Singapore Airlines, the flag carrier of Singapore
Founded in 1937 and headquartered in Singapore, Singapore Airlines serves as the country's national carrier. Known successively as Malayan Airways, Malaysian Airways Limited, and then Malaysia-Singapore Airlines, it adopted its current name in 1972. With its primary hub at Singapore Changi Airport and membership in Star Alliance, it stands today as one of the world's largest and most decorated airlines. It has notably hit the top spot four times in the Skytrax World Airline Awards, which names the airline of the year.
Another significant milestone is that Singapore Airlines became the first in aviation history to operate the Airbus A380 in 2007. The carrier continues to prioritize a fleet of the latest generation, fuel-efficient aircraft to serve 64 cities across 35 countries, though its network remains most dense throughout Asia and Oceania.
Singapore Airlines: flights that stand out
Flying with Singapore Airlines means accessing premium service across each of the 5 cabin classes (Economy, Premium Economy, Business, First Class, and Suites). For instance, Economy class offers comfortable seating with adequate legroom. In Premium Economy, seats feature dedicated footrests and calf rests. In First Class, your seat converts into a full bed, similar to the experience in Business class. Finally, the Suites offer the ultimate experience with private cabins that include a full bed. Every class features the KrisWorld entertainment system, which includes apps, movies, series, and music. This is paired with creative in-flight menus that rival those of a Michelin-starred restaurant.
KrisFlyer, the compelling advantage of Singapore Airlines
KrisFlyer, the loyalty program for Singapore Airlines, allows you to earn miles when traveling with the airline and its various partners. The concept is straightforward: the more miles you accumulate, the better your chances of securing discounted fares, a free Singapore Airlines flight, or an upgrade on your future travels.
In my opinion, Singapore Airlines is the best airline I have ever flown with. The service is really top notch, the flight attendants are warm and very professional, the comfort on board is excellent, and the meals are perfectly decent. The fares are a bit high, sure, but the level of service makes it well worth it. A high quality flight experience.
