Singapore Airlines is giving Filipino travelers another reason to turn their travel wish lists into actual plans with the launch of its Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair 2026.
The annual travel event officially kicked off on September 17, presenting promotional fares, travel privileges, and partner offers designed to give customers more opportunities to plan international trips in the coming months.
At the launch, Singapore Airlines Philippines General Manager Liwei Tai highlighted the airline’s continuing efforts to connect Filipino travelers to destinations around the world through its Singapore hub and Changi Airport.
The event placed the spotlight on the possibilities that come with international travel—from returning to favorite cities to finally visiting destinations that have long been on a traveler’s list.
For Filipino travelers, the appeal of the fair goes beyond finding a flight. With travel dates covered well into 2027, the promotion gives customers more time to think about when and where they want their next trip to happen.
A major part of the Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair is the selection of destinations covered by the promotional fares.
Among the destinations featured are Sydney, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Manchester, and Madrid, with passengers able to connect through Singapore.
Madrid is also highlighted as Singapore Airlines’ latest destination, adding another option for Filipino travelers looking toward Europe.
The range of destinations gives the travel fair a distinctly global feel. A traveler planning an Australian holiday, for example, can look at Sydney, while another preparing for a European adventure can consider cities such as Paris, London, Manchester, or Madrid.
For those looking toward the United States, Los Angeles is likewise part of the destinations featured in the promotional offers.
The common connection is Singapore, where travelers can continue their journey through Singapore Airlines’ hub at Changi Airport.
This network remains an important part of the airline’s offering to Filipino passengers, particularly those planning longer international journeys that require connections before reaching their final destination.
The 2026 edition also gives travelers a considerable period in which to use the promotional fares.
The promotional travel period runs from September 20, 2026 through August 31, 2027, allowing customers to plan trips across different seasons.
That extended window can accommodate different types of travel plans. Some customers may be preparing for upcoming holidays, while others may already be thinking about vacations months in advance.
The arrangement also gives travelers room to coordinate their schedules, accommodations, activities, and other details before departure.
The promotional fares are available during the designated booking period, with KrisFlyer and PPS Club members, including eligible EastWest Singapore Airlines KrisFlyer Mastercard cardholders, receiving early access from September 18 to 20.
Mastercard cardholders and other customers can access the promotional fares from September 21 to October 15, 2026.
Another component of the Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair is Singapore Airlines’ partnership with Mastercard.
Eligible cardholders can receive additional rewards and privileges depending on their qualifying purchases. These include dining or shopping gift certificates, hotel stay vouchers, and other travel-related benefits.
The partnership expands the fair beyond the flight itself.
For travelers, an international trip often involves several expenses after the plane ticket has been purchased. Accommodation, meals, shopping, transportation, and activities all become part of the overall travel budget.
The participating offers allow customers to explore additional benefits connected to those aspects of the journey.
The launch therefore presented the travel fair not simply as a chance to purchase discounted airfare, but as a broader opportunity to prepare for an upcoming trip.
Travel aspirations were very much at the heart of the launch.
The destinations featured by Singapore Airlines represent different kinds of travel experiences. Sydney can appeal to travelers looking for an Australian getaway, while Los Angeles offers access to one of the United States’ major entertainment and cultural centers.
In Europe, Paris, London, Manchester, and Madrid offer distinctly different destinations for travelers interested in history, culture, food, shopping, entertainment, or simply experiencing a new city.
For some Filipino travelers, these destinations may already be familiar. For others, they could represent the kind of international trip that has remained a long-term goal.
By offering travel dates extending into August 2027, the fair provides an opportunity to move those plans from the wish-list stage toward actual itinerary planning.
The Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair also brings together participating retail, lifestyle, and hospitality partners, adding offers related to shopping, dining, transportation, and accommodations.
These partnerships reflect the different parts of the travel experience that begin once a passenger leaves the airport.
A flight may be the first major booking, but the rest of the journey is made up of smaller decisions—where to stay, where to eat, how to get around, and what experiences to prioritize.
By bringing these elements into the travel fair, Singapore Airlines gives customers additional opportunities to plan around their international journey.
The launch also reinforces the role of Singapore as a key point in that journey. Through Changi Airport, passengers can connect onward to destinations beyond Singapore, making the hub an important part of Singapore Airlines’ global network.
The annual Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair has become an opportunity for travelers to look ahead rather than wait until the last minute.
This year’s edition continues that approach with a broad selection of destinations, promotional fares, loyalty-program access, Mastercard privileges, and partner offers.
For Filipino travelers, it means that an overseas trip can be planned with more lead time—whether it is a long-awaited holiday, a family trip, a business journey, or simply an opportunity to experience a new city.
The Singapore Airlines Time to Fly Virtual Travel Fair 2026 officially sets the stage for another year of international travel, bringing destinations across Australia, Europe, the United States, and beyond closer to Filipino passengers through the airline’s Singapore hub.
With the promotional period covering travel through August 2027, the launch leaves travelers with plenty of possibilities to consider.
For those who already have a destination in mind, the next step is straightforward: check the available fares, look at the travel dates, and start putting the rest of the journey together. (with reports from Jeanell Lopez)
