SIA Extends YVR Services Into 2024

Singapore Airlines has announced a further extension of its services between Vancouver and Singapore, effective immediately.

Singapore Airlines will operate non-stop flights from Vancouver to Singapore throughout 2023 and into 2024. Flights are available and open for sale on all the GDS platforms.

This is a further extension of the SIA schedule from Vancouver that was announced earlier in the summer. At that time, the schedule was upgraded from a seasonal status to year-round services into 2023. Flights depart Vancouver on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

The flights will continue to operate with a 253-seat Airbus A350-900 with 42 business class seats, 24 premium economy seats and 187 economy class seats. Business class seats feature a 1-2-1 layout, with direct aisle access for all passengers. The premium economy cabin is arranged in a 2-4-2 configuration and features amenities like active noise-cancellation headphones and oversized personal entertainment monitors at each seat.

The airline says it has precautionary measures in place to ensure health and safety of its passengers throughout the journey.

In partnership with Air Canada, Singapore Airlines offers through-fares from a variety of cities across Canada to connect passengers through YVR as well as EWR, SFO, LAX, LHR and FRA, to over 70 SIA destinations worldwide.

There is still time for agents to enter a Book to Win contest at DiscoverSingaporeThailand.com. They will also get the latest tourism destination information on Singapore and Thailand while visiting the site. The contest is in effect until Sept. 26, 2022.

By booking tickets on SIA, agents earn entries to the contest, which offers a trip to Singapore for two as the grand prize. For example, by selling/registering a Singapore Airlines business class ticket, they will earn 20 entries; similarly, they will get 10 entries for each premium economy class ticket, and five entries for each economy class ticket.

The grand prize is a flight for two in premium economy class seats on Singapore Airlines to Thailand. The prize includes a $1,000 Visa gift card for spending while there.
