Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines is recognised worldwide for its award-winning service, premium onboard comfort, and seamless global connectivity, making it one of the most reliable choices for travellers seeking a smooth, hassle-free journey. It remains a trusted premium option for Australians travelling to Europe and Asia.

Less well known are Singapore Airlines’ fifth freedom routes and how they can be used to build Round-the-World fares. The Frankfurt–New York and Los Angeles–Tokyo sectors make it possible to create a pseudo round-the-world itinerary covering Australia–Europe–North America–Asia–Australia, all with a high-quality airline at competitive prices.

For those wanting to include the USA alongside Europe, these routes offer a straightforward way to link four continents on one ticket, delivering both value and comfort without compromise.

Below are some examples of the itineraries that Singapore Airlines’ Fifth Freedom routes can open up. While there are multiple Round-the-World and pseudo Round-the-World options, the key advantage of these fares is that all flights are both operated and marketed by Singapore Airlines. If you enjoy Singapore Airlines’ style of travel, these fares are an excellent fit.

• Australia → London // Frankfurt → New York City → Singapore → Australia

  *Making your own way between LA and NYC can sometimes create even better fare options.

These are manually constructed airfares rather than fixed-price packages. Pricing varies considerably with your dates, cabin, destinations and availability, so we price each itinerary individually to find the best combination available for your trip.

Singapore Airlines also allows mixed-class combinations from the point of turnaround, giving us some excellent ways to balance comfort and overall fare. Premium Economy and Business Class can be combined within the same journey, while selected itineraries can even incorporate First Class for part of the trip. For example, we may be able to build First Class to Europe and onwards to the USA, before returning to Australia in Business Class. It is a fantastic way to experience Singapore Airlines’ very best cabins without flying First Class for the entire journey.

Singapore Airlines operates one of the world’s most modern long-haul fleets, made up of the Airbus A350, Boeing 777, Boeing 787 and the flagship Airbus A380. Each offers a slightly different Business Class experience, but all feature lie-flat beds, direct aisle access and excellent service.

On the A350 and 777, wide leather seats recline fully with two signature positions — Lazy Z for relaxed posture and Sundeck for stretching out. There’s generous storage, modern charging points, KrisWorld entertainment on an 18-inch HD screen, and the option to pre-order meals through “Book the Cook.” The A380 emphasises space and privacy, with sculpted seats and dividers that convert into shared beds, complemented by refined dining on Narumi porcelain and premium wines.

From Australia, all Sydney flights include four cabins, Melbourne flights vary, while Brisbane, Adelaide, Perth, Cairns and Darwin offer Economy and Business Class.

Flying with Singapore Airlines is about more than just the aircraft. From the airport to the cabin, every part of the journey is designed to be smooth, comfortable and rewarding.
