Singapore (Commonwealth Union)_ Singapore Airlines has an intimate first class cabin on its Boeing 777s, consisting of just four seats, in a single row with a 1-2-1 configuration. For a short flight like this, of course. these seats are incredible. That being said, if you are on a much longer flight, A380 Suites Class, is a far superior product.
These seats are at the end of a huge walkway at the back of the cabin. It is really nice that the airline installed this so that crew can presumably easily move between aisles, but the seat would have been epic if it were three feet longer…
It is an amazing product for a flight of this length, but for a 14+ plus flight, the A380 Suites, are preferable, given the option.
Singapore Airlines’ amazing first class food & drinks
Singapore Airlines is recognized for preparing its cabin for arrival well in advance, so really the crew has significantly under an hour to perform the entire service. they do so with grace, and offer an impressive experience in spite of that.
Singapore Airlines offers three kinds of champagne in first class as is the case on long haul flights. Even though this was a 6:50AM flight, one would like to try drinking as much as he or she could.

Prior to takeoff, you could ordere a glass of the delicious 2012 Taittinger Comtes de Champagne. How many you end up having though cannot be counted as this is Singapore Airlines.
After takeoff, you could switch it up a bit, and transition over to the 2007 Blanc des Millenaires, which was recently added to the rotation which is also excellent.
Don’t be surprised if you couldn’t quite make it to the third champagne.
As far as food goes, in addition to the inflight menu, Singapore Airlines has “Book the Cook,” where you can choose from dozens of options, including the famous lobster thermidor dish. One of the Indonesian options on the menu was nasi uduk, ikan goreng, and sambal udang. This came with a side of fresh fruit, fruit yogurt, and a selection from the bread basket.
Singapore Airlines’ service is flawless
There is not an airline in the world that provides the consistent service level that Singapore Airlines does. It is not just that Singapore Airlines flight attendants are professional, and have service down to both an art and science. That’s easy enough to do (well, sort of).
Rather, it is everything else. They show such genuine and heartfelt care that you do not find consistently on any other airline, and they provide that with such a level of elegance and in an effortless way.
The Cabin managers and first class flight attendants are just spectacular. They referred to passengers by their last name amongst themselves.
It wasn’t “1A wants XYZ,” it was “Mr. XYZ asked for XYZ.” Even among world class airlines this was unusual.
While there are a lot of amazing airlines in the world, Singapore Airlines is in a league of its own when it comes to exceptional cabin crew.
Bottom line
What a treat it is to fly Singapore Airlines first class on the short flight from Singapore to Jakarta. A passenger described it by stating that despite this flight being just over an hour, the service was out-of-this-world, with an amazing meal, a choice of three types of champagne, and warm, perfect service, which you’ll only find this consistently on Singapore Airlines.
Singapore Airlines’ shortest flight with first class, is a great experience.
