Hi Chelsea,
I just asked my husband as he sat in the row you have booked. He sat in the single extra legroom seat and said he had a fixed arm rest as he had his entertainment monitor swing up from the fixed arm. He said the two people beside him had their monitors in the seat back so he’s fairly sure that their arm rest would have been able to be raised. We all travelled home from Europe at different times so we didn’t sit together to know definitely but from what he describes I think you’ll have one arm rest between you and your toddler you’ll be able to raise.
You could call the airline but I imagine it would be a long time on hold.

Best of luck
Julie

Traveling with a toddler and we have booked the full second row with the one seat extra leg room, yet I now worry that it will be uncomfortable for my toddler if he cant access lifting the arm rest to be next to me! If you could give some insight I’d be so appreciative!
Thanks

I booked and had similar same seats on the30 ex Adelaide. Leg room was a benefit but that was the only plus. These seats did not have a window, baggage was allowed to be left on the floor next to these seats, the person with extra leg room in the seat behind used the space to move to and from the toilets. There was also often a queue waiting for the toilet standing right in front of the seats. This was very annoying on the evening flight. Whilst the crew and everything else was good I will never pay extra again for these seats on the 350 aircraft which is all Singapore Airlines fly ex Adelaide.

Just back from Asia . My outgoing connecting flight with Singapore airline was delayed by more than 4 hours. Flight out the food was good. First part of connecting flight back to UK was with Scoot airline like flying with Ryan Air. Flight back to the UK on Singapore airline the food not good. As it was a night time flight only really saw the flight attendants in first 1-2 hours and last 1-2 hours of 13 hour flight .Needed more drink and snacks. Landing in the UK excellent.

Hi

Thanks for the feedback. It’s always good to hear about other people’s experiences.
I recommend calling the airline’s special handling department or linking through from their accessibility information and organising to book the wheelchair. It’s always much easier to have everything organised ahead of time rather than hoping it works out on the spot.

Kind regards

Julie

I am travelling in coming May too. This time we booked through Web because it was cheaperthan close to 3000 I have been paying since after covid, but I couldn't find an optionn to book a wheelchair. Hope the staff will help me to get one at the counter. Luckily my family is travelling with me this time and hope they can help me a little bit in odd situation. Have a wonderful day.]]> I am a wheelchair traveller. I find them the best to travel with. The staff are friendly.
I take vegetarian option. Somehow, it is not the best when you get the same food on all legs, to and fro, but taste wise, I cannot complain. On the whole even though for my big size I find the tray space is narrow, I find flying with them quite pleasurable. I have only travelled Singapore Thail and Malay Southern China I can’t compare with any other airplanes, but I find Thai and Singapore the best. Thank you ❤️.. I am travelling in coming May too.

Hi Lynn,

Isn’t it a dream when you get a near empty room that gives you room to spread out a little bit.

It’s always annoying when people knock you as they go past, especially wen you’re trying to sleep.

Thanks for sharing.

Julie

After a couple of rough flights to London on Royal Brunei I dug a bit deeper and went with SIA. Can’t fault the staff and totally agree about the cleanliness of the plane. I was asked if I would like an upgrade to the aisle seat in the exit row so that another passenger could sit with her husband. Due to the configuration of the aisles I found that EVERY person who passed my seat, bumped my screen, feet or head. Advise to avoid that seat. Had the same experience with the food but had better seats on return by changing to a near empty row a few times after check-in.
