Airline freebies available on Singapore Airlines
Singaporeans and free stuff are like moths to flames. That’s probably the reason why this TikTok by an ex-SIA flight attendant went viral, detailing all the airline freebies people can get on Singapore Airlines flights.
For those jetting off on an upcoming holiday, we consulted our ex-cabin crew colleagues and checked in with crew who’re still in the biz to get the lowdown on the lesser-known things you can request in economy class on SIA flights.
These may all be included in your airfare, but take note that stocks are usually limited, and not to demand for these during busy periods such as meal services.
Things to do on your next overseas trip:
1. Sip on unlimited cocktails & hot drinks
Take a quick peek at the top of the meal trolley and you’ll likely be able to spot the usual suspects such as wine, beer, orange and apple juice and some sodas. But what you might not know is that you’re actually allowed to order an array of alcoholic beverages as well.
There’s also the famous Singapore Sling on SIA flights.

Pre-Covid, you might have been aware of this if your flight ever had a drink cart service. But if you’ve never experienced it, feel free to order a tipple during the lull period. You can get bar faves such as vodka, gin, whisky, bourbon, rum, and Baileys – all in common cocktail forms too, such as gin and tonic, bloody mary, and screwdriver.
Your mixers? Other than apple and orange juice, you can get pineapple and tomato juice, and soft drinks like bitter lemon and ginger ale.
Ginger Ale is great for when you’re having an upset tummy onboard.

If you’re not much of a cocktail person, you can also wind down with hot drinks onboard. Other than the usual coffee and tea, SIA has hot green and peppermint tea, and Milo too. There’s also chilled fresh milk onboard for the kiddos.
