Mrs Deka2 and I were lucky enough to try out the new suites last weekend SIN-SYD in 1F,2F.
There have been plenty of pictures and comments in the press but for what it’s worth here are mine
Pros
Such a great amount of space. I paced out from the door to the corner of the suite and it was 4 small steps.
Pictures do not do the Suite justice.
The 1 suite is 5 sq m and the 2 suite is 4 sq m, so between us we had 9 sq m of space.
The seat is very comfortable, but the leg rest could be a bit longer.
The TV Monitor is massive at 32”.
There are plenty of places to store small items and a wardrobe for you’re carryon..
The F side bathroom is massive, and a great place to freshen up and get changed.
Cons.
When the doors are open you can look across at the person in the adjoining Suite. This is quite off putting and gives the staff more work, having to close the door every time they come and go.
The bed is a good size, but a bit hard.
With the seat set up for dining we could just carry on a conversation between ourselves.
Overall we had a great time, and would do it again in a heartbeat, but would not be too upset if we were in the old suites.
There were two FA’s to look after 5 passengers, and as usual they were fantastic.
I’m not too keen on the male amenity kit, with the “after shave” being replaced by a candle.
The biggest problem for a couple will be actually getting 1/2F or 1/2A, as I can see many single people booking 1A or 1F essentially blocking the joint suites.
