Flying Singapore Airline PREMIUM Economy New York to Singapore

Hi, you know, I've always wanted to go to Singapore. So let's go to Singapore All the way back to the office for this also. I hear we got a new app or not new apple tree It's always been there, but just didn't know it was there. Let's see did not know this was an apple tree Personally you might you guys might think this is weird, but I really hate apples. They just I don't know They just make my teeth all feel weird. I want that red one though Little crab apple I think we need some real food My flight's in a few hours, but I had to make a pit stop in flushing because i'm not flying business class I'm not flying first class. So i'm thinking the food situation not gonna be that good chicken noodle soup And a chinese sort of burrito thing, of course, we're gonna add a lot of hot oil I'm not gonna find this on the airplane That's just beauty raining down from above this. I really love this is a veggie burrito chinese veggie burrito But it has a lot of good stuff inside like a tea egg it has tofu skin wood ear stir-fried potatoes This is awesome. And the crepe itself is handmade. This is hand-pulled bian bian noodles with some stewed chicken And apparently a lot of cilantro Man, i haven't had anything to eat all day. It's getting me really excited The thing is I only have like 10 minutes to eat this dish I need to get to the airport This is so inexpensive as well the noodle is only seven dollars and this is only four dollars You guys see that That's the soul of this burrito, okay, i'm gonna stop filming because I really gotta finish this really quickly All right. I just inhaled all that maybe a couple chicken bones stuck in my throat. Let's go to airport Okay, a couple things about this trip. First of all business class seats, uh, and especially first class seats Unaffordable actually, I mean way out of my budget even economy seats were ridiculously expensive I guess the good thing if you can see this as a good thing The premium economy seats for my flight was only four hundred dollars more than economy So that was an easy choice Also, i've never reviewed premium economy seats on singapore airlines before so i'm going to show you guys what that's all about and the route I'm taking to go to singapore is also kind of complicated So i gotta fly jet blue from new york city to san francisco And then change to singapore airlines where i'm flying to hong kong and then to singapore And of course jet blue doesn't have premium economy So I guess that's sort of a rip-off But here's what i'm really excited about on this trip the hotels I think I told you guys i'm never sponsored by airlines for hotels So I have to pay everything out of pocket and that's primarily the reason why I can't review Every single first class seat for you guys I wish I could but I met this other vlogger while I was traveling in korea And we're talking about travel and hotels and airlines and I told her that well I paid for everything and she was really surprised that I actually paid for hotels because she told me that every vlogger She knows they pick out the hotels. They want to stay in and since they're vlogging about it Anyway, they just ask for a free room Okay, I know this isn't some great big revelation But it's just never something that i've done before and I don't know why I never done it I just never thought to do it and i've thought about it because everywhere I go. I always film the hotels I have people asking me what hotels i'm staying at and i've actually thought man They really should just give me my room for free But for some idiotic reason I just never asked but this time I did so in singapore I found a bunch of hotels I really wanted to stay at anyway that I would normally pay for and I reached out and I asked if they would do Some kind of sponsorship for me to stay there and a bunch of hotels got back to me So then I reached out to several hotels that I could never normally afford and they also said yes But here's the thing no hotel was willing to give me more than two nights at a particular hotel So this trip flight may not be so good, but hotel is going to be awesome. Let's go check in I just remembered that american express can get me into airspace lounge It's a pretty simple small lounge and they give you one of these things that's worth ten dollars for drinks and snacks I show up and i'm like this is ten dollars and I asked thomas here It's like give me as many bottles of sparkling water as this thing can get me and I can get one Thank you, whoa You got anything that's cold i'm pretty sure this thing costs ten dollars because it's in a blue bottle So singapore airline couldn't put me here I guess All right, this is kind of crazy, um, my flight takes off in 30 minutes and I have no idea where my flight is doesn't say on my ticket. I can't find a screen that can tell me where it is And I had to leave security. So now I have to go recheck in through security I might not make my flight get on this walkway But it's not moving. Okay All right, I think I Think I may have made it So apparently they're paging me because um, my bag didn't make it So when I get to singapore, I have no bags for at least a day not the best situation, but at least I made this flight This is it tiny little space a little rest this seems to be full let's see what we got here uh Oh headphones, they gave me this while I was coming in. So I was kind of worried but yeah nice headphones Where the flip-flops at? Oh tray table's here Um, this is the recline button and little leg support here Let's see how far back this thing leans you know what This is not bad It's not bad. It's pretty comfortable I mean, it's no business class, but it leans way further back than I thought probably more so than other premium economy seats It's pretty comfortable. I think I could get a nice sleep here. Got your own little personal nightlight charging stations and This this is what i'm after Let's check out their menu. I do like that. They also have like a secondary usb dock here and the screen actually tilts up So when the person leans back you still got a nice screen and this is a big screen for premium economy Let's see what we gotta eat from my previous experience with premium economy food I don't expect it to be that good. But at least what i'm seeing here looks really good smoked chicken with corn pan-seared fish filet mango mousse This all sounds really appetizing. Let's go. They have a international section And an indian section. I just ran across the airport. So this is much needed Huh jerk chicken sandwich, I do like it a lot when my chicken's a bit of a jerk And I think some noodles for breakfast sounds good. So besides the whole not having my luggage thing I think this will be a pretty good flight. This screen is so nice. I mean, this is just massive and let's see what they have I hate flies. I only have like 12 movies total. I just watched that's a great movie, by the way You know, I kind of wish I watched it here. Wow, so each page they have Oh, there's a lot of movies here that will do really well. Hey, that's me. Just kidding. Just kidding I'm, actually so glad I ate dinner right before I came to the airport because I don't think those jet blue snacks Would have really helped me time to sit back and relax I'm, just waiting for dinner. So instead of slippers they give you socks But this doesn't really help prevent you from you know, like a wet bathroom floor I saw that these first row seats were almost completely empty And with a ton of leg space So I asked if I could sit here. I think this is a little bit of an upgrade I can stretch out now completely. Although my tv screen got smaller spring water in a cup mango mousse This is like a Mystery surprise. Okay. This is oh wow. That looks kind of icky This is fish and pasta Parts of the pasta is really hard. I gotta be careful chewing so I don't chip a tooth I gotta be honest. The flavor is not bad. The fish is really fishy, which is not good Um, I don't even think i'm gonna eat this The flavor is not all that horrible probably because they doused this thing with butter and this chicken salad This doesn't even look like chicken. That just tastes like a chicken cold pot again. It's not horrible I think this is the best I can do at this point A lot of the pasta tastes like pasta chips Feels nice and soft and moussey. Definitely the best thing on the plate shouldn't be a surprise, right? Good morning Actually slept. Okay. Let me show you how I did it. One thing you could do is take your pillow Just kind of stretch out Well, that's like the only way I see people sitting in those seats. You could put your feet up on that Metal thing there. That's also pretty nice. So all in all I've got about seven hours of sleep Not too bad. Only thing is It's super cold in here like super cold always bring a jacket when you go on a plane and breakfast is served slimy looking egg noodles This thing just looks really slimy. I will classify this as eat to live food. You know, you're only eating it so you can survive But after a couple bites i'm contemplating whether it's worth it to survive if I had to eat this welcome to hong kong We're taking the same plane to singapore. So I think we're just getting off for like an hour I don't know just walk around and come back to the same plane. And as soon as I got off just feel the humidity Hits you like a sledgehammer So i've got about an hour before my flight takes off from hong kong to singapore Let me just talk a little bit about the singapore airline premium economy While that's all fresh in my head from first impression the seats They look kind of squished and it didn't feel like it had as much space as china airlines Now I didn't look at all these specific measurements. I just felt um, just sitting down right away It felt more squished and definitely felt like there was less leg room Of course that all changed once I moved to the front row What I did like about these seats was that they they leaned back a lot farther than I thought So that made it really comfortable now Let's talk a little about food what I didn't take advantage of was that you could have pre-ordered your meal Cooked just for you from a chef and that's something I wish i've done because the the meal I had on the plane were very Very mediocre. I think the food in general was better than china airlines But still really fishy noodles and then slimy noodles wasn't so good I think something else that stood out about this premium economy is the entertainment center I mean the screen was massive. It was really clear There were a ton of movies to choose from ton of tv shows and the headphones were extremely nice They were noise canceling. I actually wore them when nothing was playing So I just kind of canceled out the noise of the plane and that really helped me get some sleep when it comes to service Um, of course singapore airlines the service is always pretty good But for some reason, I don't know why it felt this way on this trip But it just felt like there wasn't that many staff members like at one point I pushed the attendant button It took them about I think 10 minutes to show up. So I felt the service although they were courteous. They were nice They were extremely helpful. They were friendly. It wasn't as on point as let's say eva airlines And finally, I just want to say this having spent time in business class singapore airlines and now premium economy There is a extremely wide gap between the business class and premium economy I think it's because singapore business class is extremely good. It's not just like regular good It's it's top notch. It's still probably the best business class I have experienced so far So then you take that and then you take premium economy. I feel like it just it's just too wide of a gap So I feel like if you're gonna splurge you want to sit somewhere better than regular economy And if the ticket prices for premium economy and business classes isn't so drastic definitely go for the business class But I almost feel like the business class for singapore airlines is equal to some other airlines first class But overall really comfortable flight and just a great experience and i'm also flying premium economy back So i'll definitely use the pre-order meals and see if it tastes better. All right on to singapore omelette with veal sausage Welcome to singapore My first impression of singapore. This is just the airport. It's so pretty and clean. Look at this This is the airport. It's so nice It's got none of that, you know airport muck just everything. It's quiet here So nice look at this, this is not the nicest luggage turnstile you ever seen in your life This is the first time for this but but I think I think that's for me.

I was I was actually gonna book like use my money and book it because from the location This is one of the most highly reviewed hotels in singapore, and it was within my budget So then of course after my talk with my malaysian friend I reached out and see if they will actually sponsor my stay and they did And this is just beyond awesome. So thank you so much amoy hotel guys I'm gonna have their information for you in my description box.
