Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, Star Alliance member Singapore Airlines was forced to consolidate and change their flight plan, for example adding a technical stop in Copenhagen on all flights between Singapore and Rome. Luckily, the airline is allowed to sell tickets for trips between the European cities, giving you the chance to experience a modern widebody aircraft at a much lower price than usual.
Our availability calendar shows you all possible flight dates at the lowest fare for trips up to 21 days.
Singapore Airlines uses an Airbus A350 to fly this route, originally arriving from Singapore just hours before leaving Copenhagen again. Our editor Peer took the flight himself, you can read his review here:
Search & Book
According to the fare rules, these tickets are on sale for this price until December 16, 2021. A minimum stay of two days applies. Singapore Airline will resume nonstop services between Singapore and Rome in April 2022, terminating the Copenhagen – Rome flight in the process.
You can find additional flight dates on Google Flights. You can buy them directly on Singapore Airlines’ website or €10-€20 cheaper from online travel agencies via our flight search.
Why is booking with an airline better than with an online travel agency?
More often than not, online travel agencies offer lower fares than airlines do. We still recommend booking with the airlines directly. There are two main reasons for that:
Better Customer Service
In case any problems like delays, cancellations or missed connections arise, you can communicate directly with the airline. The airline has to take care of you because you have a contract with them.
If a travel agency issues your ticket, you may have to reach out to them first. You also depend on your OTA to forward information like flight changes instead of receiving them directly from the airline. In many cases, you may get a prime exhibition of responsibility shifting rather than problem-solving.
This especially applies to premium tickets. You don’t want to spend more than €1,000 to wind up with some budget OTA’s telephone hotline in case anything goes wrong.
Baggage and Other Fees
Economy fares not including hold luggage are industry standard by now. In most cases, travel agencies charge much higher baggage fees than the airlines themselves. If bags are not included in your fare, airlines are often the cheaper alternative.
This also applies to other things like food services, insurances or priority treatment. In almost all cases, you pay less for additional amenities when booking on the airlines’ website.
Mileage
Singapore Airlines issues these tickets in booking class K, giving you the opportunity to earn the following mileage:
- 956 Points on SAS EuroBonus
- 956 Miles on Singapore KrisFlyer
- 500 Award Miles + 120 Points on Miles&More
