Is This the World's BEST First Class? Singapore's INSANE A380 Suites

[@harambethegorilla6361]

Just flew business class on the world’s longest flight with Singapore’s A350ULR from Newark, NJ to Singapore and it was the most amazing flight ever. The hospitality, service, food, and overall product had me speechless. Singapore deserves the first place spot.

I'm in a similar boat, or rather plane here I've been on a couple dozen or so flights when I was younger, but I've grown more anxious since then and I've also had 2 cars crash into me (at their fault), I don't like leaving the house so much anymore. I'm supposed to fly internationally for the first time to Italy next year and the anxiety even this far out was keeping me awake at night. Started watching these videos and my mind is much more at peace. Thanks!

I have never flown first on SQ but I have flown business class with them a few times, and it is much better than Emirates business class. With the 1-2-1 configuration instead of EK's 2-3-2, and the ' book the cook' option for meals. Singapore Airlines rightfully deserves to win Skytrax ' Airline of the Year'.

I'll probably never fly First Class again. But that's okay 😊 When I was a wee spud, we *only* ever flew First Class - more times than I can recall - because my dad had high seniority with United Airlines. This was back in the glory days of travel (when people actually dressed up to fly). I remember when the 747s had lounges up in the hump (my faborite place to hang out while flying to HNL!).

I love Singapore airlines, never done first clsss but their business class on the A380 is wonderful. I couldnt do caviar. Watched Kara and Nate and they had it as a double room.

[@phyllislowry6265]

This was an extrordinary way to fly!!! I can't imagine being able to fly like this. I think if I was taking a flight of more than 10 hrs, it might be a real treat to spend the extra money to be able to actually have a bed on which to sleep! That loo was unbelievable as well especially when you think about what the lower class loos look like. I am a very petite lady & they are cramped for me.

[@lolvks]

Hey Noel, the A380 has two avionics bays, one above and one below the cockpit. The door you mentioned seeing in the lavatory leads to the upper avionics bay.

[@charlescampion9898]

Great video. Emirates and Singapore are both great carriers. Not tried Singapore, but lucky enough to score an upgrade to Emirates First in the "old" 777. Brilliant so far as I am concerned ; no shower, but higher doors than the A380. Difficult to criticise anything when lucky enough to try thee things. As always on all flights, the cabin crew make or break it.

[@sunburn1013]

The Emirate’s first class experience on the 777 is superb. Personally, I prefer the privacy and space in comparison to the A380 suite experience. However, the ability to enjoy a decent shower mid-flight is pretty awesome.

Same, or at least something interesting with flavour. I'm not a burger fan though, probably have one every 5 years or so and only if it's the only thing available. And they have to have salad in to distract from the boring meat and bread.

Unlike American cabin crew, SQ actually seems to care about passengers BUT the #1 way to determine your cabin crew is notice how CLEAN the restrooms are during flight. American cabin crews won’t clean them! Singapore has the cleanest “Loo’s” in the sky! BTW - Showers are a MUST!

I loved the separate recliner chair and bed. Hope to enjoy a Singapore first-class flight.

[@djsconsulting]

The best First class is not just about onboard. You have to include the whole experience from airport arrival to departure. The onboard looks amazing but on the ground seemed no better than standard business class! AF LaPremier has a dedicated lounge at CDG only for LaPremier and a totally separate check in area plus guide through the airport. They drive you direct to the plane for a personal boarding plus pick you up on arrival and walk you through security etc. If you arrive on a connecting flight for LaPremier they also pick you up at the plane and drive you to the lounge which has it’s own security screening for this type of situation. Onboard space is not as big but overall I would say LaPremier is a good candidate for the best. Please give it a try and see what you think?

[@frankiepentangeli7100]

They have something similar in Frankfurt, the Lufthansa First Class Terminal. For me the on the ground hassle is always the worst about flying.

[@andrewcockburn7484]

That is the AF hub though. The experience may not be the same on inbound flights.

[@ravenroc1784]

Plenty leg room! You need to buy one of those chairs. The sheer joy of moving it was yours for all to see! You asked for suggestions, I suggest trying TWA 747's.

[@nibzee]

It is a shame they grounded Etihad's A380 as I really liked their apartment. The armchair was comfortable and I loved the 6'10" bed being 6'6". For me I am currently an Emirates first fan. While I prefer the Singapore Suite, i prefer the food and particularly the wines on Emirates and I am a sucker for a shower to freshen up. I also prefer a bed to be parallel to the fuselage as I find it easier to cope with changes to the flight level. One time in Etihad when we were climbing i felt like they were trying to roll me out of my bed. Reality is that if you fly in any of them, you are going to have a great flight, so to compare one over the other is really taking the piss.

[@jansimonteambondi143]

I've flown the first version of the Singapore A380 First Class Suites and this is so much better. The area is larger and much more upper class. The original looked very "stage coach". And what I love about Singapore First Class Suites is the only people there are the ones who paid to be there - other airlines will upgrade their platinum rewards customers to the next available class (when the seats are free) but not Singapore. Which makes the First Class Suites so much more exclusive. In the first gen there were about 12 suites but I understand there are only 8 suite in the second gen - giving the suites more space.
