Didn't live up to the hype

Advantages: Good food, flight attendants have great uniforms
Disadvantages: Service is average on the plane and bad at the call centres; not a huge range of movies

I flew Singapore Airlines from London to Bali in August for my honeymoon. As far as the actual in flight experience goes, it was fine, but nothing special. The food was pretty good for airplane food. And I love the flight attendant uniforms :-) It was annoying that they didn't provide an eye mask though, I felt like I was bothering the staff by asking for one. There weren't as many movie choices in English as on other airlines. So all was fine, but ...
...our honeymoon. I called Singapore Air in Bali and they didn't answer the phone at all for the first several times I phoned. Finally they answered and I got a curt, flights to London are full, there's nothing we can do. I then called Singapore Air in London (from Bali at huge expense) who were nicer, but kept me on hold for 30 minutes and still didn't help but rather made me feel it was my fault for not booking my seats earlier (I didn't know you ...

Review of Singapore Airlines - SIA

Royal Skies Air Miles.

Advantages: Good in flight service
Disadvantages: In flight entertainment can be dodgy at times!!!

...10 years. Despite having my Royal Skies card swiped at check in I now find that they have only credited us with one trip. Despite REPEATED emails to Brunei theyhave completely ignored and query. Their blurb does say that they need boarding passes etc for the miles to be credited-unfortunately I do not have 8 year old boarding passes in my possession as I thought that when my card wa swiped at check in, that would count. I have no problem with the ...

Review of Royal Brunei Airlines

Jet Airways

Advantages: value
Disadvantages: No drinks round

...change over in Mumbai. Jet airways seem to have a new fleet of aircraft, all aircraft are clean and well equipped, check in is effortless and customer service at the airport is fantastic. TV in seat with large choice of movies and some games with the usual cheap headphones and two prong plug Tip:(bring an adapter and use your own headphones) One strange thing though, no drinks round. A free drink was available but only at the time of the meal. Two ...
...these guys I think the trick is to ping your call button for a drink and not wait for the trolly but I didn’t see anyone doing this. Do take some snacks on board. Curry for breakfast shocked a few people onboard. Overall though I would use Jet airways again. ...

Review of Jet Airways

MAS value for money!

Advantages: legroom space, price, service
Disadvantages: choices of food and beverages offered

Malaysian Airlines is Malaysia's leading airlines and their well worth of their title. I have been using MAS for long and short distance flight and is well worth the money you spend. Their service is great - remember flying with them to India.... service is very nice, food, might need a bit improvement on the taste and choices on menu. Other than that you get ample leg space compared to other airlines. Once i have travelled on their Business class ...
...the cheapest full board airline. They really follow their tagline of MH for Malaysian Hospitality. Their service is up to the mark. Well their range of alcohol drinks available in economy class is limited. Well I guarantee that MAS is worth every single penny you pay for! ...

Review of Malaysian Airlines System - MAS

Smooth As Silk

Advantages: Service, service, service
Disadvantages: None - unless you're desparate to see that movie.

...once said. With Thai Airways, recent experience suggests that the plan most definitely comes together. The Background : I'm not a regular long-haul traveller, so this review is purely based on journeys during January/February 2009, specifically a return trip London Heathrow to Cambodia Phnom Penh (via Bangkok Suvarnabh). Price, Booking & Ticketing: My flights were part of a package deal, so I cannot extrapolate the price. Equally I have ...
...Unlike many airlines Thai do still offer paper tickets. The more normal route however (whether booking yourself on-line or through an agent or tour company) will result in an e-ticket confirmation. We may be getting a bit more comfortable with the technology, but I have yet to see very many people turn up with just their e-ticket number on a scribbled post-it. It seems we do like the comfort of a print out, even if it is a computer-generated home-print ...
