So Singapore airlines is going to have 14 first class suites, and an enhanced business class (also on their 777’s) on their A380 which will be plying the Sydney to Singapore route. That’s cool, and perhaps the quietness of the plane may tempt some of the corporate jet crowd back to commercial.
Luxury cabins, however, still do not solve for the increasing mess that is airport security and waiting time.
But what is very cool is the mere 2.9 litres per hundred passenger kilometres that the A380 consumes. That’s more efficient than my F650 motorcycle, which topped out at a staggering 3.3 l/100 km in Canada, North of the Arctic circle. Of course the motorcycle can carry two, but then again it cannot ride across oceans.

Seat and bed = suite.
no ensuite, but a better standard bathroom

over to where the business are slumming it:
big seats – the usual stuff:
big beds for big people (and egos).
Over to economy. There are a lot of seats, but those big screens are nice.
The seats look very slim.
and that is it. Videos and stuff on Singaporeair.com
