Singapore Airlines A330 Business Class In 10 Pictures

“Hello from Ahmedabad”? Did you mean “Hello from Singapore” since you already flew the flight from AMD to SIN?

As someone who is considering flying to Ahmedabad t do the same could you cover a bit how the transfer worked out, I'm looking at maybe doing Air India Mumbai domestic but might actually burn some AAdvantage miles to do Etihad...

@ Ben -- SQ can't retire these POS fast enough. I would be embarrassed as an FA to work these on some of the longer flights.

@Eric, I’m doing the same thing. Flying from Seoul to Tokyo to Delhi on ANA business for 35.000 M&M miles, then taking a Vistara flight (Business, 124€) to Ahmedabad. It’s a pain in the ass to get there, but don’t take Air India for domestic flights, they suck.

Flew it a few times this summer (missed the launch of the 787 yo Bali by one day!) and I’d say your review is spot on.

I've never understood the rationale and logic for a full meal service at just near midnight on a sub five-hour red-eye, and it's not like it is quick, they take their sweet time.

SQ gets it wrong on the meal timing I think.

I flew SIN-ICN in this airplane. And your review ir surely spot on.

Y’all who wanna fly to Ahmedabad...
Fly Jet Airways or Vistara....
The rest suck real bad (even in biz and first..)
I live in Ahmedabad and probably these are the two best airlines that you can fly to get here!

Agree those seats are horrible. They also have a few 777’s with the same seats which are slightly better as they are set wider apart. But bottomline, these seats are a 100% miss. The old blue regional BC seats in 2/3/2 were much better than these horrible things.

I always wonder how airlines can go so wrong with seats. Most likely because the ones that select the seats do not fly in them.

Would also like to see a review of AMD grund experience since I am doing a similar trip. Inbound with EY before going out with SQ to JFK. Heard not so good stories of AMD and would like to know some best practices.

We must have taken the Ahm-Sin-Ewr just a few days before you. Didn’t coincide with you but there was another blogger from Boarding Area on the flights.
Found the service friendly and effocient, and the food good. The seat definitely not the best, but for some reason I did sleep better on this type of seat than the one on the Sin-Ewr. Was looking so much forwars to the “longest flight”, but was quite disappointed in so many aspects, so much, that the Ahm-Sin flight in the old plane turned out better.

Quick question. Why did airlines choose to do angle flat instead of lie flat originally? I mean its the same real estate whether its angled or completely lie flat?

Thanks for the great content, Lucky! To what program are you crediting the SQ flights for this trip?

The OCD within me is screaming "why aren't the ships aligned properly while anchored!!"

Lucky, do you know of any timeline as to when SQ is planning to replace their A330s?

@Eric @Milan - I have found transferring in Delhi to be very easy. The transfer section is located immediately before heading down to the immigration hall with enough airport staff inquiring on transferring passengers - so it's hard to miss.

Transferring to Vistara and AI is easy in DEL since they fly out of the same terminal (T3). Basically, just exit the int'l terminal and re-enter the adjacent domestic terminal and voila.

If transferring to the domestic low-cost carriers, then you need to take the inter-terminal bus since the domestic T1 is the old int'l terminal.

On a different note, my preferred domestic carrier in India is Indigo. They are a no-frill airline, but I find the service and schedules to be very pleasant and convenient.

@DT - lol!

Actually their location outside the paid docking areas aren't controlled, so they find place wherever possible. There is a paid location for anchoring around the Singapore ports, but these costs are exorbitant.

You know what SQ can’t retire fast enough - those ancient 777-200s

Still much better than American 737 MAX
