SIA customers can now book Grab rides through the
SingaporeAir mobile app
Singapore Airlines
(SIA) and Grab today announced a partnership to provide customers with more
seamless travel experiences. SIA and Grab will integrate their mobile apps to
offer enhanced convenience to customers when travelling to the airport in six
countries across Southeast Asia, including Indonesia, Malaysia, the
Philippines, Singapore, Thailand and Vietnam. This marks the coming together of
the world's most awarded airline and Southeast Asia's leading ride-hailing and
payments platform.
Starting today, SIA customers
can book Grab rides through the SingaporeAir mobile app. Customers using the
app will see an option to book a Grab ride to the airport seven days before
their scheduled flight. Selecting this option will direct customers to the Grab
app, where they can choose to order a Grab ride to the airport on-demand or in
advance. The airport will be automatically listed as the destination, so the
user simply fills in the pick-up point and desired time. In addition, the first
5,000 customers will receive GrabPay Credits worth $10 in their Grab account
for bookings made through the SingaporeAir mobile app for Grab rides in
Singapore.
Members of SIAs KrisFlyer and
Grabs GrabRewards programmes will enjoy additional benefits under the
partnership. GrabRewards members have the flexibility to convert their
GrabRewards points into KrisFlyer miles.
Customers also stand a chance to
win a pair of Business Class tickets to Hong Kong in a contest. To take part,
customers simply have to enter the code GRABSQ in the promo field in the Grab
app booking screen for every Grab ride they take between 9 October and 9
November 2017. The customer with the most Grab rides booked during this period
will win.
"We are thrilled to bring more
convenience to our customers on the ground and in the air through our new
partnership with Grab, while also offering KrisFlyer and GrabRewards members
the opportunity to convert points to miles and redeem them for award flights or
flight upgrades. We are constantly seeking to enhance our SingaporeAir mobile
app and KrisFlyer programme to ensure that we provide more benefits to our
customers," said SIA Senior Vice President Sales & Marketing, Mr Campbell
Wilson.
Commenting on the partnership,
Mr Jason Thompson, Head of GrabPay said: "Grab is honoured to serve as
Singapore Airlines land transport partner in Southeast Asia. We have a shared
commitment to innovation and delivering safe and high-quality travel
experiences to passengers. At the same time, we are constantly making the Grab
platform more rewarding for our customers. With GrabRewards, a dollar spent on
Grab is more valuable than a dollar spent in cash. By integrating Grabs and
SIAs loyalty programmes, customers can look forward to using their points when
they plan for their next holiday. This partnership is a significant recognition
by one of the most prestigious airlines in the world and Im incredibly excited
about what were going to achieve together."
Singapore
Airlines operates services to over 60 destinations in more than 30 countries on
five continents worldwide. Grab today is in more than 100 cities across seven
countries including Singapore, Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Thailand,
Vietnam and Myanmar.
