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…
With the SilkAir brand being absorbed by Singapore Airlines, it looks like the first 737-800 is emerging in Singapore Airlines' livery. First a bit of background... In mid-2018 it was announced that Singapore Airlines and SilkAir would be merging. For…
At this point if you want to redeem miles for travel on Singapore Airlines, you'll have to do so directly through the KrisFlyer program. Singapore Airlines has temporarily pulled all award availability through partner frequent flyer programs. This means…

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…

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…

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.…

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,…
