Singapore airlines have launched their version of the lie-flat standard business class.
It is insane – not only lie flat, but look at the size of that seat! It seems to be begging for two people to sleep in it…
The bed itself does not seem that wide at the top – it appears that you flip the seat somehow, and your legs get all that juicy width while your head is constrained…
It is all very cool, but it worries me that airlines are spending too much on setting up their business class. Just let me lie flat and I am happy – I do not care if the chair is the size of a lounge suite, or if the meals are from Paris and the linen by Giorgio of Piacenza. I’d rather have a narrow, horizontal bed and a cheaper fare. Save the fat seats for the first class.
