Your options:

Suites / First Class · Business Class · Premium Economy · Economy

Suites and first class

Complete with a separate seat and bed (or a double bed for couples in Rows 1 & 2), plus exclusive amenities and fine dining. It’s more like a five-star hotel than an airplane.

Business class

Featuring wide, fully flat leather seats, direct aisle access, and plenty of storage. Designed for productivity and rest, it’s long-haul comfort at its best.

Premium economy

Packing extra space and smart features, including: calf rest, footrest, personal reading lamp, and wide 19.5-inch seats with generous recline. Premium touches without the premium price tag.

Economy

Experience comfort, redefined, with cushioned headrests, footrests, hot towels, amenity kits, and full multi-course meals on real dinnerware. Flying economy has never felt so elevated.

 

The height of hospitality: Meet the cabin crew

Six elegantly-dressed Singapore Airlines cabin crew look into camera at an airport. The two men are smart in dark suits and ties. The four women are elegant in traditional, colourful silks.

Singapore Airlines’ cabin crew are the heart of its world-class reputation. Renowned for their polished, intuitive service, they’re trained not just to serve, but to anticipate your needs before you even ask.

Every crew member completes an intensive four-month program covering everything from etiquette and fine dining to grooming and hospitality. Whether it’s adjusting your lighting, offering a hot towel, or remembering your favourite drink, the experience feels less like service and more like thoughtful care in the sky.

It’s a level of luxury service you’ll remember long after landing.

 

Savour unforgettable flavours at 35,000 feet

Dining with Singapore Airlines is closer to a fine restaurant experience than an in-flight meal. Every menu is conceived by five world-renowned chefs: Georges Blanc, Matt Moran, Sanjeev Kapoor, Yoshihiro Murata, and Zhu Jun, who draw on their heritage and travels to design dishes that surprise and delight.

Think silky stir-fried Singaporean hor fun noodles kissed with wok hei, or delicate Japanese creations by Yoshihiro Murata. Western options shine too, from perfectly seared cuts of meat to elegantly plated desserts.

With “Book the Cook,” you can pre-order from an exclusive selection of gourmet meals, whether you crave lobster thermidor, braised beef short rib, or a light, health-conscious dish prepared just for you.

And to elevate every bite? Nearly 100 trained air sommeliers are on hand to suggest the perfect wine or champagne pairing.
