Luxury Air Travel Redefined

 

The delivery of the Airbus A380 to Singapore Airlines marks a new exciting milestone in modern commercial aviation. With a new body, new engines and fresh concept cabin interiors, the A380 in a word, redefines in-flight luxury travel. Soon, this new aircraft will replace the aging B747-400s that have been the staple flagship aircraft of almost all major carriers in the world for years.

First Class Suites 

The history of air travel is witnessing the pinnacle of spacious exclusivity and luxury of first class travel. The new concept of private first class suites afforded by the spacious cabin interiors of the A380 sets the new trend of traveling first class.

Said to be the ultimate in premium air travel, these first class suites offer the widest fully adjustable seats that can fold out as totally flat beds. It is controlled by simple electronics in the complete privacy of a cabin similar to that in train coaches. Singapore Airlines advertises it as "Beyond First Class." Each cabin has a sliding door to lock your personal area lavished with leather seats and amenities to make your travel a truly grand experience in the air.

In addition, each first class suite has a generous height-adjustable wide table that you can use for your laptops or even act as a meeting or dining table. They each have a lounging companion seat, mood and ambient lighting control, extra carry-on stowage space and a coat closet.

And for passengers who need to do some office work, each suite comes with in-seat power outlets for your laptops and USB ports to access a centralized set of office tools onboard. For most passengers who want to be entertained, the suite has 23" high resolution widescreen video displays mounted on the wall of your suite for you to enjoy your favorite shows from a selection of 100 movie titles and 180 TV programs. Of course, it has your standard CD player as well with each flight having a library of 700 CD music titles at your disposal.

The In-flight Gourmet Experience 

The A380 gourmet experience takes that to a higher level with a range of meals prepared by a culinary staff by the caterers of Singapore Airlines. You have a range of the best wines and beverages, champagnes and spirits selected by the Airlines' culinary panel of world-class wine experts. The fine dining gourmet experience isn't complete without the use of exclusive fine bone chinaware, crystal ware and silverware from Givenchy.

In-flight Amenities 

Complementing the luxurious experience are Ferragamo amenity kits given to passengers on long haul flights. Exclusive on the A380, the kit contains the fragrance F by Ferragamo as well as Ferragamo hand cream, lip balm and facial mist.

Business and Economy Class 

The spacious interiors of the A380 allowed Singapore Airlines to put in the widest Business and economy class seats of any airline today. Business class seats can unfold to full-flat beds that very few airlines have. Economy seats are likewise wider than what you can find in older aircraft, with greater legroom, knee-room and elbow space.

A passenger lounge is available for business class passengers where they can socialize and enjoy finger food snacks during the flight. And for all classes, brighter more spacious lavatories come standard in all A380 flights.

Just as radical as it looks, the A380 promises to deliver unparalleled in-flight traveling experience giving passengers on any class of service a totally new dimension in space and luxury. Traveling by air just got a new boost that has upped the ante, as it were, for airliners to follow. Passengers now have more reasons to travel by air.
