Singapore Airlines provided excellent service, satisfied with their hard and soft product. Hence always the 1st choice when looking to travel overseas. Singapore Airport transit was hassle free and time passed quickly. Sydney Airport was not busy and able to exit airport in no time. Overall a satisfactory trip.
