This is the best airline in the world.
If you have only flown airlines such as United, American, Delta, you don't know what good service means and I am very sorry. On long haul flights, I will always do my best to fly Singapore airlines.
Sure, its expensive. But do you really want to suffer for hours? Also, do you really want to pay to check in your bag, pay for food, pay for drinks, pay to watch a movie? I forgot to mention, sometimes some of the stewardess on these airlines are fairly large and you might have a hard time trying to pass them.
Well, Singapore Airlines has amazing service. If you have any dietary restrictions, they will have a specially prepared meal for you. I really enjoy drinking the SIngapore Sling on the plane too. I hate airline food but the food on Singapore Airlines is actually pretty good. The movie selection is amazing, they always have all the latest movies, and so many choices. On long haul 20+ hour flights, I am sometimes sad that I don't get to finish all the movies that I want to watch. If you have kids, they have awesome games to keep your kids entertained- Super Mario World, sports games, Sudoku etc.
One time I missed my Singapore Airlines flight. This is what happened. I was flying within the states on US Airways. I missed my flight. The airline pretty much told me to screw myself. I had to spend $700 to buy a ticket that was originally about $150 because I had to book it last minute. Well, due to a snow storm, my $700 flight got "delayed" everyday. I was not able to fly out for a few days. By the time I flew out, I had already missed my flight on Singapore Airlines. I called them and they gladly rebooked me on the soonest available flight. I was charged the difference in price, which was a mere $30.
Don't forget Singapore Airlines has Suites too, I have never flown in the Suite but it looks pretty sweet.
