About Singapore Airlines (from Wikipedia):
Singapore Airlines (abbreviation: SIA) is the flag carrier airline of Singapore with its hub at Singapore Changi Airport. The airline is notable for using the Singapore Girl as its central figure in corporate branding. It has been ranked as the world's best airline by Skytrax four times and topped Travel & Leisure's best airline rankings for more than 20 years.

About the Airbus A350 ULR (from Airbus):
With the delivery of the first A350-900ULR to launch customer Singapore Airlines (SIA), the A350 XWB Family is positioned to lead the way for new ultra-long-range operations, including on the world’s longest commercial route, between Singapore and New York. Airlines already use the A350-900 and A350-1000 primarily for long-distance flights, but there is also demand for non-stop services on extreme long-haul missions, which is why Airbus developed its new game-changing variant. The A350-900ULR – derived from the A350-900 – has an extended range of up to 9,700 nautical miles. This was achieved by integrating a modified fuel system, which increases the aircraft’s fuel carrying capacity by 24,000 liters without the need for additional fuel tanks. With a maximum take-off weight (MTOW) of 280 tonnes, the A350-900ULR is capable of flying over 20 hours non-stop, combining the highest levels of passenger and crew comfort with unbeatable economics for such distances.

sq crew here: with regards to the long runway usage, almost all our aircraft do that to preserve engine life and reduce maintenance costs/down time =) cheers! and love your reviews, they are exactly what i felt!

Fun fact: this route used to be flown from the Pacific route, but since Singapore Airlines avoids Russian airspace due to the conflict, it now flies from the Atlantic route

I just did this flight both ways and did not find the flight time a problem. No jet lag in Singapore but lots of jet lag back in NY. SIA crew are THE BEST. So sweet and kind.

I still remember flying on this route for the very first time in the mid-2000s, when they operated the A340-500. It was my first time flying SQ's business class (at the time they called it 'Raffles Class') and my first time in business class in general. Boy, it was an experience I will never forget! And on the return flight, I practically begged my parents to buy a model of the A340 for me~

I finally got to try it again back in summer 2019 in premium economy. Still great as ever, probably better than any of the SQ flights I had. I definitely want to try it again, this time on their latest business class! It really brought back a lot of memories of this flight and my trip to Singapore~!

Flew this from FRA to JFK in January and it was by far the best business class experience I've ever had. I have SQ F on the a380 this July and cannot wait.

Let's gooo, popcorn is at the ready for this one :)

Great video Dan. I did this flight in 2019 and the service and food were great. It looks like they haven't returned to the pre-Covid level of services. I had researched before hand when to sleep across the 19 hours and I managed to grab 6 hours across two 3 hour stints. I loved the seat too and the crew were great too. Very friendly and accommodating.

The proposed Qantas Sydney to London will include all four classes. But I can’t imagine flying 20 hours in economy with a 42’ seat.

As a Singaporean, it makes me happy to see our national carrier getting good reviews by International travellers

I flew this flight about a month ago JFK-SIN. I had a little bit of a different experience! I think that the 22:40 departure time really helped with the jet lag... I was able to get a full eight hours of shut-eye right off the bat. Maybe it was because I slept through the second meal service, but I thought that Singapore Airlines had more dine-on-demand in the middle of the flight. Right after I awoke the FA offered to serve me my Book the Cook meal. Other than that, I totally agree with your review and I found the lack of pajamas and touchscreen very odd. Great work!

[heidimarie]

I got recommended by another youtuber to watch this (( not sure If I can name him - You had a double he had a single )). Awesome video ! Thanks - from a mum who dreams to travel again with no hassle.

I’ve never flown Singapore Airlines, but Singapore is one of my favorite countries. I flew China Southern from JFK via Guangzhou when I visited. 5/10 recommend China Southern.

[MasakoX]

Are you going to do the Qantas London-Sydney route when that opens? That's about 20 hours.

[KelseyJohnna]

I'm booked on this flight in September! I booked Business because I figured there's literally no other flight that will be as necessary to fly in comfort as this one. I'm so excited! I'll be vlogging it as well 😀

*The inaugural took 17 hours 20 minutes it was a fun flight*

Hope SQ watches this and takes the feedback! The pre-covid services need to come back, and that meal plan and catering quality out of the US definitely needs some ironing out.

“A350-900 ULR standing for ultra long haul” 😂 3:40

Just took this flight. Left from Newark. We had a good flight. Food, beverage and service was fantastic. Newark Airport although sucks. I want to visit Fortune Centre.
