- This review makes flying Singapore Airlines economy sound downright appealing. Hot towels. Nuts. Printed menus. Beef rendang, ice cream, and chicken rice for meal service. Extensive video on demand. And thoughtful flight attendants. Sounds pretty good (not that I’ll mistake it for first class).
- This story made my head hurt on so many levels.
- Hyatt will be bringing us a hotel on Kauai!
- Burning bread crumbs force an American flight to turn around

Good evening Gary, why does my CVS/AMEX story make your head hurt?
We got hot towels in KLM Y about 10 years ago. I remember thinking that was very nice.
While it’s not really applicable to the story in question… Domestically, I’d also much prefer Y on a DL 738 with wifi and live TV to F on a dark UA flight.
@Grant I thought what you had to go through was a great cautionary tale on many levels.
Gary, yes, it was. Learn from my mistakes everyone.
Oh my lord, I wasn’t expecting your blog to feature my review on SQ! Thank you Gary 🙂
Having flows Singapore in coach from JFK to SIN — and beyond — I can tell you that they have a very nice coach product. It’s the kind of experience you wish you could get flying coach in the USA. The problem is that a lot of the flights are really far. I’m not sure the human body was meant to sit in a small airline seat for 22 hours. I wish they’d install pods or something so you could lay down.
There is no doubt in my mind that SQ probably is the best standard Y product in the sky. I flew them with kids on FRA-SIN-KUL-SIN-FRA a couple of years ago and it was really excellent.
