Singapore's Airport Transformed Its A380 Jumbo Jet Into a Pop-Up Restaurant
Adding more openings after the first dates sold out in under 30 minutes.
With international travel pretty much impossible right now, many airlines have tried to come up with ideas to get passengers back onto their planes. In Australia, Qantas offered a “flight to nowhere” that gave those with wanderlust a chance to just fly on a plane around the country for seven hours before landing at the same airport, and in Japan, Fuji Dreams Airline offered passengers a chance to fly over Mount Fuji — which has been closed to visitors since this summer — before also landing back in the same airport. Now, Singapore‘s Changi Airport has found an even more creative way to get people back onto its planes: by turning two A380 jumbo jets into pop-up restaurants.
Run by Singapore Airlines, the company is inviting guests to board two of its massive planes to enjoy an on-flight meal in the comfort of their cabins. Like usual flights, you’ll be able to choose between different classes, with First Class offering a full five-course meal including a cheese and fruit course. The program was so popular that all of the tickets for the two-day opening were sold out within 30 minutes, so the airline had to add more dates onto its schedule. For those more adventurous, you can also be rewarded KrisShop discounts, a limited edition goodie bag, and additional gifts if you rock up in traditional heritage wear.
For those in the Lion City, the next openings for the A380 pop-up restaurant at Singapore’s Changi Airport will be on October 31 and November 1.
