Singapore Airlines sells out meal experience on planes that don't take off

People in Singapore are finally flocking to the city’s airport again – but not for a flight out of the city.

Singapore Airlines has started offering customers the opportunity to have a meal experience on a grounded Airbus A380, and says that its first service sold out in less than 30 minutes.

The airline told Bloomberg News that after its two initial listings for lunches on 24 and 25 October sold out so quickly, it was looking to extend the offer for more days and add the option of dinner as well.

Tickets for a meal in a first-class suite went for about £360, business class seats were priced at £181, premium economy seats for £54 and it was £30 for economy class. There was also an option for customers to pay through their frequent-flyer miles.

“Restaurant A380 @Changi” is part of series of measures announced by Singapore Airlines last month to increase its earnings which, like the rest of aviation industry, have taken a serious hit during the coronavirus pandemic. Last month, Singapore’s national carrier had announced that it would lay off about 20 percent of its workforce.

The guests coming to the airport for lunch and dinner in the double-decker aircraft can also choose from hundreds of movies, television shows and albums of music to enjoy while they dine from special menus selected for each cabin class.
