Who says comparisons are bad?

Let's fly away together, just You & I...

Sup folks!

I'm backkkk again to blog more about airplanes! (You just know you can't get enough of this!)

I began flying from the age of 17.

1st Airplane I've sat in: Cathay Pacific

Followed by 2nd: Jetstar Asia

3rd: TransAsia Airways

4th: Airasia

5th: Scoot Airline

Alright, here are the reviews...

Cathay Pacific (From SG-HK-Nagoya)

Seat Pitch: 32.0

Cushioned seats.

Individual TV, and individual headset wrapped in plastic.

Snacks, and meals provided.

Service wise, hmmm...although they do greet you, but I don't feel their sincerity at all. I'm sorry to say that! It's like they are greeting you for the sake of greeting you.

Next up!

Jetstar Asia (From SG-HK)

Seat Pitch: 31.0

Leather seats. Comfortable.

No snacks, no meals provided. Have to purchase.

No TV, no headset. Remember to bring some entertainment along with you!

Good Service, greeted with a bright smile! And answers you promptly when you call for assistance! (:

TransAsia Airways (From SG-TW)

Seat Pitch: 32.0

Cushioned Seats.

Shared TV. 1 TV for every 3 rows. But no headset.

Snacks, and meals provided.

The best hospitality I've ever experience on airplanes so far. (:

AirAsia (From SG-Bali)

Seat Pitch: 29.5

Leather Seats.

No TV, No personal headset.

Snacks provided, no meals provided. Have to purchase.

Service was still okay, not that bad though.

Last but not least...

Scoot Airlines (From TW-SG)

Seat Pitch: 31.0 (But honestly speaking, I think the seat width is wayyyy too small. I don't feel comfortable AT ALL.)

A piece of advice, please don't choose the blue seats. Just add some money and choose the yellow seats.

Cushioned seats. Terrible. Really budget ttm. The cushions can be pulled out and what you have underneath are metal frames of a chair.

No personal TV, no personal headset. Duhh~

No snacks, or meals provided unless you choose the premium meal selection when you purchase the tickets.

Service was terrible. Stewardess walking past you several times, but nobody even bothered to check on what you need despite pressing the button several times. Have to personally call them before they even notice you exist! (Maybe it's a new airplane so the buttons are not in service yet! =/)

Other than that...I think that's about it folks.

P.S. Jetstar have sale on every Friday.

Bargain!

Hi folks!
I'm back to talk more about bargains! (:
I'm turning 21 in like...4 months 25 days. Say short not short, say long also not long.
So, since it's my 21st birthday, I've came up with this theme called #Project21.
In this project, I will be spending 21 days mostly abroad, instead of the usual party which many people do...
So yea, let's begin...
First, I shared in my previous blog post that I got a super great flight deal from SG to LHR for only $1050.
Next, I found another deal. (Y)
After checking like basically everyday for like 2-4 weeks or so, I compared the prices for Jetstar, AirAsia, Qantas, SQ, Malaysian Airlines, Emirates...
Since Jetstar (Low Cost Airline) was $800+ for a return trip (direct/1 stopover) from SG-Melbourne, and Emirates (Luxury International Airline) was $900+ (direct), of course book Emirates right!
So far Emirates was the cheapest if I compare it to SQ (approx 1200), and Qantas (approx 1000).
I checked the SQ prices (SQ app on s3) again on my way to work to ensure that Emirates offered the best rate in the market. (Kiasu~)
I was like delighted to see that SQ has offered a Super Deal! (:

It was 767.50 for a return trip from SG-Melbourne (direct). So i quickly book lahhh. SQ lehh! =D
Pros:
Audio & Visual: A lot of US channels available, and a wide range of music options available.
For eg: I've sat on Cathay Pacific, there was only a few music options available. As for TV wise, the movies were up-to-date. Other than that, built in remote and individual new headset provided by Cathay Pacific. But for SQ, it's a totally different thing. TV which can be tilted for your range of vision, portable remote which has a Qwerty keyboard behind, and a Power charger which I realise quite a few international airlines don't have.
Food: World Class Gourmet.
One thing which caught my attention was the Ulcer Meal (what?!) under Meal options. Haha. So funny. But I feel SQ do take care of their customer's stomach. Hehe.
"A hungry man is an angry man." True that~
Definition by SingaporeAir.com -- This meal contains easily digestible, plain, poached and broiled foods (e.g. white meat or fish). Food or fruits that are acidic (e.g. citrus fruits) are avoided.
Cons:
Timing: Flight from SG--Melbourne 0745hrs--1705hrs. =(
