It was unveiled in Toulouse when Singapore took delivery of its first A380, which is outfitted with 12 of them. Actually the carrier claims that the suites are beyond First Class, which is true in at least one respect: They cost 20-25% more than First Class. The enclosed room is outfitted with a seat and a separate 27-inch by 78-inch stand-alone flat-bed that is made up by the cabin staff. The duvet and cushions are by Givenchy, and the 23-inch wide LCD is positioned so that it can be easily watched in bed. As for the seat, it is 39 inches wide with the armrest folded away and reclines to 130 degrees. The suite also contains a chaise lounge, an adjustable table, and USB ports. The A380, the first of 19, went into service on the Singapore-Sydney route in late October, with Singapore-Heathrow to follow next year. It also has 60 Business Class seats on the upper deck. A Singapore Airlines spokesperson said the new suites are “to First Class what Premium Economy is to standard coach.”
