This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Thanks Kevin for calling out the silly design of the suites. I've never been a fan of the chair stuck in the middle of the room. When I fly I want to look out the window. SQ service will always help improve the experience, but their seat design on suites and business class are questionable. Keep up the good work 👍
Hi i have watched every single vlog of yours and can say you r very knowledgeable person. You deserve huge subscribers.. I am from delhi india… I never even flown in domestic business class but whenever I see your video I dream as if I am sitting on that first/business class seat… Thanku for that experience bro…i really like your accent too…keep smiling do good, be good… Cheers
from HND to SFO/JFK/LHR/? on All Nippon Airlines in The Suite
Intriguing review !
Size does not ……… lets not go there !
Main course looked unappetising grrrr
Harsh but Fair !!
Thanks Kevin .. 🙏
Ground experience, Meals can all vary based on your departure point. That being said, SQ still has the best first class in the sky. You can make an argument for EK being better but most people that have reviewed said SQ was better. Its not really fair to put EY in the conversation because the 380's are going away very soon (according to their ceo)
odd , I too think I prefer the idea of SQ's first product on the 777. I'm not a big fan of the whole suite concept – lock yourself in a room for 13 hours – it's not a suite is it,? I doubt "box class" or "cell class" would market well. One downside of the 777 though is the noise – I find the 777 and particularly the 747 quite noisy. The A380 is much quieter
That’s too bad about the food. I flew from Frankfurt to JFK in their 777 first class and the food could’ve been better but some dishes were truly delicious. Especially the satay. I will say that the bed is incredibly wide at 35 inches but it still was quite hard. It would be interesting to see your opinion on the seat and how it compares
Love SQ Service Delivery! Atrocious catering… You deserve better. Hoping that SQ listen to a true SME.
Peace of I
An average Singaporean is 5 ft tall .
Maybe the bed lenght was enough for them
.
An informed and comprehensive review Kevin. Thanks for sharing. Cheers from AKL.
No surprise on the food. India isn't known for great catering.
OMG the food really shocking!!!!!
I really liked this review as it is just so much more grounded in reality than many other reviews of this same seat I've seen.
So.. to summarize… lavish and outdated I guess. Still dont understand the agent assuring(lying) about first class menu
hey kevin, i believe u r using ur iphone right? When the light is flashing like in this case, try using ultra wide mode. It eliminates all the flashes. I have the same issue all the time also with many airlines
I love when you get to the geeky stuff like how many economy seats would fit in the same first class suite area LOL. One of the many reasons why we love your reviews.
SQ now have 3 A380 returns to Syd and 1 777. I would take first in the 777. Very wide plush seat in a 1-2-1 seat that turns into an amazing bed. I find the cocoon of an enclosed suite constricting. I prefer being part of the cabin and the goings on. So Qatar Qantas Air France first do that well.
In Singapore I think the Qatar and Qantas First lounges are more interesting than the SQ Private Room.
A great review and 0% tool influence. Many thanks.
I know this is controversial, but I much prefered SQ First on their 777 over their A380 Suites.
Exactly this. Once the novelty wears off, it looks/feels like an awkward, sad hotel room, rather than a luxurious flying experience. I 100% prefer their 777's First.
3:18 – SYDNEY SWEENEY????
Hey Kevin , I totally agree with your assessment of the product and the terrible use of the given real estate attributed to it ( shower please )I experienced this from Sydney/ London and I too was disappointed with the layout of the suite and the ever so hard bed!! Friends were calling me pretentious lol as most think this is one of the very best. The food ,however ,was certainly much better than that swill they served you – it looked so dry – it definitely needed some sort of yoghurt and cucumber dressing , hopefully your next leg to NY in business will sparkle in comparison – can’t wait – thank you
Apparently when Airbus designed the A380, they made the plane really quiet for the crew to sleep peacefully. But it was so quiet to the point that they have to add white noise for the crew to actually sleep peacefully
Thank you for quality review as always, Kevin. Looking forward to your next JFK flight.
think you can reduce the transparency of the 'water mark' is the 'chuffed graphic' scene!
