Starting May 1 of this year, Singapore Airlines will be the first global carrier in the world to let its Premium Economy passengers pre-order their main courses from its in-flight menu, from anywhere in the airline's global network. The airline is pleased to offer more customers a more personalized dining experience when they fly with Singapore Airlines.

The move to allow Premium Economy passengers enjoy the benefit of pre-ordering meals comes after the rollout of the perk to Singapore Airlines' Suites, First Class and Business Class customers on all flights across its network in 2018.

Eligible customers who want to pre-order their main courses can do so through Singapore Airlines' website or mobile app anytime from 3 weeks before travel up to 24 hours before their scheduled flight departure. All there is to do is for customers to indicate their preferred meal choice from either the ‘Book the Cook' service or the in-flight menu.

Additionally, Singapore Airlines is also improving its Child Meal program to let parents pre-order specific meals for their little ones from three distinct cuisine categories - Asian, Western and Vegetarian - up to 24 hours before the day of travel.

This is great news as it offers parents more choices and transparency over the child meals prior to travel, instead of learning what meal will be served only when they are already on board. The ability to select their kids' meals ahead of time should spark greater confidence when it comes to feeding their children aged between 2 and 12-years-old.

Keep in mind this initiative will go into effect from June 2019 for flights in all cabin classes originating out of Singapore initially. Thereafter, Singapore Airlines will progressively introduce the initiative to flights originating out of overseas destinations from August 2019 onwards.

That's not all. Singapore Airlines is also improving the menu options for two of its special meals – the Indian Vegetarian Meal and Muslim Meal. To offer more variety for its customers, the airline will also rotate these menu choices more frequently.
