full service special fare...

I love it, when a fully serviced airline delivers an amazing airfare special...it grabs our attention and reminds us of the joy and ease of flying with such an airline.

Flying a non-serviced airline is fine for a short-haul, but nothing longer than three hours, thanks. Travel beyond that time frame and you're either grabbing for a beverage, bored or contemplating food.  The only likely outcome is, you'll be diving into your wallet for change for a purchase, whether it be for entertainment to fill in time or to rehydrate the mind and body.

Here, Singapore Airlines puts it beautifully with what you'll recieve for their current Melbourne to Singapore "Full Service Special Fare" for only $347 plus taxes. 
On sale until the 28 January and valid for departures between 01 March 2011 and 31 March 2011.
Of course conditions apply and its subject to availability.

"The experience begins at the airport with 20 kilograms of free baggage allowance. Once on board we provide complimentary drinks and a full meal service with a choice of main courses. If you have special dietary requirements you are able to pre-order a special meal. 

Relax in your seat with a complimentary pillow and fleece blanket while you enjoy KrisWorld, your personal in-flight entertainment system. DON'T MISS OUT - BOOK NOW!"

Would you pay to plant your bum?

The airline industry grew to a lusious shape, expanding from regular economy seating to business spacious pod beds to the unreachable first class. Or is it? Flights were fully serviced with meals, wine, pillows, blankets and entertainment followed by the onset of lounges for desiring passengers wishing to escape the hustle and bustle of the airport and not to mention frequent flyer programs.

Then came the demise...the introduction of unserviced flights, where we have to purchase food, beverages and entertainment.  Great, the people said and maybe it has been.  But I've dealt with unserviced airlines overseas where additional purchases at time of booking included - luggage, insurance, carbon offsetting, seating - "what", were my thoughts!  So, this slowly seaps in weighing down the the cost of a cheap airfare on an unserviced airline - remember, you still have to pay for food, beverages, entertainment, pillows and blankets.

So, whats happening now in this crazy world of flying is that a serviced airline such as British Airways are charging you to pay for a seating allocation - just advise your credit card number and your desired seating request.  I'm not sure if this move from the airlines is creative, desperate or simply just giving passengers options!
