Singapore Airlines has launched a new product that will
allow passengers in certain markets to buy bundles of flight tickets that can
be used against future bookings.
Dubbed Flight Pass, the bundles will initially be offered on
SIA services between Singapore and France, Italy, South Korea, Spain, the
Netherlands and the UK. This includes quarantine-free Vaccinated Travel Lane
flights if the trip starts in Singapore.
According to the airline, customers may be able to “lock in
discounted air fares for multiple flights” and decide their travel dates at a later
time, subject to seat availability. Travel can be customised based on
parameters such as destinations, the number of flights, the travel period and
fare type.
Tickets purchased as part of a Flight Pass bundle can also
be transferred to colleagues, friends and family members, giving organisations
flexibility in assigning tickets to employees.
The service has been launched in partnership with US-based travel
options provider Optiontown. SIA says it plans to expand Flight Pass to other
destinations on its network in the future.
Lee Lik Hsin, executive vice president of commercial at
Singapore Airlines, said: “As more quarantine-free international travel flights
become available, Flight Pass offers Singapore Airlines customers greater
flexibility and options when planning their trips. It allows them to enjoy
greater cost savings by pooling their travel and tailoring it according to
their preferences.”
