TK reduces its meal service. Will SQ do the same?
An american/german blogger wrote on TK reducing its J meal service to cold meal boxes on flights more than 8 hours.
Will SQ follow suit?
I go for the hard product (especially bed) when flying J/F. But... replacing hot meals to cold meal boxes on long haul is just low.
Whether using covid-19 as an excuse or not as the "new normal" is also low.
Hopefully SQ won't go to this extend as it's "new normal" slogan. Or at least lower service lower ticket price offerings?

There’s always a way to protect crew and passengers without scrimping on meals. Miserable bottle of water for TK flights below 2 hours yells of cheapness.
SQ will do what its closest regional competitor CX does - which hasn’t reduced meals, only the way that they are served.

Interesting how struggling and desperate companies use covid-19 as a reason for everything.
Cheap soft product offering in premium cabin is fine as long as airlines offer cheap prices to reflect on it too.
Pretty much gone are the days for business travel for now.

I would assume this would be the video version of your trip report?

In the case of my London to Singapore flight alcohol wasn't served in any classes - there was a notice to that effect at check in.
