From 12 January 2016, customers from Dubai can enjoy the new Premium Economy Class on Singapore Airlines. Dubai will be the first country in Gulf/South Asian region to experience this class, which is part of a two-year development programme costing about US$80 million.
Premium Economy Class will welcome customers with a contemporary and stylish design. Each seat has a width of either 18.5 or 19.5 inches, depending on aircraft type, with an 8-inch recline and a seat pitch of 38 inches. Together with active noise-cancelling headphones and a sleek 13.3-inch full HD monitor, customers can look forward to an enhanced in-flight entertainment experience.
Other features include a full leather finishing, calf-rest and foot-bar for every seat, individual in-seat power supply, two USB ports, personal in-seat reading light, cocktail table, and more stowage space for personal items.
“The new cabin product is the culmination of two years of work, which included extensive research and focus group studies involving customers and our design partners. Our Premium Economy Class aims to provide customers more comfort and in-flight amenities. Complemented by the exceptional service that Singapore Airlines is so well known for, the new cabin class will be ‘a great new way to fly’,” said Singapore Airlines General Manager Gulf, Mr Erwin Widjaja.
Premium Economy Class will provide an extensive range of food and beverage offerings, which includes the Premium Economy Book the Cook service, enabling advance ordering of a selection of main courses.
Priority check-in and baggage handling, with a generous baggage allowance of 35kg, will be offered to customers. Members of the KrisFlyer frequent-flyer programme will also receive 10% more miles when they fly in Premium Economy Class.
Premium Economy Class is currently only available on Sydney and Hong Kong routes, and will be progressively introduced on 19 Airbus A380s, 19 Boeing 777-300ERs and the first 20 Airbus A350s.
To introduce the new product to the general public, Singapore Airlines is offering introductory all-in fares to Singapore from AED3,375, Hong Kong from AED3,375, Sydney from AED6,315. This offer is available for booking from now for a limited time only.
