I have always flown with budget airlines’ Airbus 320 types of plane but SIA was the first biggest plane i got on until today. It was back in 2010 when I went to Singapore; the experience was awesome.

These all-inclusive packages come with a roundtrip Economy Class ticket from Manila, Cebu or Davao via SIA or SilkAir (a full-service carrier); roundtrip airport transfers; two-night, twin-share hotel accommodation with daily breakfasts; selected tour or attraction; taxes and fuel surcharges.
