Important
Dietary Restrictions If you select a vegetarian Book the Cook meal, appetiser and dessert may still contain animal products. For strict dietary requirements, use Special Meals instead of Book the Cook.
Main course only – appetisers and desserts remain standard service
Route variations – larger hubs offer more extensive selections, smaller cities may have limited options
Availability Issues – your chosen meal may not be available on rare occasions due to catering issues. Singapore Airlines will provide an alternative option.
Is Book the Cook Worth It?
When It’s Most Valuable
Long-haul flights (8+ hours) where meal quality significantly impacts experience
Flying from Singapore or major hubs with extensive selection
You have specific cuisine preferences beyond standard airline meals
Premium cabin passengers wanting enhanced dining experience
When Standard Service May Suffice
Short flights under 4 hours
Departing from smaller cities with limited selection
No strong cuisine preferences
Strict dietary restrictions (special meals may be better option)
Bottom Line
Book the Cook elevates your Singapore Airlines experience from standard airline dining to restaurant-quality meals.
It’s complimentary and genuinely improves flight experience on longer routes.
For strict dietary requirements, consider special meals instead as Book the Cook focuses on cuisine preferences.
FAQs
How far in advance can I book the cook on Singapore Airlines?
Book the Cook selections can be made up to 24 hours before departure (48 hours for Auckland flights) through the Singapore Airlines website.
What if my dietary restrictions are strict?
Use Singapore Airlines’ special meals service instead. Book the Cook is designed for cuisine preferences rather than medical or religious dietary needs.
