Rygterne har svirret længe, men nu er det så officielt – Singapore Airlines introducerer nye kabiner på de 5 stk. Airbus A380 der leveres de næste par år, og senere vil de eksisterende 14 stk. A380 blive bygget om.
Singapore Airlines var de første der introducerede dobbeltsenge i luften, og der var derfor store forventninger til om de ville komme med noget revolutionerende, ikke mindst for at konkurrere med eks. Etihad First Class Apartment.
Var det så noget revolutionerende de introducerede? Lad os starte med at se Singapore Airlines egen video om de nye produkter:
Det mest imponerende er jo nok First Class eller Suites Class som SQ kalder det… Her er Singapore Airlines egen beskrivelse af den nye Suites Class:
With six Suites tucked spaciously within the front cabin of the upper deck, customers will experience a sense of exclusivity and intimate privacy aboard the A380.
Behind its artistically-designed sliding door lies a personal oasis complete with lavish furnishing and finishes. Each Suite is furnished with a separate full-flat bed with adjustable recline and plush leather chair, enabling customers to lounge comfortably in the chair or rest in bed without the need to convert the bed from a sitting position. For couples travelling together, the beds in the first two Suites of each aisle can be converted to form a double bed. When not in use, the bed can be stowed completely, creating even more personal space within each Suite.
Each seat is upholstered by world-renowned Poltrona Frau in fine leather, and is fully adjustable using an electronic control side panel which can accommodate a variety of sitting and lounging positions. The swivel capability of the chair (between 135 and 270 degrees) with recline up to 45 degrees provides added flexibility for dining and relaxation.
Each Suite also has a 32-inch full HD monitor that can swivel for the different viewing angles in seat and bed modes, a full-sized personal wardrobe, customised handbag stowage compartment, amenity box lined with soft leather, specially designed carpet and a feature wall with mood lighting – all exquisitely crafted to give a touch of luxury and intimacy.
The exclusivity of the Suites cabin is further accentuated by its two stylishly-furnished lavatories, one of which has a sit-down vanity counter.
The new Suites were designed by Pierrejean Design Studio and manufactured by Zodiac Seats UK.

Række 1 & 2 kan laves om til en dobbeltseng:
Er det bare mig, eller ligner sædet ikke lidt et tandlægestol der står midt i det hele?
Modsat eks. Emirates, har SQ valgt ikke at tilbyde bad ombord… Det er nu ellers en speciel oplevelse at tage et brusebad i 10kms højde med 1000 km/t 🙂 Se mere om dette i indlægget omkring en af mine ture på Emirates First Class.
Det ryger på listen over ting der skal prøves! 🙂
