I had to laugh....sorry!! Not only are (alcoholic) drinks free on SQ, you are likely to get the drink in your hand within 5-10 minutes of pressing the call button...this is economy class that I'm talking about

lol your talking about a legacy global premier 5 star airline of the world. if memory serves me right, SQ was the first airline to offer free drinks i.e Alcohol and soft drinks. SIA's philosophy was that once a person pays for their ticket, they should not pay for anything onboard.

Except for Emex seats...

I travelled Business, so it might be different, but not only are the drinks free - the glasses are never empty for more than 30-seconds. I couldn't believe it, the little hosties were making me drunk (I was always happy to oblige to, yet, another red when asked!).

I've never even had service like this in restaurants where it costs $200 to just sit down for a meal... my God: I want to fly Singapore again just to experience the service... and I hate flying!!

I really don't think so.

I thought it might make some of you laugh that's why I put it "might seem like a silly question".

I have read the posts on this forum and it is obvious alot of you are seasoned travellers unlike myself. You have all been very kind with your advice and it has helped me a great deal. Thank you one and all!

Your question sounded like someone whose previous flying experience was only on domestic US. Of course, you could also have been someone who only flew budgets before.

I really don't think so.

um actually i was right, i just went back to re-read "Flying High in a Competitive Industry: Cost-Effective Service Excellence at Singapore Airlines" and it clearly states in one of the chapters that "Free drinks" was one of SIA's innovations.
