There is no reason to take off and burn fuel and wear and tear on the aircraft. They can do it on the ground. You can (after covid lets up) enjoy a 1970's Pan Am 747 dinner show in Los Angeles. Singapore is a great airline with top notch service, but I think they learned a lot from the Pan Am cabin crews.
What a great concept - One-way air tours. A parked/pickled airplane requires its engines and hydraulics to be periodically run and exercised anyway, so why not employ a few and offer an air-tour.
Stupid idea amd a waste of fuel and resources.
