A TikTokker recently noticed something odd about the signage used to distinguish the lines for Singapore Airlines’ different classes while at an airport.

TikTok user Sonny-Joe Flanagan then added some hilarious commentary to the photographs, featuring the ambassadors of the airline aka the Singapore Girl, about what they seem to convey about passenger expectations.

“Who did this photoshoot? 📸😂” he wrote in the captions of the video posted yesterday.

The clip, which has already garnered over one million views, starts by showing the First Class banner featuring a smiley woman with her hands clasped formally at the front.

“But First Class, ha! You’re gonna have a great time!” he says.

He then pans to the Premium Economy Class and the Business Class banners which also show women in similar poses.

“Welcome to Business Class, you’ll love it!”  

Then he gets to the Economy Class, which has a banner showing a woman who, while still smiling, has slightly slumped shoulders and her hands at her sides.

*sigh* Economy, that’s ok, you will survive,” he says.

Many Singapore Airlines fans jumped into the comments to say that the airline’s Economy Class is still miles better than other airlines (it did win the Business Traveller Asia-Pacific Awards for Best Economy Class in 2022, among many other awards),

Flanagan replied saying that he has never flown on the airline but is willing to “test them out.”

Some users also related to his sense of humor.

“Hahaha this is the sorta stuff I think to myself when I see stuff like this,” User Timmy.ob commented.

“We must think the same! Glad I’m not the only one who thinks like this! I thought I was weird 😂,” he replied.
