Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer program offers monthly "Spontaneous Escapes" promotions, where they constantly have a list of flights that can be booked at a discount when redeeming miles. Presumably they're primarily discounting flights that they don't…
Back in August 2017, Alaska Airlines and Singapore Airlines announced a partnership, which would offer reciprocal mileage earning and redemption opportunities for members of both programs. While I appreciate Alaska's unique array of airline partners,…
A bit over a year ago Singapore Airlines introduced their new A380 Suites product. The seats look ridiculously impressive, and I know this is a product many people want to try. I've reviewed Singapore's new A380 Suites on a flight between Sydney and…
I recently reviewed Singapore Airlines' longest flight, from Singapore to Newark, and now I get to review Singapore Airlines' shortest flight, from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur. Both flights were operated by A350-900s, though the flight between Singapore…
My layover in Singapore was just over three hours, as I was arriving from Melbourne shortly before 3PM, and departing to Kuala Lumpur at 6:40PM. Thanks to the fact that I was arriving in first class, I'd have access to the Singapore Airlines Private…
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer has just announced a Star Alliance award chart devaluation for bookings as of April 16, 2019. Why Singapore KrisFlyer is useful Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is a pretty useful frequent flyer program. This is partly because…
I've flown Singapore Airlines a countless number of times before, including many times in their Suites and first class. I've flown their old A380 Suites, and I've flown their new A380 Suites. I've also flown their old 777 first class. However, in the…
In the previous installment I reviewed the business class section of the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge, while in this section I wanted to review the first class section. Inside the entrance to the lounge, the first class section is to the left…
After checking out the Amex Lounge and Air New Zealand Lounge, it was finally time to visit Singapore Airlines' Lounge at Melbourne Airport. The SilverKris Lounge is located in Terminal 2 at Melbourne Airport, and it's right next to the American Express…
Welcome to my next trip report, covering travel in business class on Qantas and Singapore Airlines, first class on Singapore Airlines and Japan Airlines, and something inbetween on Malaysia Airlines ("Business Suite"). Ford and I took a trip to Bora…
This is a topic I see raised every so often, and I think it's worth addressing, especially given that people generally have more privacy concerns than ever before. One person took to Twitter this weekend to note that there was a camera underneath the…
In May 2018 we learned that SilkAir will be merging with Singapore Airlines, and that as part of that they would introduce flat beds on SilkAir's 737s. We now have some more details. SilkAir is Singapore Airlines’ wholly owned regional subsidiary, and…
When I think about the history of aviation there are some iconic images that come to mind. TWA, Pan Am, the Concorde... And the Singapore Airlines 'Singapore Girl.'
Airline partnerships can be complicated, and this is especially true when it comes to redeeming miles on partner airlines. Different airlines take different approaches to releasing award space. Some airlines make more award seats available to members…
Yesterday I wrote about how Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is devaluing their award chart for reservations made as of January 24, 2019. KrisFlyer's award redemption rates were already on the high side, so while we've seen worse devaluations in history,…
Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer is a pretty useful frequent flyer program. This is partly because Singapore Airlines restricts most of their premium cabin award space to members of their own KrisFlyer program, and also because KrisFlyer is transfer partners…
Unfortunately the A380 hasn't panned out the way Airbus, and perhaps the world, expected. The plane entered commercial service in October 2007, with Singapore Airlines as the launch customer. This was just over a decade ago, and at the time many believed…
Singapore Airlines is already known for their "Book the Cook" program," where premium passengers can choose from a wide selection of dishes when they order at least 24 hours in advance. While quite a few airlines let you pre-order meals from the menu…
It's funny how the quality of business class varies so drastically around the world. In Europe you'd typically get an economy seat with a blocked middle and a decent snack. In the US you'd typically get a decent domestic first class seat with virtually…
Hello from Singapore! I'm in the middle of a review trip. After flying from San Francisco to Melbourne in Qantas' 787 business class, I connected from Melbourne to Singapore in Singapore Airlines' 777 first class. I've flown Singapore first class many…
Singapore Airlines operates a regional subsidiary called SilkAir. They operate short haul routes, primarily around Southeast Asia, to second and third tier destinations that Singapore Airlines mostly doesn't fly to. So, for example, currently Singapore…
