Singapore Airlines redefines First Class Luxury with Singapore Airlines Suites

Search ASIA Travel Tips .com Latest Travel News Monday, 15 October 2007

Unrivalled exclusivity and privacy await the privileged customers who fly Singapore Airlines’ newest cabin product, aboard the Airbus A380, the Singapore Airlines Suites.

The Singapore Airlines Suites feature a bold and unique cabin concept where each Suite is the customer’s private cabin in the sky. Behind its discrete sliding doors is a spacious and truly personal area, with lavish furnishing and finishes.

“Developed with our most valued and distinguished customers in mind, the concept of the Singapore Airlines Suites is nothing less than ground-breaking in the luxury travel market,” said Mr. Yap Kim Wah, Singapore Airlines’ Senior Vice President Product and Services. “Singapore Airlines Suites customers can look forward to a flight with an unprecedented level of personal space, in their very own private cabin in the sky. The exquisite new product offerings, together with the special service from our world-renowned cabin crew, will delight the most discerning of our customers.”

The new Singapore Airlines Suites were designed by leading French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste, whose designs cleverly utilise space to make the flight experience even more luxurious.

Elegantly furnished, each of the Singapore Airlines Suites opens up to a plush and luxurious leather seat. In a perfect marriage of classic style, ergonomics and technology, each seat is upholstered by world-renowned Poltrona Frau in the finest leather, with an elegant pumpkin finish.

The seat is fully adjustable, with a simple-to-use electronic control panel to accommodate a variety of sitting and lounging positions. For those who want to sleep, a full-sized flat bed, with plush mattress, is built into each individual Singapore Airlines Suite, and does not utilize the seat as part of the sleeping surface.

Lavish Givenchy-designed duvets and cushions help ensure customers can drift into peaceful and comfortable sleep. The intelligent design of the full flat bed not only offers customers the choice to rest in their preferred sleeping positions, but also allows them to sit or lounge in bed as they might in the comfort and privacy of their own home.

For customers who need to catch up on work on board, their Singapore Airlines Suite can be transformed into an office in the sky. Each Singapore Airlines Suite includes a chaise lounge for companion seating, ambient and mood lighting, luggage stowage space and a personal coat closet.

In addition to working in complete privacy, each Singapore Airlines Suite comes furnished with a generously wide and height-adjustable table which can function as a workstation, meeting table or large dining table. 

Customers with laptops can tap into the in-seat power supply, while customers with just a thumb-drive can also get work done by plugging into the USB ports and utilizing the comprehensive suite of office tools available on KrisWorld; Singapore Airlines’ inflight entertainment system.

With KrisWorld customers can sit back and be entertained, catching up on latest blockbusters, top-quality movies and TV programmes on the impressive 23-inch personal high-resolution widescreen LCD, mounted on the wall in each Suite. Or listen to a large selection of CDs on the accompanying premium headsets.

The new KrisWorld offers a wide selection of 100 movies, more than 180 TV programmes, a library of 700 music CDs, 3D games and more, with full audio and video on-demand. A new suite of office applications allows a customer to simply plug in a USB thumb-drive to save and edit files.

Along with the top of the range product offerings, customers can wine and dine on board as they would in a world-class restaurant, with the flexibility to choose when and what to eat.

Sumptuous gourmet offerings feature among a wide choice of meals, including those exclusively designed by top chefs on the Singapore Airlines International Culinary Panel, such as Gordon Ramsay (UK), Georges Blanc (France), Matt Moran (Australia) and Sam Leong (Singapore).

These meals are accompanied by a range of the best old world and new world wines, champagnes and spirits selected by Singapore Airlines’ panel of renowned wine experts.

The fine dining experience is further enhanced with the use of fine bone chinaware, full-sized crystal ware and silverware, also designed by French fashion house Givenchy.

Completing the luxurious experience is the exclusive Ferragamo amenity kit which will be presented to Singapore Airlines Suites customers on long haul flights. Exclusively available on the A380, the amenity kit features the latest fragrance, F by Salvatore Ferragamo, Ferragamo lip balm, hand cream and facial mist.
