Singapore Airlines to Provide Pyjamas in Business Class Plus New Amenity Kits in All Cabins
Singapore Airlines will finally introduce pyjamas in Business Class from November, along with new luxury amenity kits.
Business
The new Business Class pyjamas come in navy blue, made from comfortable poly-cotton fabric, with a relaxed fit in two sizes, plus grey slippers. They will be provided on long-haul flights, including selected overnight medium-haul services of more than six hours.
Swedish luxury brand BYREDO is replacing Penhaligon’s. The new pouches include its Blanche range, with Eau de Parfum, hand cream and lip balm. It also includes eye shades, socks, and a dental kit.
First and Suites
First and Suites are also getting improved sleepwear. The new dark grey pyjamas are 100% cotton and come in four sizes, with subtle detailing inspired by Singapore Airlines’ batik motif. The new coral fleece slippers have extra padding for better cushioning.
New kits from French luxury skincare brand SISLEY are replacing Lalique and include:
- Men: Sisleÿum Anti-Age Mattifying Gel-Cream, L’Eau Rêvée d’Alma fragrance, Ecological Compound, All Day All Year Essential Anti-Aging Protection, Nutritive Lip Balm and Restorative Hand Cream.
- Women: Sisleÿa L’Intégral Anti-Age Cream, Eye and Lip Contour Cream, Essential Skin Care Lotion, L’Eau Rêvée d’Eliya fragrance, Black Rose Cream Mask and Restorative Hand Cream.
Young travellers in Suites, First Class and Business Class on flights longer than five hours can receive the latest collectable Beary soft toy.
Changes in other cabins include:
- Premium Economy: A new zip pouch containing white tea-scented lip balm from Australian personal-care brand INK & WATER alongside eye shades, socks and a dental kit.
- Economy: A collectable drawstring pouch containing eye shades, socks and a dental kit.
The changes will be introduced progressively from November, so everything will not be available immediately. These are some very welcome improvements!
Double Avios On All 2027 Royal Caribbean Sailings
If you’re considering a cruise next year, it’s worth looking at what’s available with Royal Caribbean. Book your 2027 sailing by 28th October to earn 6 Avios per £1, up from the usual 3. The offer only applies to Balcony or Suite bookings. Interior and Ocean View cabins will not earn Avios.
You can earn on the full cruise fare, including taxes and charges, but extras such as drinks packages and excursions are excluded.
For example, if you book a 7-night cruise in a Balcony cabin for £6,000 (eligible spend), you’ll collect 36,000 Avios. That’s a substantial number from a single booking, particularly if you’re already planning a cruise.
If you pay with an Avios-earning credit card or a card that lets you convert points to Avios, you can also earn extra. At 1.5 Avios per £1, that would add another 9,000 Avios, pushing your earnings up to 45,000 Avios.
RC are also running an offer of £600 off, or £75 on shorter sailings, and you can combine the offer with Crown & Anchor discounts.
To collect your Avios, book directly with Royal Caribbean online or via its call centre and provide your British Airways Club number. You can also opt to credit your Avios to Iberia Club, AerClub or Vueling Club.
You’ll receive your Avios within 28 days of completing your cruise, but bonus Avios can take up to 60 days to credit. Keep in mind there’s a maximum of 100,000 Avios per booking.
In 2027, Royal Caribbean has plenty of Southampton departures, from short breaks to Bruges to longer cruises around Norway, Spain and Portugal, and even transatlantic sailings to Miami. The offer also covers departures worldwide.
