Work? Vacation? Workcation? Whether it is flying to a meeting in London, Rome, or Miami, corporate travel tends to blend business and pleasure into one experience. While Paul is chilling with Chai Bear at home, Miki suddenly needed to hop on a plane to Singapore and India for 72 hours.
Booking
Did you know corporate travels account for almost 75% of airline’s total revenue? Last minute airfares in premium cabins are obnoxiously expensive, so I’ll share how to use miles to book the exact same experience.
Singapore Airlines releases the most inventory to its own program. For LAX-SIN, you can find mileage redemptions ranging from 107,000-128,500 for Saver/Advantage rates. This beats spending $8000+ USD…
For partners, you can sometimes find award availabilities for even a cheaper rate. For example, Aeroplan charges only 87,500 miles for the exact same flight.
Business Class
Singapore Airlines Business Class passengers access Star Alliance lounge at LAX. It’s a comfortable lounge with a nice terrace view of Tom Bradley International Terminal.
After a sip of champagne, it’s time to board the A350 long-haul aircraft. The seat is ridiculously wide with the footrest angled slightly towards the window for non-bulkhead seats.
For all segments, you can “Book the Cook” and custom order your meals in advance. K-drama binge watching not included.
Miki slept for most of the flights. For an airline that has the famous floating bedroom in the sky, it’s no surprise that Singapore Airlines Business Class bed is this wide.
Overall, Singapore Airlines Business Class is one of the most comfortable ways to fly long-haul around the world. Thanks to this amazing airline, this last minute trip makes flying to the other side of the world remarkably bearable. For corporate travel, it almost makes you forget that you are going to work. For leisure travelers, it’s a fantastic way to use your points and enjoy one of the best ways to fly Business without doing… business 😉
