What's the best airline for HKG->SIN
I will be traveling with my husband and two young kids from HKG to Singapore in January and I'm trying to decide which airline to go with - Cathay or Singapore airlines. I have Gold status on Cathay so i tend to fly with them but i have heard great things about SQ. Thoughts on both experiences? Which one is the better option?

My recent SQ flight in the evening was almost empty. That was quite welcome for me, as it seems almost every flight has full capacity nowadays.
SQ entertainment in Y was excellent for TV/Movies, although I didn't look at cartoons or video games.

Agree - I did an overnight flight on Jetstar a couple of years ago. Perfectly acceptable service. I slept the whole way on the short and inexpensive flight!

Only issue I found was the security at the budget terminal in HKG and then the bus to the plane which was about 4 miles from the gate. Jetstar otherwise are perfectly acceptable though.
