Singapore Airlines releases biz-clas Early Bird fares

Business travellers looking to book their flights with Singapore Airlines sooner rather than later can grab an 'Early Bird' discount if they move quick. While final bookings and payment must be made by  October 31st the flights fall between March 1st and September 30th 2011, and depart from Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide and Perth.

To whet your appetite, here's a sampling of the discounted business class return fares:

- London from $7418

- Munich from $7184

- Osaka from $4390

- Tokyo Haneda from $4389

Cut-price rates are also available for economy class flights to  a wider range of destinations. Those heading to the Middle East in particular will find far more options if they’re willing to fly economy. At the other end of the spectrum, only a few price reductions are on offer in first class.

If you're off to Europe or Japan your Singapore stopover includes one free night's accommodation. The hotel corresponds to your ticket class: business class travellers can bed down at the Carlton, Park Hotel Clark Quay, Rendezvous or Studio M. The free stay is only for twin share tickets, however, with a 'single supplement' surcharge applying to solo flyers.
