Singapore Airlines Economy vs United Premium Economy
Wrapping a multi-week Asia trip, we compare flying Singapore Airlines economy and United Airlines premium economy to see which experience really delivers.


Our family is wrapping up a 3-week, 11-flight trip in Southeast Asia, beginning ending through Singapore. As we head home, we’re flying Singapore Airlines into Changi and flying United back out. Obviously, we’re curious to see just how these two airlines stack up. As Premier 1k flyers, United definitely has our loyalty, but everything we’ve heard about Singapore’s flight experience has us wondering if there’s a better way to travel into and out of Asia. So let’s get checked in… and check it out.
