Pandemic numbers have been easing up, which means restrictions are being eased and borders are opening. This also means more people can start travelling again, after being homebound for the past two years—which may be part of the reason a couple of videos from a former Singapore Airlines flight attendant are blowing up.
The ex-Singapore Airlines girl, who goes by @geiwosushi on TikTok, started with what drinks (alcoholic and otherwise) are available on flights. That video, which took up the “Tell me a company secret that you can share because you don’t work there anymore” challenge, has been viewed over 400,000 times since it was posted on March 25.
@geiwosushi #stitch with @princessanna Knowing the hidden drinks menu!! 🍻🍸🍷 what drinks can you order? Is it free? Do you need to pay? #singaporeairlines #fyp
@geiwosushi began by saying what she was about to spill wasn’t really a secret, but more of what beverages travellers are “entitled to” when flying SIA economy class.
Many are unaware of this, based on the number of questions she got when she still worked with the carrier.
Listing off the available alcohol on flights, she said, “There’s brandy, whiskey, bourbon, vodka, gin, rum, beer (usually Tiger), Bailey’s and Singapore sling.”
Flyers who prefer cocktails, or just want them on top of other drinks, can have Bloody Marys, screwdrivers, etc, as well.
If hot drinks float your boat, you can have coffee, tea (green and jasmine), milo. Hot milk can also be requested.
She then rattled off a number of soft drinks, including three types of coke, and emphatically added that for juices, not only apple and orange are available but also pineapple and tomato.
@geiwosushi also obligingly added what juices are not available.
Red and white wine is also offered, she then said and asked commenters to let her know what they want to know is free of charge on flights.
In part 2, @geiwosushi tackled free food options on SIA, first asking, however, for passengers to be considerate of the crew, who are not there “to serve you alone.”

The good news is that people can ask for second servings after everyone has been served.
And for people who always want to be served first, she whispered, “order a special meal,” before listing what exactly these meals are.
Showing a photo of a typical SIA meal tray, she added that if a passenger still isn’t full, they can ask for snacks.
@geiwosushi even uploaded a side-by-side comparison of what snacks are offered on short and long flights, taking out all the guesswork of what one can expect to eat.
Oh! And people celebrating birthdays, anniversaries or are on their honeymoon can ask for a cake, and they’ll be given one! But they have to do it before boarding, as the crew can’t be expected to bake a cake mid-flight.
She added that she might be open to doing another TikTok video on amenities… but also added that “the crew are gonna’ kill me.” /TISG
