SQ305

Before we took off, the crew handed out hot towels to passengers in economy. Yes, hot towels!! This was top notch from Singapore Airlines, and out of all the many times I have flown the LHR to SIN route, this was the only flight service where I was given a hot towel. The meal service was ok, but not the best I have had from Singapore Airlines. For the first course after takeoff, the crew served breakfast. I had the Indonesian Style Chicken Noodles, and there was another option of a Mushroom Crepe with Herb Sauce. This tasted good, but not as well as I hoped. Drinks were also available onboard, and I opted for a Sprite. Usually, some airlines only give you a cup of sprite, but on Singapore Airlines, they served me a whole can. I’m not sure how many other airlines does this, but this definitely put Singapore Airlines above market. There were also snacks in the galley. There were various snacks available, from chocolate bars to crisps. On another note, the toilet was clean and tidy, and there were facial towels, as well as soap and paper towels to dry your hands. Unfortunately, supper was not good for me. I had the fish fillet, whilst the other option was chicken rice. This may have been my tastebuds, but nonotherless, I didn’t like it. The starter, which was a shrimp salad was very good, and I thoroughly enjoyed eating it. For desert, we were given a chocolate brownie pot. This tasted very good, with a rich creamy layer on the top, and a cake like layer on the bottom. There were a range of amenities provided on this flight, such as blankets, pillows, eyeshades, toothbrushes and toothpaste. These were very handy in freshening up after a long 13 hour flight. The 11.1 inch IFE screen was highly responsive, and came with a touchscreen remote. There was a map that showed where we were, and information about our destination and what time we were going to arrive. There were many entertainment options that kept you occupied for the long 13hrs, from latest movies to new releases music playlists. In addition to this, there was the standard cup holder, charging ports and table, however unlike any other airline, it came with a mirror. This was very convenient for me, as it would have been for many other passengers onboard. Overall, I am pleased to say that I had a very pleasant experience onboard Singapore Airlines flight SQ305, and am looking forward to flying with them again FLIGHT INFORMATION SQ305 (LHR to SIN) Scheduled Departure - 09:25 Actual Departure - 09:56 Scheduled Arrival - 05:30 Actual Arrival - 05:34 Scheduled Flight Time - 13hrs 5mins Actual Flight Time - 12hrs 39mins (delayed due to congestion at LHR) Aircraft - B777-300ER (9V-SWV) Aircraft Age - 10.9 years old
