Food on SIN-KUL

[SilverChris]

No need to be too concerned about what's served on this very short flight. At either end of the route are a myriad of delightful tastes and variety, i can't imagine why anyone would be too bothered if you got a meal or not.

Unless one actually paid a thousand ringgit for the 30 min hop

Totally agree - so does not matter which airline one flies as long as it is safe

JAL which does the route does not even provide a snack and its only one drink in JCL.

I recall JAL provided apple juice in box and peanut in Y class.

I think what SQ should do is give a juice in a box and sandwich. They are wasting time for taking "order". What do you like Sir/Madam, it self take 10seconds. then Pax may think may be another 10-30sec. Multiple this with 255 and see how much time can be saved if they simply through the thing in without even asking.

Even CX HKG-TPE route they just give you that sandwich without asking.

HKG=TPE isn't quite as short KUL-SIN

Err ... presumably you wanted to write it the other way?

I think so also.

That's my point SIN-KUL is even shorter than HKG-TPE. So what the point to bring the cart and asking Coffee, tea or any juices?

They should simply just give the pax orange/apple juice like JAL style hehehe

On MH, the crew distributed peanuts followed by choices of juices (2 choices) or water. Juices/water are served using plastic disposable cups.

On SQ, juices are served pre-packed unless you are having coffee/tea where it will be served in normal cups on small trays. Imagine the time "wasted" putting the coffee/tea cups on a tray, lining the tray with a paper serviette, pouring the coffee/tea into the cup and then serving the tray to the pax.

However, MH doesn't serve coffee/tea in Y. But after reading your recent TR on QF's short-haul service, it is obvious that MH/SQ's service on this route leaves much to be desired

Exactly the point why I brought up the post. Mind you, we are not taking Gunung Raya Bas or Kosortium Bas Ekpress Semenanjung.

I do Hainan Meilan and Guangzhou a fair bit when I go back to visit relatives and they do give out this box thing as well. Not that we mind not eating because there is Lau Pa Sat or Jalan Alor on either end but for the cost per mile flown, It makes this trip look a tad stingy.

I took that 21 times and never got a peanut, are you sure?

Can't be sure... May be u r right. No peanut just juice. Only remember beautiful air stewardess

There's a huge difference between a snack box and nothing

[ycp81]

What about Sri Lankan Airlines now? They used on serve a snack in economy on the SIN-KUL sector.

Its this kind of suggestion that forces airlines to change meals to box "snacks." the reason why SQ does that "song and dance routine" is cause someone has the idea that just having contact with a SQ FSS who does makeup and puts on tons of foundation is worth paying 30% premium for.
