As any travel will notice, the leg room gets smaller, the food, if any, gets worse, and the whole flying part of the trip stinks . I have especially noted this on American airlines, and many other planes. I decided, well this should be the same all over the world right?
When going from San Jose, Costa Rica to Miami on a two and a half-hour flight via American Airlines, they seem to be running a concentration camp. I recieve a small pack of too salty pretzels and a drink, but, an alcoholic drink will cost you five dollars.
When flying from San Jose to Panama City on Taca, not only do I get a decent breakfest, lunch, or dinner, but there is no limit to drinks and the airline flies brand new Airbuses. Who do you think the better airline is?
Wrong.
As soon as I searched for a video of Singapore Air economy class, i made up my mind and decided to rank it as number one. Not only that, but they fly brand new planes such as the Airbus A380, and the soon to come Boeing 777. The only problem I have with Singapore Air is the requirements needed to be a flight attendent. Here is a list taken from Wikipedia ”
The airline requires flight attendants to color their hair black or dark brown. The airline does not allow for flight attendants to use highlights. Flight attendants with long hair coif their hair into buns. Flight attendants wear short hair above their collar lines. Fringes (bangs) of flight attendants do not touch eyebrows.
No fanciful, dangling earrings allowed. Only studs or pearls. No chains and necklaces allowed. Only simple bracelets and rings can be worn. Only small and simple watches can be worn.
A spare kebaya must be brought for every flight, even short one-hour flights.
Safety shoes, or covered sandals must be worn during takeoff and landing. At other times, she should wear the batik slippers.
Toenails must be of the bright red colour prescribed by the company. If her toenails are not painted, stockings must be worn to substitute for the non red toenails.
Eyebrows must be shaped, and cannot be the fake drawn-on or tattooed types. Eye shadow must be of the color prescribed by the company – either blue or brown, depending on skin tone.
Lipstick colour must be among the few shades of bright red prescribed by the company. Pink or plum colors are not allowed.
Nail polish must be of the bright red colour prescribed by the company. Nails should not be chipped.”
After we skip all that, let’s go back to economy class and first class. Here are two videos, one of economy and one of business class of Singapore Air courtesy of Youtube.
Very creative website. I like your use of video and other images. Unfortunately, your grammar and spelling are a problem. And people don’t take blogs seriously that have these types of errors. Most readers/visitors feel as though if the blogger can’t get those things right how can their content be accurate (even if it really is accurate) I recommend you hire an editor. Keep up the good work.
Hi Ian here. North American airlines are the pits when it comes to food. On Air Canada you can only buy food, and their selection is the pits! Decrepit, soggy sandwiches, etc. Joseph and I always eat before getting on a plane or bring food onboard.
Re: Singapore: The real problem is that they don’t let men be flight attendants!
You are completely right. I remember now coming back to SJO from YYZ which is a five hour flight and i did not get any food. But i thought Singapore Air did hire males.
