy with Singapore Airlines is usually a pleasant experience but my recent flight on SQ221, an A380-800, was not the case. Specifically seats 32H and 32K should be avoided. These seats must be the worst seats in Premium Economy on Singapore Airlines. Firstly, there is no luggage space at all for passengers in seats 31H and 31K and if the board first they take up the limited luggage space for the passengers seated behind them. Secondly, the passengers in seats 32H and 32K have a cabinet adjacent to their seats which is used by cabin staff to store various sundry items, which the cabin staff access constantly throughout the flight. Not only does this mean the cabin staff interrupt the passenger in seat 32H constantly throughout the flight they often stick their bottoms in the face of the passenger as they do so.

"not impressed with the design"

(China)

Trip Verified | I flew SQ833 and SQ255, Shanghai to Brisbane via Singapore on 27/28 February. On these journeys and on previous SQ journeys, I've flown Premium Economy. I am not at all impressed with the design of the seats. They're not particularly comfortable. Leg room could be OK with ingenuity. The folding trays slotted between the seats often cause all sorts of inconvenience to passengers and staff since they have to be stowed "just so" or they don't stow without awkwardness and delay. The lid covering the trays has no obvious lifting point or slot or button or ... On the 380 there were two buttons below the cover that had nothing to do with the cover but which seemed that they might do. I pressed one. A sort of thigh/leg support appeared. It was not wanted. I pressed retract. Nothing happened so there we were stuck with a half-projected support for the rest of the flight. Then there's the point for insertion of the head phone plugs - to the side and behind the passenger. A meal arrives, the tray has to be extracted and later retracted. And then there's a nice mix up of headphones cable , tray table, tray and confused passenger. Then there's the prissy little "pocket" on the back of the seat in front that may need to contain a laptop, an ipad, a documents gag, the free bottle of water and some medications. Well, well. Good luck with that - after a sick bag, a Kris world magazine, a Kris Flyer magazine, an emergency procedures card all have prior place. The floor has then to make do for head phone cover, amenities bag and newspapers and magazines that the profligate passenger may have had the lack of foresight to bring. Then try finding the medications with cabin lights out at 4 am without disturbing the sleeping neighbour by turning on the overhead light. All is darkness. No doubt SIA paid millions for this design. Maybe they were taken by the ominous black and orange colour scheme, one that in the world of nature does not generally bode well.

"my ratings have gone down"

(Malaysia)

Trip Verified | The aircraft is an A330 and because this an older aircraft many of my ratings have gone down compared to the A350. The seat legroom can be better and also the seat recline.

"Comfy seat with spacious legroom"

(Malaysia)

Trip Verified | Comfy seat with spacious legroom for someone who is 180cm tall. Love the cup holder and foot rest. And a vanity mirror at the tray table. Singapore airlines really make it the best and pay into small details to entertain passengers' needs

"Good airline still"

(Malaysia)

Trip Verified | Attentive crew. Helpful, friendly and proactive with drinks in the mid of the flight. Meal services were very smooth. Though I can see that many people are complaining about this airline, I don't see any problem. Though the flight was departed behind the schedule, I don't blame them as I believe it was not their mistake and no people love to delay a plane and crew wanted to go home on time too. They still provide menu card and hot towels before take off and landing. Meals were good and inflight entertainment is great. Amenities in the lavatory are sufficient and all economy passengers received an amenity pack with socks and toothbrush in it. Good airline still. My all time favourite.

"seats are very shallow and flat"

(United Kingdom)

Trip Verified | Having had an outbound journey with Singapore Airlines in business class, we came back in premium economy, and the difference could not be more stark! While the base spec of their premium economy offering appears on paper very similar to many others, we were very disappointed when comparing them to, for example, Virgin. The seats are among the most uncomfortable we had ever sat in, making the 13.5 hour flight to London from Singapore a real test of endurance. To put this into perspective, the economy seats we had on Singapore Airlines sister carrier Silk Air for an earlier connecting flight were exceptionally comfortable! The use of a solid centre divider between each pair of seats means you are hemmed in (they claim 19.5 inches width, but I think its more like 17!) and achieving any diagonal recline is very hard. The seats are also very shallow and flat, meaning that when reclining you start to slide off - not helped by a bizarre thigh support pop-out and ridiculous footrest, when don't work together well at all. The seat needs to be more bucket shaped to be in any way comortable, and a 2x3x2 format would help achieve a more premium feel. Legroom is also deceptively similar to economy. All in all, we were very disappointed, and given that at current prices, you can find upgrades to business class on LHR-SIN return for about 35-40% additional, we'd rather do that. We certainly won't fly Singapore Airlines premium economy again, but instead look to use business class and save on other areas of trips.

"It has wider seats"

(Philippines)

Trip Verified | The first time to fly on the A350-900 from Singapore to Munich. It has wider seats, wider tv monitor, more storage, has a socket for charging phones, comfortable headrest and with ergonomic design that your body seem to fit into the seat comfortably with extra space.
