Singapore Airlines is renowned for its luxurious and spacious seating in any class, it’s sleek and fine interior reflects a sophisticated yet relaxed charm, promising instant luxury the minute you board. The configuration in business class is 1, 2, 1 giving the solo travellers complete privacy and opulence for extreme comfort and provides couples the luxury of transforming the two middle seats into their very own private king bed in the skies.

Each seat is equipped with a personal entertainment 18” screen offering a wide selection of movies, TV shows, music, and games to keep passengers entertained throughout the journey. Expect plush bedding, mouth-watering food and drink options, and attentive cabin crew catering to every need including making and setting up your bed for a great night’s rest.
Food and beverage
Singapore Airlines is known for its exceptional in-flight dining experience, and the Business Class offering on the Sydney to Delhi route is no exception. Passengers can expect a curated menu featuring a variety of gourmet dishes, inspired by both international and local cuisines.

The airline’s renowned ‘Book the Cook’ service allows passengers to pre-select their meals from an extensive menu of signature dishes created by celebrated chefs.

Although I have travelled through Singapore multiple times, I may admit this airport never ceases to amaze me. An airport playground to explore gardens, attractions, and entertainment options, indulge in duty-free shopping, or relax in one of the many lounges available throughout all the terminals. With efficient transit processes and excellent connectivity, Changi Airport makes transiting between flights a hassle-free experience with their easy Skytrain which takes an average 4 minutes to connect between terminals.
