Here’s a pretty fantastic offer.
From now till 30 June 2020, Singapore Airlines is making its entire library of e-publications available to all KrisFlyer members for free. These titles were previously only available 48 hours before and up to 7 days after a flight.
The library features more than 150 international newspapers and magazines, including some which are normally hidden behind paywalls like The Washington Post and The New Yorker.
Access is free until 30 June 2020, after which you won’t be able to download any new publications, but can enjoy the ones that have already been saved to your SingaporeAir mobile library.
How do I access the e-publications?
To access the library, open the KrisFlyer app on your phone (or tablet, for a better reading experience).
Tap on the “More” tab at the bottom right, and select “e-Library”. You’ll then be able to browse and download the titles of your choice.
What titles are available?
There’s a very comprehensive selection of magazines and newspapers available, which can help you save on a couple months’ subscription for publications which are normally behind paywalls.

There’s no limit on the maximum number of titles you can download (except your storage space), so go crazy.
Conclusion
A very nice gesture from Singapore Airlines, which makes a wide selection of reading material available to everyone with the app.
It’s no substitute for being offered a range of magazines in a tray before takeoff, but it’ll do.
RIP SPH subscriptions
Hard copies of newspapers and magazines will never return to the cabin.
no they wonโt, and maybe thatโs not a bad thing? i wonder how many people have touched them + adds to fuel burn
looks like they terminated this free access early. just checked on chat with their cso.
