I believe that, for a small surcharge, you also get a flight attendant to serve you (and to keep as a souvenir).

Frankly, if I lived in Singapore, I would be tempted to do it for the dining set alone if it's the same one they use in F hah (and it looks like it).

Hey @lucky, if you pay for it, we'll order it and livestream it for your benefit (heating and plating included) #mukbang?

A friend of mine is currently living in Singapore, so I'll ask him to make a test run (and a trip report).

That's for free! I was expecting at least the double. Dom Perignon, Caviar and the dining set alone make this more than worth! Unfortunately I'm quite sure this will still behind their borders...

This is perfect for me! I have a six piece set of their Wedgwood and broke a plate and need a new one.

I would buy American Airlines pretzels at the supermarket. Then wash it down with a White Claw.

interesting. I have a lot of Singapore kris flyer miles that will soon expire and I have no plans to fly anywhere until the COVID crisis is over. Tempting. Thanks for the info. Your website is always informative.

The fact they are selling the family silver, or tableware at least, is a sign that they really need cash. I think SQ's service level is excellent, and hope they come out of the crisis in good shape.

Its not remotely a sign that they need cash (though they undoubtedly do, as most airlines do!). Their cashflow is in the billions of dollars, making a few thousand isn't going to make the slightest difference.

At a time when much of the world is struggling to survive, SQ puts on this nouveau riche/ wannabe/snob appeal/more-money-than-sense nonsense? So vulgar...

Dom is garbage. It's a 'name' champagne that people recognize, but amongst those who know their bubbly, it's underwhelming. It's basic Insta fodder, but otherwise plain.

This whole offer feels somewhat tasteless. It's airline takeout.

@Benjamin Nicholas

Champagne overall is garbage.

Any wine for £40 will knock Bollinger and LP to the gutter.

A wine for £100 like Biondi Santi or Tignanello or a nice Mersault or even 2nd wine from a classified Bordeaux chateau would be bliss against a sad joke like Dom Perignon.

I guess it’s like when people I know are impressed when I wear a Rolex but don’t bat an eyelid at my Piaget.

Branding works. This is why Emirates and Singapore Airlines do better than Oman Air or ANA, even though the latter are significantly better.

I find it crazy that Lucky states the price of the second package is close to the cost price. I pay £80 for a bottle of Dom Perignon and £15 for farmed caviar, no airlines serve beluga anymore. Don’t see how £95 compares to SQs entry level pricing even.

If you’re not a Dom drinker or Caviar eater and buy these things from Harrods (only someone who doesn’t consume regularly would do this) you know that £95 is more than enough for a bottle of DP and some airline grade caviar.

@K4 - alcohol is expensive in Singapore. A bottle of 2008 Dom is $215 SGD (at redmart). Oscietra caviar seems to range in price but seems around 90 to 120 SGD. Satay on the hand can be bought at local hawker centres for ~70c. So it does work out close to break even.

For people outside SG it may not be close to break even - but for SG it is. Sadly booze is $$$$$.

@K4,
Please can you inform me where you get Dom Perignon for £80 and provide me your shipping details? I'm intrested for 600 bottles at that price and due to the quantity I should have a reduction, no?!

I need to make a profit, so will sell you for £90 a bottle. Shipping at cost.

I doubt I can source 600 bottles, but will happily supply you what I can get.

Send your contact details, as I'm not posting mine in a public forum.

@MDA

I do agree prices are higher in SG.

Wow - this is just so pathetic and desperate.
