801-805 of 805
tanglinboy.. yah the plane itself is just a huge bird in the sky...and there is only one, for the moment.
It's potential lies in long haul and being very very fuel efficient.. it can be deployed for cross pacific the day when Australia opens their sky.. ie Sin- Australia-USA lucrative route.. and Sin-London-USA when SIA decides to buy a landing lot in Heathrow... Besides, think SIA did a good job wielding its power over Airbus to be the first in the world to get a A380 delivery... Many other rich airlines esp those in the middleeast countries can easily throw $$ to get this privilge but it was given to SIA
so guess the fuss is the prestige that comes with first to fly (typical singaporean mentality to want to be first)
Actually hor... I see the A380 as a very big plane that's all. Dunno what the fuss is about....
SIA up the ante yet again for luxurious travel. This is ultimate comfort in the sky... unbelievable.. well not that I can afford.. think it bodes well with the affluents... and SIA's bottomline when more of these jumbo jets are in service down the road... I have once heard that airlines need only a few 1st class passengers to make the flight worth it... not sure if it is true?
Singapore Airlines Suites

'Beyond the luxury of first class, the Singapore Airlines Suites is in a league of its own in terms of privacy, luxury and personal space. The new Singapore Airlines Suites have been designed by leading French luxury yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste of Coste Design and manufactured by Jamco Corporation of Japan and Sicma Aero Seat of France. The seat in each Singapore Airlines Suite is almost a metre wide (with armrest folded away) and is fully adjustable with a simple-to-use seat control panel to accommodate a variety of sitting and lounging positions. |
When the customer is ready to sleep, the cabin crew will make up a full-sized bed with a plush mattress. A lavish duvet and cushions, designed by French fashion house, Givenchy, furnish this comfortable bed.
|
The bed is designed separately into each Suite, and does not convert from the seat itself. Using separate sleeping and sitting surfaces, the intelligent design of the full flat bed offers customers the choice to rest in their preferred sleeping positions, and also allows them to sit and lounge in bed to read or catch movies on their personal 58-centimetre (23-inch) personal widescreen LCD. For couples traveling, the beds in the middle two seats can be converted to an optional double bed. |
