6 Reasons to Fly with Singapore Airlines

One thing’s for sure when you’re on a Singapore Airlines flight: you certainly won’t be bored. KrisWorld is the airline’s wide-ranging in-flight entertainment system, a passenger’s all-access pass to more than 1,900 entertainment options including films, TV shows, music, podcasts and more. Whether you’re a solo traveller looking for a great TV show to lose yourself in or a family searching for a suitable movie to watch together, you’ll certainly find it onboard here. Beyond this array of entertainment, there are plenty of games to get stuck into, a chance to peruse a curated collection of goodies for sale in the KrisShop and access to SilverKris.com, where passengers can find destination inspiration, read lifestyle features and learn about the latest news with Singapore Airlines.

But Singapore Airlines also recognises the importance of some passengers needing to stay well-connected in the skies and everyone who travels in its Business and First Class cabins, as well as the luxury Suites, will receive complimentary, unlimited Wi-Fi. Travelling in Economy or Premium Economy? Sign up to Singapore Airlines’ KrisFlyer frequent flyer programme and you’ll enjoy unlimited, free Wi-Fi as well. One thing’s for sure on a flight with Singapore Airlines: with the wealth of entertainment choices, the hardest decision will be picking what to watch first.

No matter which cabin you travel in on a Singapore Airlines flight, you’re guaranteed to travel in style. The airline offers four different types of cabin: Economy, Premium Economy, Business Class and First Class or Suites, all of which are regularly lauded for their supreme comfort and onboard service. Struggling to choose which cabin to fly in? Let us help make your decision a little easier by sharing what each one offers…

These might be Singapore Airlines’ entry-level seats but they feels anything but. They’re engineered to be among the roomiest Economy seats in the skies, allowing you more opportunity to make the most of the in-flight entertainment and tasty onboard menus. If you’re after even more space, Singapore Airlines even offers the chance to book seats with extra legroom (pictured above).

Taking the style factor up a notch, the buzzwords of Singapore Airlines’ Premium Economy cabin are convenience and comfort. Here, the seats feature a built-in calf rest and footrest to allow you to truly stretch out, a pair of USB ports and even better culinary options, including the Book the Cook service, where you can pick what you eat up to 24 hours before you fly. Delicious.

This cabin is where you start to forget you’re even on a plane. Crafted in Italian leather and fully reclining into a lay-flat bed, it’s impossible not to be well rested and get a good night’s sleep in Singapore Airlines’ Business Class cabin. Ample storage means your belongings are only ever an arm’s length away, while the quality of food and wine served onboard is akin to eating out in a fine-dining restaurant.

This is the ultimate when it comes to onboard decadence with Singapore Airlines. More like sky-high retreats that offer the ideal conditions for travellers, whether they’re relaxing, working or dining. Really want to go all out? Book a double suite and you’ll have the unthinkable: your own double bed in the air. Yes, you read that right. 

The mere mention of in-flight food is usually met with a groan by most people about to eat it. But on a flight with Singapore Airlines, you could be forgiven for thinking you were dining in a restaurant. That’s because the airline prides itself on delivering a fine-dining experience that draws inspiration from the rich culinary culture of the Lion City itself. Its melting pot of dishes, including traditional meals like Singapore noodles, are reflected in the various cabins of a Singapore Airlines flight, taking your taste buds on a worldwide journey that showcases Singaporean food in microcosm.

But Singapore Airlines wants to ensure that restaurant quality is upheld, which is why each meal is picked and approved by its International Culinary Panel, a group of five expert celebrity chefs who develop each dish in a simulated pressurised cabin. This is to make sure the flavours are accurately represented when passengers feast on the same food at 35,000 feet. Not only that, but Singapore Airlines’ delicious menus are perfectly paired with a curated selection of wines and Champagnes that are handpicked by nominated ‘air sommeliers’. These experts taste more than 1,000 wines every year to see which ones are best suited to be consumed in the sky, meaning they, along with the International Culinary Panel, do all the hard work to make sure you have the best onboard culinary experience.

Don’t just take our word for it when it comes to the excellence of Singapore Airlines. It’s one of the most celebrated airline operators in the world, winning a host of industry awards that have been voted for by passengers and industry professionals alike. Each year, the airline’s winning combination of extraordinary service, genial cabin crew, delicious food and comfortable cabins are consistently praised. With all this recognition, we don’t think you’d be disappointed.

In 2024 alone, Singapore Airlines scooped several awards. It triumphed in three categories at the Skytrax World Airline Awards 2024 – a ceremony often called the ‘Oscars of the Aviation Industry' – including ‘Best in First Class’, ‘Best Cabin Staff’ and ‘Best Airline in Asia’. And most recently, in November 2024, it won five categories at the Business Traveller Awards 2024, including ‘Best Airline’ and ‘Best Economy Class’. Year after year, Singapore Airlines consistently picks up awards that pay tribute to the memorable in-flight experience it delivers. The airline’s trophy cabinet only seems to get bigger each year and its glittering recognition doesn’t seem to show any signs of slowing down soon…

The Singapore Airlines experience begins before you even board the plane. Its luxurious lounges with their modern facilities and delicious spreads of food set you up perfectly for your in-flight experience. While their lounges offer passengers a comfortable experience, Singapore Airlines has also been committed to consistently improving them. Proof of this can be found in the new SilverKris Lounge at London Heathrow, which reopened in August 2024 after a six-month-long refurbishment. Like all of Singapore Airlines' lounges, it's designed to feel like a 'home away from home', ensuring comfy corners from which passengers can enjoy the tasty, signature Singaporean food both the airline and its home country are known for. If you need a private space, the lounge’s productivity pods give you somewhere to allow you to catch up on work or have a chat with friends and family before your trip.

When passengers have explored Singapore and are ready to return home, the SilverKris Lounges at Changi Airport boast modern shower facilities, a range of live cooking stations and relaxation areas that make sure you feel as calm as possible before your flight. It’s just the first step of a memorable experience with Singapore Airlines, where you’ll be made to feel welcome and relaxed from the moment you arrive at check-in to when you disembark the plane, ready for your adventure ahead…
