Singapore Airlines Mahjong Set Now Selling For Cheapest Price Yet
In the thick of the Covid-19 pandemic, when most of us couldn’t travel, Singapore Airlines (SIA) remained in our thoughts when they launched a mahjong set.
The beautiful product ensured we could have a memento of our cherished local brand even when we couldn’t sit in their planes. However, it was a bit on the pricey side.
Now that we’re back travelling with a vengeance, the SIA mahjong set is also back and at its cheapest price yet — S$194.

It’s available only in the limited-edition green colour.
Singapore Airlines mahjong set previously sold in 2021
According to the listing on SIA’s KrisShop, the mahjong set on sale is similar to the one they sold in December 2021.
That means the tiles each have a glossy, clear backing with the SIA logo stamped on it and the signature SIA batik motif in green as the centre.
The designs of the suits, honours and flowers are also travel-inspired, e.g. a plane for one bamboo and a suitcase to represent 白板 (white board).

The set includes chips and translucent gold dice with glitter, enclosed in a matching green case with embossed batik imprints.

1st mahjong set cost S$338
At S$194, the current price is a comparative steal, especially since the first mahjong set, launched by SIA in December 2020, cost S$338.
Some may recall that this limited-edition set was blue but had the same batik-inspired design.

It also had a matching navy blue case with tiles, chips, dice and marker.
Unsurprisingly, this set sold out quickly.
Mahjong set returned three more times
A year later, in December 2021, the green version of the mahjong set made its debut.
At the time, its price of S$388 was higher than the blue one, but it was snapped up anyway.

Half a year after that, in June 2022, the green mahjong set returned at the discounted price of S$271.60.
Thus, its latest comeback is the 4th time SIA has released a mahjong set for sale.
And at S$194, it’s selling for its lowest price yet.
Members of KrisFlyer, SIA’s frequent flyer programme, may also get it for 24,250 miles.
Cheaper than Carousell
The current price is not only half the initial price of the green set but also cheaper than the sets sold over Carousell.
A check on the online marketplace showed several listings for the green set.
However, its lowest selling price was S$210 in two listings.

Thus, if you’ve always been eyeing the set for yourself or as a gift, now could be the time to finally splurge.
