Former Thai pop star Briohny Smyth says a wooden splinter from Singapore Airlines’ signature business class satay lodged in her throat, scarred her vocal cords and impaired the voice she uses to earn a living. Her lawsuit was filed just days before a strict two-year deadline—but so far no photograph of the shard, medical record or contemporaneous flight report has been made public.
Singapore Airlines is progressively blocking some zero-balance KrisFlyer accounts from its normal award-search engine, despite publishing no rule about the restriction. Transferring 1,000 points appears to restore access, while calling or using its limited Flight Recommender offers imperfect workarounds.
Singapore Airlines and Malaysia Airlines have launched their antitrust-immunized joint venture with shared fares between Singapore and Kuala Lumpur. The partnership is more than a route deal: the two carriers used to be one airline, serving two places that briefly were one country, before splitting into very different national strategies.

A photo of a Singapore Airlines flight attendant assisting a passenger’s foot has gone viral with claims that first class includes on-demand foot rubs or “foot cleansing.” The image may be real, but the service almost certainly is not: this looks far more like first aid or assistance with an injured passenger than some secret Singapore Airlines luxury perk

Singapore Airlines flight 21, the 19 hour 10 minute non-stop from Newark to Singapore, struck the tail of a Spirit Airlines plane on Tuesday morning. Video from inside the Singapore Airbus A350-900 shows the damage to Spirit’s tail.
September 30 is the last day to redeem miles from one program for travel on the other airline. No changes to any redemptions for future-dated travel starting October 1.
Only Qatar Airways and THAI offer caviar in long haul business class. And it’s surprisingly inexpensive to do. The investment, for them, almost seems like a no-brainer.
Singapore Airlines no longer offers its Airbus A380 Suites on flights from the United States. That’s a shame because it’s one of the best products in the world.
