One of the fifth freedom flights most used by Italian travelers is definitely the Singapore Airlines connection between Milan Malpensa and Barcelona.
The flight was activated post covid, a way for the Asian company to reactivate the connection to Barcelona. As of January 2022, the A350s arriving from Singapore, after a technical stopover, set off again toward Catalonia, just as it was also flying A second fifth-freedom flight from Rome to Copenhagen.
Last year, the company reactivated direct connections, and nonstop, between Barcelona and the world's best airport. Nevertheless, some routes continued to be operated with passage via Malpensa.
Starting next June 2, Singapore will fly again to Barcelona with two direct connections per week, at the same time the weekly flights between Milan and El Prat Airport will increase from 5 to 3.
The flight will be operated on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays with return on the same days to Malpensa before departing back to Singapore.
Many Italian frequent flyers took advantage of the connection between the two European cities to take advantage of the proposed Of status match between the Krisflyer and Bonvoy loyalty programs.
So many travelers, however, have especially taken advantage of the opportunity to fly in a wide-body aircraft, equipped with every option imaginable, for a flight that all the other airlines do with smaller A320s and B737s, and sometimes even smaller. At a decidedly competitive price. Singapore in fact allows you to fly in one of three classes, economy, premium and business with absolutely competitive fares compared to even low-cost airlines flying the same route.
