Re: Sia
a forummer's recent facebook posts.
"KrisFlyer gives you "more" of everything. More miles used to redeem. More taxes. More fuel surcharge. *clap clap*"
Biggest joke - I am short of 14k miles to redeem for both *** and ***** for the itinerary I am planning. The top-up to purchase miles brings the total cost to $1378.84. If I just buy the tickets WITHOUT using any miles redemption, it's $1257.80. So they want me to pay more when I am using miles to redeem partially. Message? YOUR MILES ARE NEXT TO WORTHLESS. JUST #*&KIN' BUY THE TICKETS.
Then, when I do the calculations with partial redemption without buying miles to top up, it will likely turn out to be $965.80 (I am giving them the benefit of the doubt that they taxes and surcharges will be as per buying tickets outright). So this is at least slightly cheaper than the outright purchase price of $1257.80. Message? YOUR MILES ARE NEXT TO WORTHLESS, BUT WHEN WE SELL THEM TO YOU THEY ARE PRICELESS!! AND JUST #*&KIN' BUY THE TICKETS.

Re: Sia
The reason why more miles r needed for sq redemption is because there is a market for it and despite how much u slander sq service, u will still prefer taking sq because it just feels safer, better, on time and homelier.
Delta has one of the least miles u need to redeem biz or 1st class but how many genuinely take their biz or 1st class n proclaim "wah same or better than sq!"
Therefore unless u are a frequent flyer of many airlines, u will not really know the difference between the airlines. So....reviews are all subjective

Re: Sia
correct it is really up to individual
safer - yes cos SQ all brand new fleet ...not 2nd or 3rd hand
Better - only krisworld come to mind
on time - subjective. been on SQ flights that delay at least an hour either before boarding or after boarding esp hk route ...maybe i am damn sui
homelier - singaporean steward and stewardess hmm...but they serve the ang mo better woh hmmm
the premium price paid for their airtix but yet i dont feel it is justified i think i am willing to give other airline a chance ...at least by paying a cheaper price but get bad service i wont regret cos i pay peanut cannot expect monkey mah... and channel the "saving " on better accommodation etc

Re: Sia
on time definitely..
i don't find SQ premium services way better than other airlines...but if i fly Economy i would want to find SQ~ i know i will be hydrated even if its a red-eye flight instead of begging for a cup of water...i will probably not get a broken seat even on their older 777s...
and if you bother to know the system even if its on ah gong siao...you can play with your miles in different regions and use the code share to your advantage be it on Star Alliance or One World...

Re: Sia
In my view, nothing compares to SQ. level of service, safety record and equipment are second to none.
To those complaining about SQ level of service, try flying other so called 5 star airlines. There are just too many whingers among Singaporeans (except me).
Had a trip across few continents some time back, and the last leg was SQ. the "back at home" feel started in the plane, and I liked that.

Re: Sia
I think we shouldn't compare with the poorer standard airlines. E.g. after taking China Southern , I take SIA, I super happy. I damn proud of SIA. And I don't mind paying the huge premium.
But 10 years ago, I would have chosen Sia over 99% of other airlines.
But today, a couple of airlines' standards have improved to an extent that they are very close to SIA, and yet still cheaper. No longer the gulf in standard previously. But Sia price premium remains.
But for short haul economy class, Sia still best I think. Slightly more ex but negligible.
Ok la, say until now, tell u all the secret best airlines la - its call Naboo Air owned by Jar Jar binks.
