Raise a glass to SIA’s refreshed Premium Economy Class

Step into a class of your own with Singapore Airlines’ (SIA) refreshed Premium Economy Class. These changes mark the first major evolution of SIA’s Premium Economy Class experience since the airline introduced this cabin class in 2015.

The latest upgrades come on top of longstanding perks such as priority check-in and boarding and plush, spacious seats that are just as comfortable whether you’re watching your favourite blockbusters on KrisWorld or catching up on sleep. Food and beverage offerings have also been enhanced for Premium Economy Class customers, including new main courses now available for SIA’s exclusive Book the Cook service.

“We have been gathering customer feedback and conducting market research to better understand the evolving expectations for Premium Economy Class travel,” shares Senior Vice President Customer Experience, Yeoh Phee Teik.

Here’s what you can expect, the next time you fly with SIA’s Premium Economy Class:

Start your journey in style with a glass of Charles de Cazanove Brut Tradition NV Champagne shortly after take-off, then peruse your meal selection on a hard copy menu card.

Tuck into your choice of two premium main courses, which may include dishes new to Premium Economy Class such as beef bourguignon with bacon, mushrooms, vegetables and potato gratin or Asian fare like thai-style crab curry served with a combination of jasmine rice and brown rice, alongside seasonal vegetables with egg.

You can also look forward to new appetisers like garlic roasted prawns with smoked aioli and patatas bravas (Spanish fried potatoes), broccoli salad with hot smoked salmon and seasonal variations of Japanese cold noodles with soba sauce.

All meals come with upgraded bread choices, which include croissants for breakfast and garlic bread rolls for lunch, dinner and supper. And when dessert is served, enjoy options such as chocolate feuilletine cake and apple crumble cheesecake. What’s more: meals come with a small bar of chocolate alongside quality cheese and crackers.

There are also even more reasons to love the popular Book the Cook service (available for booking at least 24 hours before the flight) – customers may now choose from an expanded range of 20 dishes on rotation, for flights departing from Singapore. This includes popular options like Singapore-style seafood hor fun (flat rice noodles with a silky sauce), new additions such as slow braised lamb ragout and plant-based dishes like mushroom eggplant meatballs.

Enjoy all these meals on elegant custom-made porcelain serviceware that is finished with a contemporary stoneware glaze, and silverware wrapped in linen napkins.

Champagne aside, you’ll also enjoy a wider range of complimentary free-flow beverages on board. Wine lovers can choose between the 2023 Wairau River Sauvignon Blanc and the 2022 St Hallett Faith Shiraz, both specially selected by SIA’s panel of wine experts and exclusively available for Premium Economy Class customers.

An extensive selection of spirits including whisky, gin and vodka, signature cocktails like the Singapore Sling and a variety of beers, are also available.

If alcohol is not your, well, cup of tea, there’s also a wide selection of beverages that includes soft drinks, fruit juices, coffee and teas. New additions to this extensive list of options are peppermint and chamomile tea for that caffeine-free wind-down, as well as hot chocolate from Cadbury.

Last but not least, don’t forget to request for your very own amenity kit, available exclusively for Premium Economy Class customers on flights that are seven hours or longer. Designed in collaboration with sustainability-minded brand Out of the Woods®, the kit includes eye shades and slippers made from recycled PET material, as well as lip balm that comes in a biodegradable packaging, to keep you comfortable from top to toe during your journey.

Premium Economy Class is available on selected SIA flights. For more information on SIA’s Premium Economy Class experience, visit the official website.
