Discover your Singapore Airlines with A380 Restaurant, SIA Training Centre and SIA@Home experience

Missing air travel and in-flight experience? Singapore Airlines has unveiled three new initiatives for you to experience the airline’s service, even as the number of flights plunged because of the Covid-19 pandemic. These include lunch on board SIA’s Airbus A380 jumbo jet, a tour of SIA’s training facilities and home delivery of meals from its first class and business class menus which can be booked on the KrisShop website.

Restaurant A380@Changi

An A380 plane parked at Changi Airport will be temporarily converted into a restaurant on 24 and 25 Oct 2020, with reservations starting on 12 Oct 2020. Diners get to choose the cabin class they want to dine in. A three-hour lunch in the economy class cabin of a Singapore Airlines (SIA) Airbus A-380 will cost $50. For those who want a better experience, the price goes up to $600 for lunch in the ultra first-class suites.

The menu will feature international cuisines and a Peranakan menu customised for the temporary restaurant. Each meal will come with two free alcoholic drinks and free flow of other beverages. Diners will get other perks, such as KrisShop discounts and a goodie bag. Those who turn up in traditional heritage wear, such as sarong kebaya, cheongsam or saree, will get an extra gift.

Precautions will be taken by SIA to reduce the risk of spread of the Covid-19 virus. These include cleaning and sanitising the plane, capping group sizes at five, implementing safe distancing and doing a temperature check. Both crew and diners will be required to wear a face mask at all times when on board, except when eating or drinking.

Inside Singapore Airlines

The behind-the-scenes tour at SIA’s training facility will cost $15 for children between three and 12 years old, and $30 for adults. Visitors will get to talk to pilots and cabin crew about their training and see SIA’s flight simulators. They can also take part in craft activities and buy in-flight meals. This tour of the SIA Training Centre will take place on 21, 22, 28 and 29 Nov 2020. Bookings will open from 1 Nov 2020.

Various add-ons, such as flight simulator experience that pilots use for training for up to three participants, enjoy a wine appreciation session or go through a grooming workshop conducted by SIA’s cabin crew trainers, can also be bought on top of the basic tour tickets.

Parents can opt for an add-on option to send their child for a junior cabin crew experience. The children can dress up in the SIA sarong kebaya uniform, learn customer service skills and act as cabin crew members in a mock-up of the A380 business class cabin.

SIA@Home

Recreate the SIA first- or business-class in-flight dining experience at the comfort of your own home with the food being delivered right to the doorstep. Specially crafted by SIA’s panel of international chefs, the meal is paired with a bottle of wine or champagne and SIA’s satay dish.

A first class or business class amenity kit will be provided together with instructions on how to heat and plate the dishes. An additional fee applies to book the services of a private chef who will reheat, plate and serve the meal in their homes.

Bookings is now available online, with prices start from $288 for a business-class meal for two and $448 for a first-class meal.
