The service is limited to flights above 1.5 hours of flight time and to meal services other than Continental Breakfast and Refreshment. [1] Book the Cook covers the main course only. [1] Availability and dish options may vary by flight, so Singapore Airlines directs passengers to Manage Booking to check the specific offerings and availability on their flight. [1]
How do you pre-order a Book the Cook meal?
For passengers travelling from 1 December 2025, Singapore Airlines allows a Book the Cook main course to be pre-ordered from six weeks before departure and up to 24 hours before departure. [1] The choice applies to the main course, not to the whole tray of courses. [1] Passengers check Manage Booking for the dishes available on their particular flight. [1]
If a passenger selects a meatless main course, other courses such as appetisers or desserts may contain meat or animal by-products. [1] For special dietary requirements, Singapore Airlines recommends choosing from its Special Meals range instead. [1] On rare occasions, a pre-ordered main course may not be available at the last minute. [1]
