Our membership of the Singapore Airlines loyalty programme and airmiles, Krisflyer, has been extended for another year. The planes are still flying. Although with a reduced service.
Who is still flying? Students returning home at the end of their courses. Workers whose contracts have ended. People who lost jobs and are returning home to live with the family. People returning for funerals. To attend a wedding or get married. Those giving birth who want to give birth in their home country with mother nearby and the family to support and babysit.
When we went to London the plane was half empty. The back part contained through travellers from Australia to the UK.
They were not allowed to mix with those of us who boarded in Singapore. They had separate seating. They were kept apart from us at the airport.
But for most of us in Singapore, travel is increasingly costly, stressful and uncertain.
So the extension of our membeship is welcome. We still have a credit towards booking a fare.
