What are reasonable expectations to have when flying during the coronavirus pandemic? A reader points me to a complaint posted on Singapore Airlines' Facebook page, expressing frustration over a flight he describes as "daylight robbery." It does raise…
Airlines around the world are adjusting service protocols in light of coronavirus. What’s surprising is the vastly different approaches that airlines are taking. On one end of the spectrum you have Lufthansa, which will maintain exactly the same service…
It looks like passenger traffic could finally start to pick up again at Singapore Changi, as the airport has seen a 99.5% drop in passenger numbers, and has closed both Terminal 2 and Terminal 4. Singapore Changi will welcome transit passengers Changi…
Singapore Changi Airport is closing yet another terminal. As of May 16, 2020, Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 4 will be closed indefinitely. The timing of the terminal reopening will depend on when air travel demand picks up again, and when airlines…
Singapore Changi Airport doesn't have much faith in travel demand returning to normal anytime soon. It has been announced today that Singapore Changi Airport Terminal 2 will be closing as of May 1, 2020, for a period of 18 months. This is in view of…
Up until now Singapore Airlines has taken a fairly mild approach to cutting capacity, at least in comparison to other global airlines. For example, the company's previous plan was to cut capacity over the coming weeks by 50%. Well, that has finally changed.…
It's always nice to see airline executives leading by example. When times are tough, airline executives are quick to cut the pay of employees, asking them to be understanding of the sacrifices that are needed, and then give themselves big bonuses for…
Singapore Airlines has just rolled out their latest monthly promo, which can be a great deal for anyone looking to redeem miles on Singapore Airlines. While these are always a good deal, this is one of the better lists we've seen in a while, which shouldn't…
Ah, now this could be interesting, and possibly explain the claims that Singapore Airlines will launch a Tokyo to New York flight. Nikkei Asian Review is reporting that All Nippon Airways and Singapore Airlines may announce a new joint venture as early…
I'm not quite sure what to make of this, though if anything comes of it, I imagine it will happen very soon. On December 30, 2019, Japan's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism, granted Singapore Airlines permission to operate nonstop…
A couple of weeks ago I wrote about the absurd situation I faced when trying to access a terminal at Singapore Changi Airport. I suggest checking out the previous post, but essentially I was traveling out of Terminal 4 on Cathay Pacific, but wanted to…
Singapore Airlines has taken a conservative growth strategy over the past several years. Virtually the only long haul growth we've seen from them recently has been their A350-900ULR flights from Singapore to Los Angeles, Newark, and San Francisco, as…
In late 2017, Singapore Airlines introduced their new A380 Suites. It's an impressive product, and one that I know many people want to try. As of now only select A380s feature the new Suites, and those are flown to Delhi, Hong Kong, London, Mumbai, Shanghai,…

Singapore Airlines has just announced the next destination for their reconfigured A380s, featuring their new Suites and business class product. In November 2017, Singapore Airlines revealed the details of their new A380 Suites & business class products.…
Gosh this is so long overdue. Singapore Airlines invests in so many aspects of their premium experience, but when you're flying first class with them, it's hard not to get offended when they ask which first class champagne you want -- Dom Perignon or…
Yay, it looks like it's finally possible to redeem Alaska Mileage Plan miles for travel on Singapore Airlines, and the implementation is better than I was expecting. Back in August 2017, Alaska Airlines and Singapore Airlines announced a partnership,…
For decades Singapore Airlines has been known for being one of the best airlines in the world, though I can't help but feel like they've somewhat been resting on their laurels. I feel like the airline used to be super innovative, but is less innovative…
While I'm by no means a tech security expert, there are some travel companies that have mind-numbingly bad security practices. For example, IHG continues to use four digit PINs. IHG accounts get hacked all the time. Can anyone -- anyone -- help me understanding…
Today Singapore Airlines is launching nonstop flights from Singapore to Seattle with the Airbus A350-900, making Seattle their fourth US destination served directly from Singapore, after Newark, Los Angeles, and San Francisco (which also happen to be…
A few days ago I wrote about how Singapore Airlines has increased the complimentary wifi allowance for passengers traveling in Suites, first, and business class: -- For passengers in Suites and first class, the wifi allowance has been increased from…
While there are many areas in which Singapore Airlines offers an industry leading experience, their inflight wifi historically hasn't been one of them. Singapore Airlines has offered inflight wifi for years, though it used to be offered exclusively by…
Singapore Airlines' KrisFlyer program is unique in letting members waitlist award tickets. However, earlier this year KrisFlyer devalued their award chart, and at the same time they announced that they'd make changes to how waitlisting awards works.…
