Question Is it a good Air Line : Sigapore Air Line ?

I'm planning to go for Singapore Air Line for my migration as it is comparatively cheap. What are the comments about them ? Is it a good air line to travel ?

Please comment who have experienced with Singapore Air Line ?

I've flown with them a few times and have found them to be second to none in terms of quality of service.

The added bonus is that the Australian government will reimburse you for 50% of your flight if you fly with Singapore Airlines

Agreed. They are very good.

They're ok for a shortish flight like that. The food isn't very good though.
The economy seats are typically like a battery chicken coop - as are all the other airlines.

One of the respected airlines. Used by a lot of migrants from the UK. Service generally very good and inflight food and entertainment generally better than a lot.

Economy is economy regardless of airline for the most part, not a lot of room but it helps to have pleasant cabin crew.

My OH and I are flying to Sydney soon to migrate on a PR visa - can you explain more about your comment of 50% reimbursed please?

Thanks,

Which is better than the 50% they add on if you go Qantas!

They're pretty good. Seats in econ are very hard. I think Malaysian seats are more comfy.

We have just done a return trip to the UK with them and I can't praise them highly enough. Fantastic service.

They're all good in my book if they stay in the air and get from A to B as unless you are a frequent flyer I'd go for a few hours discomfort to get the better price.

Good prices recently with Emirates, Royal Brunei and a mates son just booked with Air China as they had good deals. I've flown Emirates and Singapore in past and much of a muchness, I've booked flights with Brunei as had reasonable reports from friends who've flown with them can't say anything about Air China other than someone has booked tickets with them.
