TRAVEL REVIEW
Review: Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 737 MAX (SIN-KTI)
For the next portion of myIceland to The Residence via Cambodia trip, it was time to flySingapore Airlines Boeing 737 MAX 8 business classon the 1hr40min flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to Phnom Penh Techo (KTI).
I’ve flown all of the major (and many minor) airlines, including every international first class cabin.
