"Singapore Airlines has been flying in the Philippines for 48 years now. We started with our Manila operations with only three flights per week and now we are flying  four times daily. This growth is a testament of the support that we have received from Filipino travelers and we are very thankful for this." - Philip Goh, Regional Vice President for SouthEast Asia of Singapore Airlines.

Singapore Airlines is all about the over-all experience. From the very first moment when you book a ticket, to your trip from departure to arrival, until you step out of the plane to retrieve your luggage. The airline is committed to make air travel more comfortable and hassle-free. They have been investing heavily in their aircraft, products and services and giving customers more value for their money.

This is why they have even collaborated with world renowned design companies like BMW Group DesignWorks and James Park Associates, to make significant improvements in their cabin designs to give you the most comfy seats that will make you feel at home.

Last February 21, we got to experience trying out their three cabin designs, namely the Economy Class, the Business Class and the First Class, at their showcase which was held at Glorietta 2 Activity Center. The new cabin models were open to the public view until February 23, 2014.
