Jumpseat on SIA?

[*GreasedItOn*]

Whats the jumpseat policy for Singapore Airlines?
I'm flying out of Perth on the 9th June and am keen to spend the trip up front if possible.
Should I contact the Perth offices before I leave, request it once aboard?? Any feedback appreciated :)

There is no such thing as jumpseat on Singapore Airlines. It is possible to ride in the jumpseat but you need a ticket just like a passenger.

The jumpseat is not available to Singapore Airlines pilots either.

May I suggest Atlas Air(wonderful experience) or JAL/IASCO freight.

The jump-seat policy in SIA is much the same to-day as ten years ago, Captain's discretion, to employees and this can include employees from other carriers if they have sought permission from the airline.
As Gladiator says, a ticket is required.
Recently cockpit visits have been very much curtailed and exclude passengers, this is a security measure. Sorry, not much chance I would think.

Thanks for replying,
I do have a ticket already, I'm going to Singapore on Hols, just trying to get upfront. Malaysian let me 2yrs ago because the flight attendant let the Capt know I was a pilot. Guess I'll try the same with SIA and keep my fingers crossed

Hey greasediton, usually it depends on the Kapitan's mood. But from past experience it's been pretty much okay. Chances are you'll get a jumpseat for landing but not the T/O. Good luck and enjoy!
