Our Experience on Singapore Airlines Business Class from Brisbane to Seoul.

A Journey of Comfort and Luxury

Travelling from Brisbane to Seoul with Singapore Airlines’ business class was an all round luxurious experience that really is the pinnacle of air travel. From the moment we arrived at Brisbane Airport to the final touchdown in Seoul, every aspect of the journey designed to provide a seamless and luxurious experience.

Brisbane Airport

Upon arrival at Brisbane Airport, we head straight to the business class check-in counter which is always a pleasure to avoid the long queues, allowing us to complete the formalities swiftly. The staff at Singapore Airlines are always so kind and courteous. After check-in, we proceeded to the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge, where we were able to relax before our flight.

The SilverKris Lounge

The SilverKris Lounge in Brisbane is a haven of tranquillity amidst the bustling airport and we are greeted by a lovely lady who gives us the full run down on the lounge facilities. It offers a variety of amenities catering to every traveller’s needs. The lounge provided comfortable seating areas, complimentary Wi-Fi, and a well-stocked selection of refreshments, including beer, wine, champagne, soft drinks, coffee and tea. First though we head off to the buffet as we are in need of some breakfast and are greeted with a selection of food including, bacon, eggs, sausage, corn fritters, smashed avocado and a few sweet treats. The lounge also features a barista as you walk in so we both grab a coffee which was nice for this early morning start. The lounge also featured shower facilities, which we will use in Singapore on our stop over before we head to Seoul, as our flight from Singapore is at 2am. The staff in the lounge were very nice which was a change from the last time I was here when I was met with hostility when I asked for a towel for the shower.

Boarding and First Impressions

Boarding this Airbus A350-900 aircraft was a smooth and efficient process as always with Singapore Airlines, with priority boarding for business class passengers. As we stepped onto the plane, we were warmly welcomed by the flight crew, who guided us to our seats but to my surprise we were never offered a welcome drink. Once in our seat the crew came around and confirmed our order for lunch and asked what we would like for our drink once in the air along with some warm peanuts.

The Seating Experience

The business class seats on this Singapore Airlines are a 1-2-1 configuration and are Spacious and thoughtfully constructed, they offered ample legroom and could be fully reclined to form a flatbed which will came in handy for our very early flight from Singapore to Seoul. We are seated in seats 15D and 15F which are middle seats with the storage being in between the both of us and from Singapore to Seoul we are in seats 16D and 16F which have the storage on the aisle side which gives a lot more privacy and we can be a bit closer together, I would recommend these types of seats if you have a travelling companion but if you are solo try opt for a seat along the windows. Each seat was equipped with a high-quality entertainment system, featuring a wide selection of movies, TV shows, and music. Additionally, the seats were fitted with power outlets and USB ports, allowing us to keep our devices charged throughout the flight.

In-Flight Dining

One of the highlights of our journey was the culinary experience onboard. Singapore Airlines is renowned for its gourmet dining options, and the business class menu did not disappoint. Although the both of us had pre booked our meals with the ‘Book the Cook’ option when we booked our flights. We had a wide variety of choices from Burgers to seafood.

The Gourmet Meals

Our meal service began with a seared Tuna Nicoise Salad which was very disappointing, as the tuna did not seem very fresh. For the main course from the ‘Book the Cook ‘ menu I opted for the grilled beef in green peppercorn sauce which was to die for and Kel opted for the barramundi with fried rice which also did not disappoint. I washed it down with a glass of 2018 Chateau Loudenne and I was not disappointed with my choice. Kel opted for multiple bellinis and some water.

For our flight from Singapore, we had a dine on demand style option so we both decided to get some sleep as it was around 3 am and have the hostess wake us up 2 hrs before landing so we could have a light meal.

The presentation of each dish was impeccable, and the Flavours were rich and satisfying. Dessert offerings included an assortment of options like, ice cream, a selection of fruits, a selection of cheese and cake. I opted ice cream and a slice of the chocolate cake.

In-Flight Service and Comfort

Throughout the flight, the cabin crew were good but not like the Singapore airlines I have experienced before. With no welcome drink and also being asked if I would like another beer but it never showed up. Their professionalism was still evident in every interaction but they lacked in some of the finer details. The comfort of the business class cabin was further enhanced by plush pillows, cozy blankets, and an amenity kit, although the amenity kit was very average with it only containing a small amount of product.

The in-flight entertainment system was full of content, featuring the latest movies, classic films, TV series, and music albums. The user-friendly interface made it easy to navigate through the options, and the high-resolution screens provided an easy viewing experience. For those wishing to stay connected, the aircraft offered unlimited Wi-Fi for  business class passengers, which seemed to work quite well allowing us to stay connected to family and browse the internet even while cruising at 35,000 feet.

The Impact of the Journey

Our experience on Singapore Airlines business class from Brisbane to Seoul was more than just a flight; it was a journey that redefined the standards of luxury air travel. The impeccable service (although not without a few hiccups), gourmet dining, and unparalleled comfort made it a memorable experience that we will remember. Singapore Airlines has truly mastered the art of hospitality, providing an oasis of tranquillity and elegance in the skies.

In conclusion, traveling in Singapore Airlines’ business class is a testament to the airline’s commitment to excellence. Every aspect of the journey, from check-in to arrival, is carefully curated to ensure a distinguished travel experience. I have flown a few airlines business class but If you are seeking a journey that combines sophistication, comfort, and world-class service, Singapore Airlines business class is undoubtedly one of the best.
