Singapore Airlines plans lie-flat business class for Brisbane

Recommended Posts

Singapore Airlines expects to upgrade one of its Brisbane flights to feature the latest lie-flat business class seats in 2016 and adding a fifth daily flight between Sydney and Singapore.


The Star Alliance member and Virgin Australia partner is also considering adding a new flight into Melbourne.


But it’s Brisbane's business travellers who stand to gain the most from Singapore Airlines' focus on the Australian market, with the out-dated and uncomfortable angled beds of SQ’s Airbus A330s (below) being swapped for a Boeing 777 featuring fully-flat beds.

I won't go so far as saying the angled seats are uncomfortable. They are some of the better J regional seats that FSC have.

They're fine for day flights, but not on a 7hr overnight flight.

Oh, agreed. Overnight flight...that is pushing it. SQ most probably are now working on new gen regional flights. Hopefully.

Singapore Airlines Ltd., the first carrier to put a double bed in its cabins, is spending $850 million to refit all its Airbus SE A380 jets to take airborne luxury up another notch.
The airline on Thursday unveiled its first major overhaul across cabin classes of its Airbus SE A380s since 2007, when it became the first carrier to fly the double-decker aircraft. For the most premiere of its customers, Singapore Air has cut the number of Suites to six from 12, allowing additional space and frills such as a separate, fully adjustable seat with leather upholstery by Italy’s Poltrona Frau, as well as double bathrooms, one of which has a sit-down vanity counter.

If that vanity counter is to be used as intended, you're effectively back to a single loo :)

hahaha. I think the intention was really to say there are two bathrooms for the F cabin, not bathrooms with two WCs in each of them for sharing intimate" moments.

 

One bathroom is larger than the other. And in the larger one, there is a sit-down vanity counter, which is separate from the WC unlike most other First-class cabin lavatories. So two people can use this larger bathroom - and whilst one is putting on make-up, the other could do "other business"

Honestly I prefer and like the soothing and immaculate accents and colours of SQ cabin products, unlike EK's rather bling bling theme.

Although that has been toned down by EK as per their bars in the newer 380s.
