That's what I call a full meal

If you go to Singapore, get in the the right mood from the start by flying there with Singapore Airlines. It's worth every cent, and if you do some research on the Internet some time ahead and if you don't get tired of trying endless combinations of outbound and return flights, you are likely to hit a good deal, even in economy class.
First, there's legroom, lots of it, unless you happen to sit at the seat that has the box for the video on demand in front of it. On my 12h flight from Frankfurt time simply flew by as I watched and endless arry of movies, listen to music of all kinds and played video games. Comfy seats (first time I ever slept on a plane without having my neck twisted).
For starters, a hot wet towel. Real cloth, not paper tissue.
Drinks, generously poured, not just one round.
Dinner: Go for the Asian choice, don't even consider the other option. You will be rewarded.
More generously poured drinks.
Throughout the night, chilled water to keep you from dehydrating, and even a mid-flight snack: sandwich.
Before breakfast, another wet towel.
Breakfast: a superbly done meal, say no more.
Arrival at Changi: Very efficient: the baggage was already waiting by the short time (15 mins max) I spent walking through customs to the conveyor belt.
And no immigration hassles. No lines, a quick machine-read of my passport, a smile and a "Have a great stay in Singapore".
So all in all, if you want to fly like a person and be treated like one, choose SIA. If you're a cheapskate and want to be herded like cattle, choose anything else.
OK, for the sake of fairness, there are a few more airlines that do it as good as or maybe better than SIA, but not many.
If I ever go back to S'pore, and I will, I promise, I'll definitely choose SIA again.

Hop-on Hop-off bus

SIA HopOn-HopOff bus

To get around Singapore, you can jump on the Singapore Airlines Hop-on Hop-off bus. You get a 50% reduction when you show them your Singapore Airlines boarding pass - now 3 SGD pp). We had used these hop-on/hop off tourist bus formula's before, and they had always been excellent, especially if you do not have much time. Sadly, this version was lacking the usual emphasis on historical/cultural background info of the points of interest, and instead focused only on the hotels and shopping malls near the stops. So much for the added value.

I had been told how Singapore Airline is fantastic for it's quality of service... well no one exagerated...they're really the best.

JAL, Cathay, Thai are not bad either but of all the European, North American and Asian airline i took, they're the one who has the best service. No big line up. Decent price. First class service even if you're in Economy.

They also have the prettiest flight attendant in the world but i don't want to think about it... I'll start crying on my next flight intra-USA...
