Cape Town and Singapore Airlines

The popularity of Cape Town has been further underscored with the news that Singapore Airlines (SIA) will be increasing flight frequency to meet growing travel demand.

Cape Town will be served with a daily flight via Johannesburg, up from the current four flights per week, with effect from 26 March.  The additional flights will complement SIA’s current daily service to Johannesburg and operate as SQ478 (Singapore – Johannesburg – Cape Town) and SQ479 (Cape Town – Johannesburg – Singapore).

SIA will operate flights to Cape Town and Johannesburg using its Airbus A350-900 aircraft. The aircraft seats 253 customers in three classes, with 42 in Business Class, 24 in its relatively new Premium Economy Class and 187 in Economy Class.  Premium Economy seats have 38in pitch (compared to a 32in pitch in standard economy), at 18.5-19.5in wide with an 8in recline. They also feature a 13.3in high-definition touchscreen LCD monitor and a Book-the-Cook Service.  The airline has now completed the introduction of 21 Airbus A350 and awaits the delivery of its first Boeing 787 Dreamliner over the coming months.

Mike P, Cape Town and UK

Sad to say, but CPT does not need more tourists, specially now with the water crisis. The infrastructure cannot cope.
