Star Alliance member Singapore Airlines currently offers nonstop business class flights from New York to Frankfurt starting at US$2,258 (~€2,119). This fare includes two checked bags weighing 32 kilograms each.
Our availability calendar highlights all possible flight dates at the lowest price for trips up to 28 days. It will forward you to Skyscanner, which presents you with several booking options. We strongly recommend booking directly with the airline.
You would fly Singapore Airlines Boeing 777s, which have a 1-2-1 configuration in business class.
If you fly in Singapore Airlines’ new business class, like Travel-Dealz founder Johannes, you’ll get a very convincing product, but even the older seats still offer high comfort. A notable aspect (especially with the older seats) is the width – the seats are extremely wide. Singapore Airlines’ main upside, however, is the service. The so-called Singapore Girls are really very friendly and attentive. The in-flight entertainment, however, is mediocre.
Search & Book
The fare rules don’t specify an expiration date. There is a Saturday night minimum stay and a 6-month maximum stay. There is good availability from August to November 2023 and even better availability from January 2024 onwards.
You can use our calendar above to find availabilities. Once you selected your preferred dates, it will forward you to Singapore Airlines’ website. We strongly recommend booking on the airline’s website. You can also use Google Flights (instructions) to set filters and then you can use our Go2 browser extension to book your flights.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
