Fly in style with the best seats in the sky
Singapore Airlines (SIA), the five-star full service carrier, is still the best way to fly as it offers exceptional value all-in fare promotions for roundtrip economy class tickets available until February 28 with travel periods until October 31.
The promo includes $150 to Singapore and $888 to 12 cities in Europe. The promo is exclusive to BPI Express Credit cardholders, Globe Platinum Subscribers, Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer members, and Greenbelt and Glorietta shoppers. (For more information, you may visit www.singaporeair.com.)
Besides its promo seats, SIA has also officially unveiled and showcased its New Generation Cabins for the local travelers to experience first-hand the innovative designs before they fly. The upgraded cabins promise a homier and comfier traveling experience in the sky.
Passengers who are booked on select flights from Singapore to London on Boeing 777-300ER will be the first to try the innovation come September. The New Generation Cabins feature upgraded and top of the line first, business, and economy class cabin products.
“We’ve brought in the next generation seats for everyone to try before they fly. Singapore Airlines has been flying in the Philippines for 48 years now. Not so long ago, we started our Manila operations with three flights a week and today we are flying four times daily. This growth is a testament of the support that we have received from Filipino travelers and we are very thankful for this,” SIA Regional Vice President for Southeast Asia Philip Goh said.
Approximately half a million Filipino travelers have visited the Lion City while 130,000 Singaporean travelers visited the country last year. Singaporeans are included in the Philippines’ top five foreign visitors and by the end of 2014, the country is hoping to accommodate 200,000 Singaporean visitors, Department of Tourism (DoT) Assistant Secretary Benito Bengzon Jr. said.
The DoT has been stepping up its marketing and promotions by participating in major travel fairs and inviting Singaporean media and travel agents for family tours, Bengzon added.
“There is a huge potential for two-way traffic, meaning in and out bound travels. It is a welcome development which gives tourists more options. It provides a certain market for those who want a luxurious option,” he said.

Next Generation Cabins
BMW Group Design Works developed the New First Class seats while James Park Associates styled the New Business Class. The New Generation Cabins give special attention to comfort, details, needs, and lifestyle of its passengers.
The New First Class shows exquisite details and boasts of ensuring optimal personal space and demarcation. They feature a personal 24-inch LCD screen, longer and wider seat, padded headboards, and additional mattress layers. Perfect for the long haul flights are their three lighting systems, which intensify according to the passenger’s needs at varying positions in both seat and bed modes.
Contemporary designs—metallic colors, curved shell for isolation, and extravagant furnishings—meanwhile are found in the New Business Class. It is still the widest in the sky, featuring greater recline with new seating positions and an all-in-one business panel. It also has varying lighting options to match one’s mood.
The New Economy Class meanwhile provides more knee and legroom, movable headrest, cushioned seats with bolstered sides, and in-seat power supply to charge and connect devices.
The KrisWorld Inflight Entertainment System offers everyone across all seat classes with larger and high definition LCD and touch screen handsets.
