We recently flew SIN/HYD/SIN with Silk Air on this aircraft. It looked really clean and fresh inside and the seats were comfortable.

I will mention here for thos who like exit row seats. On this aircraft these are normal seats and there is no extra leg room so it is probably a disadvantage rather than ad advantage.

For a more budget type airline the crew were very friendly and efficient and the food was quite good. We were offered juice or water shortly after takeoff and a light meal was served - quite adequate. I would prefer real milk for coffee and not the powder which is awful, but that is a minor complaint.

What really surprised and disappointed me was the lack of on-demand seat back busic, TV, new or even old movies - none of this. They did play some boring visual (no audio) entertainment from the drop down screens which are located around every 3rd row.

Overall I was very impressed. One member of the cabin crew was trying to be overly efficient and was abrupt to everyone, her manner was rude, especially in comparison to all of the other friendly and thoughtful crew.

Having been flying with Silkair for several times,I find that the best seats are those in the very front row of the economy class. The Emergency seats are also as good,however,passengers are not allowed to put their sling bags,or small carry on bags under the seat in front of you. Instead,they must be kept in the cabin baggage storage,making it less pleasant if there is important stuff inside your bags.The worst seat for me is the last row. It's busy and noisy around there due to the toilet,also the staffs.Also,they are not reclinable,and not to mention the newspapers that are put below your seats! I also wonder why they do not play d short movie anymore nowadays,something that they used to do some time ago.
The service is overall very good,a typical singapore airlines service,good food,good drinks,good blanket,and the seats are clean either. No wonder if they have managed to win many awards for years,particularly being Asia best regional airlines.
