Review of the New Singapore Airlines A380 Suite

[adelee]

Hi everyone

I've recently published a review of the new Singapore Airlines A380 suite, which I was fortunate to fly a couple of days ago (on points, of course!). From the vintage Krug, to the Lalique bed linens and the sheer amount of space in my personal suite, I was absolutely mindblown by the experience.

Here are a couple of photos, and if you'd like to check out the review proper, the link is: Review: The amazing new Singapore Airlines A380 first class suite

Cheers, Adele

I've stayed in smaller hotel rooms.

Nice report - thanks for posting.

Great report! I’m always so torn as funding 2 x F redemptions for my wife and I compared to 2 x J redemptions is a giant leap....and the SQ J product is pretty damn good too!

Well you can’t get this gorgeous suite on saver points (unless you booked pre-announcement) but old suites are nice too, heaps better than J and well worth the extra points IMO.

Thanks for the review. The new suites should help people who maybe have some claustrophobia issues.

Just flew this the other day too.. same seat 2F haha!

 

[adelee]

Suite 2F was great - just a shame there was someone in 1F (so no possibility of trying out the double bed)

The row 1 was also considerably more spacious, although in reality you don't even need that extra space.

We've recently experienced J on this flight and it was awesome! My wife and I had the divider all the way down and the was enough room for our 10 month old to sleep in the middle with the infant seat belt on. Just had to pad the gap with 2 quilts to bring it up to the same level as our beds

Flew MEL -SIN in the older Suites a few weeks back and was totally underwhelmed, prefer the Moët over the Krug, but these suites look to be the ducks guts, thx for the review

One day.....

We have recently flown both Sq A380s with the new suite configurations from Syd -Sin (9V-SKV) and Sin-Hkg (9V-SKU) both in 1A and 2A. The tickets were a bargain at 63,750 KF miles + AUD 278.42 per ticket which were booked nearly a year prior, pre KF miles devaluation; and we waited with bated breath as first the Syd-Sin leg, then the Sin-Hkg leg were switched to the new suites configuration...it was like winning the lottery, twice!!

When the divider is down between 1A and 2A, it feels like your own private hotel room with double bed as shown below:

I rate the new SQ A380 F suites on par (? slightly better) with Etihad's A380 F apartments

For me, there are a few negatives: Personally, I would have loved a shower on board ala EK and EY, and there is cetainly space in the bathroom for this. The gaps / spaces in the sliding door are too big for complete privacy (No, not thinking of you know what here ). I think the beds are on the hard side too. Also companion dining is not great....one 1/2 has to sit on the portable ottoman which is not great.

Also, I can see the swivel mechanism on the chair, and the divider between 1A/2A and 1F/2F getting stuck / jammed after a while (the latter has already happened), and it is going to lead to some unhappy F passengers.

But overall, an absolute dream and privilige to fly! It is wow, wow, wow...

Wow! Awesome!

Great review. Thanks.

We are impatiently waiting our trip in June where we get to fly the New Suites, the 4 seat F cabin 777, and the old Suites.
