Singapore Airlines frequently asked questions
Is Singapore Airlines Wi-Fi free?
Yes, on most aircraft, for all passengers in all cabins including economy. Very few carriers at this service level offer complimentary connectivity throughout.
How do I book Singapore Suites with miles?
Through KrisFlyer directly. Singapore reserves most Suites and First award space for its own members rather than releasing it to Star Alliance partners. Every major US flexible points currency transfers to KrisFlyer, so accumulating directly is practical.
What is Book the Cook?
A pre-order service letting you choose a main course from a much wider menu than the standard onboard offering, available in premium cabins and on some routes in economy. Order at least 24 hours before departure through Manage Booking.
