Singapore Airline
I am really partial to which airline I go on. I am not into flying. Not terrified but not the most calm person either when turbulence is involved. I’m not afraid of dieing, but I am afraid of dieing a painful death. I figured if I’m over land, if ever there’s anything, there’s a good chance that I’d have a quick death. But over water… hmmm…. Because of my insane reasoning, I always make sure that I get on the safest airline when traveling overseas.
There are a few good options for flights to Asia (Thai, Cathay, Malaysia) but I always end up going back to Singapore Airlines. They are on the top tier when it comes to safety, the food is delicious, the booze is plentiful and free, the customer service is excellent (though this can vary from human to human), nice in-flight entertainment, can’t complain about Singapore/Changi airport, and the flight attendants, though the males are kind of rare, are really gentle on the eyes. Also, now that I’m a mommy, SQ (yeah, not sure what the Q is, but this is their official abbreviation) is kid friendly. On top of the kids meal, the airline has toys/activities, and kids snacks. The flight attendants also try their very best to help parents, especially single traveling parents, with their children. They’ll take the kids on walks up and down the aisle or offer to watch one when mom/dad is caring for another child. Now, I’ve never experienced this first hand, but I’ve seen all the above happening when I was on the airline. Despite the nice child service, I sometimes still hear the grumpy kids, so I don’t think we’ll be leaving the Benadryl at home :D Come on, it’s is a long (22 hours almost) flight!
Since SQ is often on the top 5th on airline overall rank, it actually snagged this year’s World Airline Award, and we like the idea of the Singapore and Frankfurt stayover, and my great travel agent for over a decade, Bali Barong Tours, can always get me an awesome deal ($1050+ tax from KC!) we decided to go with Singapore Air this year for our big trip.
Can’t wait until the big day!!! Quite soon now.
