How to Book the Cook with Singapore Airlines

Singapore Airlines is widely heralded as one of the world’s best airlines. The airline boasts a Skytrax five-star rating, routinely takes home World’s Best Airline awards, and most importantly, has fostered a reputation for consistently delivering a high-quality flight experience across both the hard and soft products.

One of the main perks that Singapore Airlines offers for its premium passengers is the Book the Cook service, which allows customers in First Class, business class, and premium economy to choose their meals in advance from a much wider selection than the regular in-flight menu.

Let’s go over the Book the Cook service in detail, so you can enjoy your own customized gourmet meals onboard your next Singapore Airlines flight.

And lastly, Book the Cook is available to premium economy passengers flying out of the following cities:

Therefore, although many of Singapore Airlines’s destinations (such as Bali, Hanoi, Osaka, or Istanbul) are not listed above, you can Book the Cook if you’re on a flight from Singapore to those airports, but not if you’re booked in the opposite direction.

That makes perfect sense, since serving Book the Cook meals onboard flights departing out of Singapore is simply a matter of transporting the meal from the kitchen and loading it onboard the aircraft.

On flights departing from an outstation, the meal would have to be either prepared onsite or loaded on the preceding flight out from Singapore – both of which require significantly more work to prepare.

That also explains why the range of meal selection is vastly superior on flights out of Singapore.
