Keeping us connected

Singapore Airlines has been connecting Queenslanders to the rest of the world since 1984!

Singapore Airlines is no stranger to keeping Australian’s and travellers connected to the rest of the world: from Brisbane Airport, they’ve been doing it for close to 30 years!  

With three daily departures direct from Brisbane to Singapore, SQ offer your clients swift access to the Lion City in top comfort. Not only that, they offer excellent connections to more than 100 destinations globally. 

Singapore Airlines’ Asia and European connections are especially great. Combined with Scoot (in the SIA group of airlines), they help travellers reach 18 countries across Asia and 14 destinations around Europe and the UK.  

Whether your client wants to cycle Amsterdam’s canals, go temple hopping in Siem Reap or take in the sights in London, Singapore Airlines gets them there with ease.  

Award-winning service is just the beginning

If there’s one thing that Singapore Airlines is known exceptionally well for, it’s their fab service: at the gate, in the lounge, or on board. Those signature service standards are just the beginning. Passengers can also expect thoughtfully designed cabin products and in-flight features designed to up comfort levels, no matter the cabin class.  

In our catch-up with YuJay Lau, Singapore Airlines’ Brisbane Station Manager, he revealed. “What sets Singapore Airlines apart is our attention to detail. There is no detail too small, no stone left unturned in our desire to create the best possible product.” 

He continues, “Underpinning all that, is a really committed and dedicated team, ensuring the lights have stayed on during the last two years of the pandemic, knowing that my team and I play a critical role in keeping trade routes open, and keeping Australians and Queenslanders connected with the rest of the world.” 

When we say Singapore Airlines is award-winning, we mean it. Look at the accolades Singapore Airlines just achieved in the recent Skytrax 2022 World Airline Awards: 

  • World’s Best Cabin Staff 
  • World’s Best First Class 
  • Best Airline in Asia  
  • Best First Class Airline seat 
  • Best First Class Catering 
  • Best Business Class in Asia 
  • Best Business Class Lounge in Asia 
  • Best Premium Economy Class in Asia 
  • Best Economy Class in Asia 

SQ is at the top of the list for most awards this year – congrats! 

In-flight comfort

Enjoy the latest in-flight entertainment, movies and TV shows.

We all know that not all full-service airlines are created equal. On Singapore Airlines, full-service means just that.  

No extra costs for your meals, even those special ones. No charge for a Singapore Sling to help you nod off in the right time zone. And every passenger receives an amenities kit filled with little treats that improve in-flight comfort levels, even in Economy Class, on request. Plus, there are the latest movies and TV shows, and no, no one is paying for earphones, either. 

Flights out of Brisbane are currently operated by the A350-900 medium haul aircraft, a modern fuel-efficient plane known for its quiet engines. Australians can choose from Economy and Business Class seats on the BNE-SIN route. 

More SQ perks

There’s so much to see and do around the Lion City

If all this wasn’t enough, Singapore Airlines and Virgin Australia recently expanded their partnership, allowing codeshare connections to 42 destinations across 23 countries.  

Plus, if your clients are not already clocking points on the Star Alliance network, they’ll be able to nab Virgin Velocity points on applicable flights and fare classes. 

Singapore Stopovers

As one of the world’s most popular stopover destinations, the bonus of a trip with Singapore Airlines is that your clients can add a stopover to their long-haul vacay with complete ease. Or travel to experience the wonders of Singapore by itself, of course.  

YuJay shared that food is a big part of the Singaporean experience. He commented, “When in Singapore, people should definitely go to the hawker centre. Singapore always has somewhere to go for your food fix, no matter the time of day.” You had us at food, YuJay!  

If your clients aren’t stopping over, Changi Airport is the mid-flight break that every traveller needs. Exploring the butterfly gardens, standing under the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, or grabbing a yummy Singapore laksa, resets the system (and the soul) before flight two.  

Brisbane: We’re Better Connected

Brisbane Airport gets every holiday off on the right foot. Alongside better, faster connections both internationally and domestically (BNE has the most domestic connections in Australia!), Brisbane Airport has a ton of other cool tricks.  

Like speedy transfer times between terminals and the airport’s warm and friendly crew. The peeps at BNE are so good, they keep winning the Skytrax Best Airport Staff Australia/Pacific award (fifth year running, baby)!  

For travellers eligible to enjoy the comfort of a Singapore Airlines Lounge, the lounge’s custom batik design leaves no doubt in the heritage connections. Plus, lucky lounge guests experience the famed Singapore Airlines service right from the get-go.
