First Class Experience: Singapore Airlines ZRH – SIN
Flying Singapore Airlines from Zurich (ZRH) to Singapore (SIN) in First Class is an experience like no other. Here’s my detailed review of this world-class flight that reaffirms why Singapore Airlines is a leader in luxury air travel.
Pre-Flight and Boarding
From the moment you board, the impeccable service begins. The crew is attentive, ensuring that everything is perfect for your journey. After settling in, I was greeted with the iconic First Class question: Krug or Dom? Naturally, I opted for the Krug—a timeless choice. (Fun fact: Emirates now has an exclusive contract with Dom Pérignon, meaning Singapore Airlines no longer serves it.)
In-Flight Dining
The dining experience on Singapore Airlines First Class is a journey in itself. The meal service began with a Singapore Sling and Satay Skewers served with a rich peanut sauce—an elegant touch that set the tone for the flight.
Starters:
- Caviar Service: Classic and indulgent, paired with traditional garnishes.
- Lobster Starter: A luxurious second course, perfectly prepared.
Main Course:
- I opted for the Thai Curry, which was flavorful and authentic—a reminder of the airline’s dedication to excellence in cuisine.
Dessert:
- Banana Split with Ice Cream: A nostalgic yet elevated ending to a fantastic meal.
To round it all off, I enjoyed a glass of Macallan whisky—perfect for winding down.
Rest and Comfort
After dinner, the crew converted my seat into a bed. The First Class suites on Singapore Airlines are nothing short of exceptional, providing ample space, privacy, and comfort. I slept soundly and woke up feeling refreshed three hours before landing.
Breakfast
The breakfast service was just as impressive as dinner. I enjoyed a selection of fresh fruits, yogurt, and scrambled eggs with bacon, all beautifully presented and delicious.
Personalized Touches
One standout moment was the conversation with the Maître de Cabine, who went above and beyond by sharing tips for my upcoming stay in Kuala Lumpur (his hometown). This kind of personalized service truly sets Singapore Airlines apart.
Final Thoughts
Once again, Singapore Airlines has confirmed my belief: There is no better way to fly. The luxurious amenities, exceptional service, and attention to detail make this experience miles ahead of competitors like Lufthansa and Swiss. While Swiss is slightly closer in quality, they’ve lost their 5-star status for good reason.
Whether it’s the dining, comfort, or personalized service, Singapore Airlines First Class offers an unparalleled journey that makes every mile memorable.
