Singapore Airlines: Life is Better in Raffles Class

On arrival in Vancouver we checked in at Singapore Airlines. Ros checked to see if we could avoid the layover and plane change in Seoul. The Singapore agent made the changes and we remained on the original flight all the way to Singapore.

We had not flown on Singapore before but had heard that the service was great and if the efficiency and friendliness of the gate agent was any indication we were in for a treat.

The Raffles class cabin was wonderful. Once in our seat we were plied with champagne and got into our travel slippers which were not the tube sock found on Air Canada but actually had a sole in them. The headphones provided are of the noise canceling type and worked very well.

The meals and service were the absolute best I have ever experienced. If presented with the choice of flying Singapore again I would jump at the chance.

Ear Muff Headphones

This headset combines all-weather protection with high-quality mini-speakers, so you can enjoy your audio device without exposing your ears to the cold. Layers of lightweight polyester fleece, Thermolite®, and Polartec® insulate the soft nylon-wrapped ear warmers (which can be stretched and adjusted to fit most heads), keeping your ears and neck warm even in sub-freezing temperatures. The ear warmers can be used by themselves when the detachable 5′ audio cord is removed, and the around-the-neck design avoids ruffling your hair. The built-in speakers developed by JVC deliver crisp audio with an internal neodymium magnet and 40 mm driver. For convenient in-pocket or purse storage, the y can be folded flat upon themselves, taking up very little room while not in use. Spot clean. 3″ W x 5″ Diam. (1/4 lb.)
