Singapore Airlines Airbus A350 900 config.2 seat review by Jo Smith #38126

This is essentially the last row of the lower deck of the A380 in economy class. It's not suitable for a tall person but I'm short at 5'3" and there was plenty of leg room for me. Very tall folk would always be better to check out the extra legroom seats. The seat width was fine and I'm morbidly obese. The real disadvantage to this seat is the inability to recline the seat at all due to the emergency exit being directly behind. The person in front of me reclined their seat which meant I was only a matter of inches away from the ife screen. It makes it awkward trying to get out of the seat too. Foodwise, pre-Covid Singapore Airlines were more generous at meal times with a larger main portion and an appetizer. This was a 13hour flight and lunch was served about an hour and half into the journey. The next breakfast meal was served about 2 hours before landing. For this reason, I took a cold Cornish pasty with me to eat if I became hungry in between. Unlike before, no snacks were offered on the flight but I didn't specifically ask for any. The meals themselves were tasty but one meal was particularly salty. The desserts, typically ice cream, were lovely. The crew came around offering water periodically. I took 750ml of water on board & I'm glad I did. The crew were always friendly and helpful. Due to turbulence, I lost out on having a hot drink at meal times. I do like Singapore Airlines, the inflight entertainment is pretty packed with offerings to wile away the time. The toilets were close to the seat and there was often a queue of people segregating in front of the emergency exit waiting their turn. The toilets were clean and only had one incidence where my nostrils were assaulted! Would choose a reclinable seat in future but the seat wasn't a disaster.
