If you're looking to fly Singapore Airlines' 777 first class or A380 Suites, unfortunately don't expect to do so in the next year. Singapore Airlines has just pulled all first class & Suites availability through the end of the schedule, which currently…
There's not much good news nowadays when it comes to A380s, though there's an exception at Singapore Airlines. I first wrote last November about how the airline was planning on reconfiguring all of its remaining A380s with new cabins, and there's now…
Singapore is reopening its borders to business travelers... kinda sorta. I'm sure this concept will become fairly popular, but to me this is just the saddest version of business travel that there ever was, and it also raises some questions about how…
Singapore's borders have been largely closed for nearly a year, so Singapore Airlines has been getting creative with ways to engage those who want to fly. We've seen the airline open a restaurant on an A380 on the ground for a very limited time, and…
Last week we learned that Boeing has potentially lost over a third of its 777X orders, so here's at least some good news for the program... kind of. It has been announced that Singapore Airlines has reached agreements with Airbus and Boeing over aircraft…
Here's an exciting milestone -- Singapore Airlines and SilkAir are finally integrating, meaning that Singapore Airlines will start flying narrow body aircraft. In mid-2018 it was announced that Singapore Airlines and SilkAir would be merging. For context,…
In mid-November, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer launched its first ever transfer bonus for converting US credit card rewards points. This promotion was due to expire yesterday, but has now been extended. Let's go over everything you need to know. The Singapore…
A few weeks ago Singapore Airlines operated a restaurant onboard an Airbus A380, in an effort to raise money for the airline as borders remain mostly closed. Well, that's not the only way you can dine while being served by (displaced) Singapore Airlines…
Singapore Airlines has just announced its financial results for the first half of the fiscal year, and as part of this the airline has revealed plans to retire over two dozen aircraft. Singapore Airlines will be retiring 26 aircraft that are "deemed…

The "Discover Your Singapore Airlines" initiative was recently revealed, intended for those who have been grounded for too long and wish they could travel. While the airline isn't operating flights to nowhere (as we've seen from some other airlines),…
2020 continues to be full of surprises in the airline industry... Singapore Airlines is known for having one of the world's best business class products, but historically the airline hasn't offered amenity kits. That seems strange on the surface, since…
A couple of days ago Singapore Airlines announced a series of experiences that will likely make a lot of avgeeks very happy. Unfortunately with Singapore's borders more or less closed, most of us won't have access to these experiences. The airline has…
Singapore Airlines' next destination may be... nowhere. Singapore has extremely strict entry requirements at the moment, so a vast majority of foreigners can't visit, and similarly, Singaporeans aren't traveling abroad much at the moment. Obviously this…

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…
