Airlines !

Hey guys, just wondering which airlines do you fly with often back to Sg ? My last flight on Northwest Airlines was bad ! Argh, will never fly that airline again unless i don't have a choice !

Thinking of going back to sg in Jan and i don't know which airline should i fly with. Air Canada, SQ & British Airways are some of the choices i've kinda decided on..

Anyone flew anything else on a long distance flight ?

Singapore airlines is best of course ... , no really ! ....

avoid western airlines if you can .... air canada is terrible for long hauls .... you can try JAL or Cathay or JAL, which now also have personal screens just like SQ .... a prerequisite for me cos i can't sleep on airplanes very well ...

The bad thing about SQ is, they don't fly to Toronto ! Means i have to fly either to B.C or NY to catch a flight back to sg.

Yah ! Most american airlines are crappy ! Like my flight on NWA, i had those personal screens from sg to toyko but from toyko to canada, i didnt ! 12 odd hours watch movies from the big screen sucks !

haha.. SIA almost all the time.. i like SIA because i get to watch all the movies that i missed.

Tried UA, AC, Northwest, Cathay and SQ. Personally I like SQ although they fly from vancouver. Cheaper also. UA, northwest = 0 entertainment. CX quite ex.
By the way, ben, since you are in missi, you can buy cheaper SQ tickets from the travel agency at 1177 Central Pkwy West Mr. Green

Anyone tried Emirates? Looks pretty good and ranks high on service too.

ditzy SG

They're ok, but some of thier flight timings are pretty screwed. Laughing I don't fancy arriving in singapore at 5 in the morning.

Icic.. How many hours is it from Queensland to Singapore?

DummiesInc SG

Yup its near square one. You have to take a bus from there. Cant remember the number though. Theres also a singaporean restaurant there opened by violet oon.

Same here in melb.. I've only taken Qantas, BA and SQ before. I like SQ's games and movies, Qantas' seats and BA's stewardesses. Very Happy

you can also try travel cuts, Ben, they have quite good prices since it's run as a student co-op agency sort of thingy, you can check out if the UT missisauga campus has one ...

Fatum SG

*heh ? .... i suddenly found myself a mod ?!?!!. ... Shocked Very Happy Razz .....

DummiesInc SG

Travel cuts is expensive. Its only cheap if you fly UA, Northwestern and other american airlines. For SQ, CX, you need to buy elsewhere.

I like taking Singapore Airlines for short / long haul flights. You can also try Thai Airways... flew with them on one of my trips to Denmark... very good service, comfortable seats, and yummy food! Very Happy
