The 5-star airline Singapore Airlines of Star Alliance is currently offering a nice deal for business class flights to “Down Under”. Departing from Paris, you can fly to Melbourne for as little as €2,299. The flight times are pretty good with only one layover being necessary. You can find availabilities until November 2022.
Australia reopened its borders to vaccinated tourists on February 21, 2022.
At Singapore Airlines, all flights can be rebooked once without a rebooking fee (up to March 31, 2022, several times). However, you have to pay the possible price difference. You can read the exact conditions here on Singapore Airlines’ website.
To book the flights, you can simply use our booking form. Simply select the desired travel dates and then click on the blue button. You will then be redirected to book directly on Singapore Airlines’ website. We have marked all available dates for trips of up to 30 days in green for you:
Singapore Airlines’ Business Class
Airbus A350 and Boeing 777 aircraft are used. In total, you will be on the road for about a day in each direction with a stop in Singapore.
If you fly in Singapore Airlines’ new business class, like Travel-Dealz founder Johannes, you’ll get a very convincing product, but even the older seats still offer high comfort. A notable aspect (especially with the older seats) is the width – the seats are extremely wide. Singapore Airlines’ main upside, however, is the service. The so-called Singapore Girls are really very friendly and attentive. The in-flight entertainment, however, is mediocre.
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, the fare will remain available until March 1, 2022 for travel between March and November. The minimum stay requirement is 7 days, and you can stay a maximum of 12 months.

Best Time to Visit
