Airline News, Business class airfares, tickets

Travelers searching for flights to Bangkok and other destinations with Singapore Airlines will hail the news that they can choose specific Economy-Class seats now.

Formerly, precise seat selection was merely offered to Economy-Class travellers who booked by means of the Singapore Airline website as well as those in Suites, First and Business Class. Those booking with a travel agent, other airlines or by phone with Singapore Airlines were able to obtain only general seat selections.

Mr Tan Pee Teck, Singapore Airlines' Senior Vice President Product and Services stated that through feedback from their customers, they have witnessed increasing demand for the ability to create definite seat requests in Economy Class through all booking channels, including travel agencies, their ticket offices and call centers.

He also added that they believe that this new service will proffer their customers with superior ease and convenience when making their travel arrangements.

However some seat types, such as those with bassinet facilities, emergency-row seats and seats reserved for passengers with reduced mobility will be unavailable to pre-reserve.

New Long Haul Routes By Jetstar Airways

Jetstar's Singapore branch has introduced unique long haul budget routes and the flights took off from Singapore's Changi Airport.

The Melbourne destined route had been extensively viewed as a move by the Qantas budget subsidiary to confront Singapore Airlines and its budget enterprise, Tiger Airways, in the long distance Singapore market.

Jetstar Airways spokeswoman Simone Pregellio stated that the carrier had sold 186 economy seats and 24 business class seats on the introductory long haul flight. The Singapore-Melbourne route will witness a daily flight each way, served by 303 passenger capacity Airbus SAS A330-200.

Strategies for further long haul budget flights are in the works for Jetstar, as an Auckland route will begin in March even as possible routes to Europe and North Asia are presently being investigated. The carrier may have as many as 4 A330s providing long haul routes from Changi by the end of 2011.

Jetstar offered extraordinary promotional 'all-in' fares to kick off the service, beginning at SGD $428 (USD $327) each way.

Singapore Airlines to recommence all-business flights to New York on a daily business

Singapore Airlines resumes daily all business class flights to New York on January 18 as demand for the service begins to pick up.

Singapore Airlines in February reduced the frequency of the 100 seat Airbus A345 trips to five times a week, as fewer people sought premium travel as a result of the global economic slowdown.

A spokeswoman for the airline, that is reputed in the industry for its business and first class services to North America and Europe conveyed that there is increased demand, and that's why the flights are escalating.

Regional aviation analyst Jim Wong of Nomura Securities in Hong Kong stated that SIA's recent progress reflected a better trend as Asian economies lead the rest of the world in recuperating from the crisis.
