Applicable for a minimum of two passengers travelling together, this promotional offer could be availed from January 8 to 10, and is valid for travel out of Bangalore from February 11 to 13. Tickets could be booked through travel agents, the airlines or online through ww.singaporeair.com.

Onboard, the airline serves gourmet cuisine. With the recent introduction of chef Sanjeev Kapoor on their international culinary panel, first class passengers are given an option of Indian cuisine and customers who require special meals for religious or medical reasons are also catered to.

Also available onboard is the entertainment system "KrisWorld", which provides over 500 entertainment options including blockbuster Hollywood and Bollywood movies and music albums.
