These experiences, known as "Discover Your Singapore Airlines", is an initiative led by SIA to engage with their customers and offer unique activities for them, at a time when Covid-19 has drastically reduced the number of flights operated by the national carrier.

For those who miss being in an aircraft, SIA will be providing a unique opportunity to dine inside SIA's Airbus A380, which is the world's largest passenger aircraft.
Diner can choose from special menus for each cabin class, and options include SIA's signature international cuisine, as well as dishes from the airline's special Peranakan menu, designed by Singaporean chef Shermay Lee.

3. Dining in with SIA@Home
For those who prefer to stay at home, SIA will also provide an opportunity to enjoy SIA's in-flight dining experience, complete with a special cabin crew concierge service.
Customers can choose from 10 menus, which feature SIA's First Class and Business Class meals, complete with wine or champagne.
Limited edition dining ware and amenities will also be available, depending on the package chosen.
According to a SIA spokesperson, the cabin crew will be sharing menu options and wine pairing recommendations over the phone with customers.
However, SIA clarified with Mothership that the crew will not be physically present to the food.
"Our cabin crew are featured in the welcome videos, and our exclusive cabin crew concierge will also be calling each customer to guide them through the product options and offer menu recommendations, to elevate their dining experience," said the SIA spokesperson.
These packages will come with a heating and plating guide, which will be available in both video and physical formats, in order to help customers recreate meals that are served on board SIA aircraft.
However, those who opt for the "Book the Chef" add-on will be able to have a chef personally heat, plate and serve the meal in their homes.
