This flight was no exception, with impeccable service, scrumptious meals and drinks, limitless leisure, and free Wi-Fi.
That is simply one of the simplest ways to fly in enterprise class between Europe and the US, and is in a totally totally different league than Lufthansa enterprise class. The one catch is that the Frankfurt to New York flight isn’t properly timed for connections in Frankfurt, given the 8:20AM departure (however personally I like the schedule when originating in Frankfurt!).
Anyway, let me share just a few key takeaways from the flight…
Singapore Airways’ 777 enterprise class seats are distinctive
Singapore Airways’ 777 enterprise class seats are absolutely flat and in a 1-2-1 configuration.
The airline has a product you gained’t discover on another airline. Whereas the seats are absolutely ahead dealing with, you must sleep at an angle whenever you recline the seat.

Clearly a excessive service customary is way more the norm in Asia than in the US or Europe, so it’s particularly enjoyable to fly Singapore Airways between Germany and the US, given the distinction.

For the principle course, Singapore Airways affords the “E book the Prepare dinner” program, so you’ll be able to pre-order from a a lot bigger menu. I made a decision to not order from there, as I seen the inflight menu upfront, and one possibility regarded nice to me. I ordered the gai pad king, which is Thai type stir-fried rooster, which ginger, greens, and steamed rice.
Final however not least, I completed off the meal with dessert, which included coconut ice cream and strawberry shortcake.

Singapore Airways’ leisure & Wi-Fi are world class
One other space the place Singapore Airways excels is with inflight leisure. Singapore Airways’ KrisWorld leisure system is likely one of the finest on the planet, and boasts a large number of motion pictures and TV reveals. I like how the airline has full seasons of so many reveals, whereas most different airways simply have just a few episodes of every present.
Irrespective of how choosy you’re with leisure, you gained’t be bored on Singapore Airways.
Not solely that, however Singapore Airways even affords limitless free Wi-Fi. For first and enterprise class passengers, you’ll be able to simply log-in together with your title and seat quantity, whereas premium economic system and economic system passengers have to be KrisFlyer members. That is so superior, since you’ll be able to keep linked on a number of units all through the flight.
