For those of you who will be taking the SQ Econ or Premium Econ Seats, just be aware that they are now giving out these so-called complimentary ear phones for your use with their in-flight entertainment (IFE) system. While no-one expects top sound quality from economy earphones, I think the sound quality through these is so bad that they have crossed the line to become unacceptably bad. Dialog on at least one movie was almost unintelligible, and music and sounds seemed as if they were coming through a tunnel.

Just before take off, the captain suddenly halted and announced that a first engine was malfunctioning and that "the problem would be fixed in an hour or two". However, that plan did not materialize and we found ourselves waiting to disembark in a disorderly fashion, with the economy class people waiting for about an hour for the scarce business and first class passengers to leave in style.

Singapore airlines Economy Class will do the trick, any day of the week. Now if I could somehow convince them to take over the legacy carriers' routes in the U.S., the world I inhabit would be a much better place. CLE --> SFO on SQ? I'm on it like a car bonnet!
