Singapore Airlines Economy Class - Any Good??

We are off to singapore for 2 weeks in august to visit family.

Singapore Airlines are coming out the cheapest approx £2400 for 2 adults and 1 child.

Is this airline any good? Wish we could afford business but its only economy for us :rolleyes:

    I haven't used them for a number of years but they were excelent when I did. Years ago I worked in the travel indutsry and they had one of the best reputations.

    Sure I've seen another thread today with people praising Singapore.

    HTH :D

    SIA are widely regarded as being virtually the best airline in the world. Sure, you will not experience true business-class service but if you drink enough of the excellent champagne they serve in economy, it will feel almost as good.

    Yes- good reputation. If flying economy and they have the best price you're getting a good deal.

    Yep - ditto what everyone said above!

    We have used them a number of times for long haul to Aus and have found them excellent everytime. We had a 4mth old with us the first time and they really couldn't do enough to help.

    .... if you don't like what I say, then don't listen....

    you will have no problem with SIA. they are one of the best airline. checkout their airfare at https://www.singaporeair.com. surprise, surprise, the airfare from their website is very competitive. that's where i booked my flights with SIA last year.

    other airline that fly to singapore non-stop are BA and qantas.
