For two days, Singapore Airlines guests will enjoy a complete in-flight dining experience on the ground. Diners can choose their cabin and enjoy the attentive service of the Singapore Airlines flight attendants, while enjoying the airline’s signature international cuisine on the plane. The airline will also offer delicious dishes from the Peranakan menu specially designed by the famous Singaporean chef Shermay Lee.
In addition to providing the A380 restaurant experience, Singapore Airlines will also conduct a behind the scenes tour at its training center which is likely to take place over two weekends in late November. The airline will bring visitors to its training center for guided tours and activities. Participants will be able to learn about the history of the airline, as well as the training methods of the crew and SIA’s work on sustainability. They can even add a run in the flight simulator, wine tasting experience or makeup lessons and how to get the look of a “Singapore Girl”.
People can also enjoy SIA’s best dining at their home. From October 5, Singapore Airlines will deliver a meal with wine and champagne for two persons to their residents.
