in

Following the announcement of seasonal flights to Sapporo and Harbin this upcoming winter, Scoot will be launching ticket sales to Honolulu (the airline's second long-haul destination after Athens) tomorrow. The new service between Singapore and Honolulu also marks Scoot's maiden entry into the United States of America.

Served by the wide-bodied, Boeing 787 Dreamliner, flights are slated to commence from 19 December 2017 and are operated four time weekly from Singapore to Honolulu with a stopover in Osaka. Scoot will operate non-stop Singapore–Osaka service once this route starts in addition to its existing three-times-weekly services to Osaka via Bangkok and Kaohsiung. The total frequency to Osaka from Singapore will, therefore, increase from 6-times-weekly to 10-times-weekly.

Trip Report - Japan Airlines Business Class SKY SUITE III JL724 - KUL to NRT (Kuala Lumpur to Narita)

For this flight from Kuala Lumpur to Tokyo (Narita), I chose Seat 1K only to realise that it differs slightly from the 777-200ER which I took previously - this flight is operated on a Beoing 787-9 Dreamliner. In fact, the JA870J that I flew on was so new that the cabin products were not even retrofitted. Read about my Business Class experience on Japan Airlines’ SKY SUITE III product!

Lounge Review: Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge - Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KUL)

One of the many perks with traveling on Business Class is the airport lounge access that you get before your flight - some of these are impressive like The Private Room in Changi Airport (when you fly First Class or Suites with Singapore Airlines) or the Cathay Pacific Lounge in Haneda Airport. On the other hand, some airport lounges are disappointing and lacklustre - the Singapore Airlines SilverKris Lounge in Kuala Lumpur International Airport (KLIA) is one such example.

Even though I was very tempted to head back to the Cathay Pacific Lounge (and get a double serving of that delicious Wanton Noodles) in Haneda Airport, I decided to check out the JAL Sakura Lounge Skyview this time. Read my review of this beautiful oneworld alliance airport lounge here in Haneda Airport (HND)!

Trip Report: Delta Air Lines First Class DL44 - MCO to JFK (Orlando to New York)

After spending two weeks in the United States, I made my way back to Singapore with a flight from Orlando to New York on Delta Air Lines. This was the second time (my first was from JFK to TPA) that I was flying on the airline in Domestic First Class so I was pretty clear on what to expect. I returned the car at the airport before making my way to the main building in Orlando International Airport (which is in no way as nice as Tampa International Airport) - getting through security took a while and there was no premium lane for passengers traveling in First Class (only Sky Priority check-in). Check out my review of Delta Air Lines’ First Class product!

New Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Co-brand Credit Card coming to Singapore in 2019?
New Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Co-brand Credit Card coming to Singapore in 2019?

The American Express and Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer suite of co-branded credit cards launched back in 2016 but it was fairly unimpressive to earn its spot in my wallet (click HERE to check out which credit cards I physically hold in my wallet). While I was booking a flight this morning, I realised that there is currently a tender exercise for Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Co-brand & Corporate Co-brand Credit Cards. The closing date for this tender is 22 June 2018 and according to the request for proposal, 'the targeted launch date of the new products is in early 2019'.

Is Singapore Airlines operating 787-10 Dreamliner to Bali (DPS) This Year?

I will be flying to Bali again in September and when I logged in to my KrisFlyer account today to select my seats (even though I have already booked this flight a long time ago), I realised that the seat map in Business Class has now been replaced with a 1-2-1 configuration (as opposed to a 2-2-2 one that I have previously taken). Since Singapore Airlines is planning to replace the older A330-300s with the new 787-10 Dreamliners, this can only mean one thing (I think!) - my flight in September is going to be on the brand new Regional Business Class product!
