The Technonaut

On October 15th, Singapore Airlines became the first to accept delivery of the Airbus A380, the largest airliner in the world. In its most cramped configuration, carriers have the option of packing 555 people into the A380. But Singapore Airlines is taking a different tack. Beginning with their first flight, scheduled for tomorrow, SA will offer three cabin classes: coach, business, and a new super-first class called Singapore Airlines Suites.

This new class is meant to be the pinnacle of airline travel, and hearken back to the golden days of flying boats in the 30s and 40s.  Singapore Airlines hired famed yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste to design the suites.  Each fully-enclosed private cabin features a leather recliner, upholstered by the world-renowned Poltrona Frau, a plush double bed, and flat-screen television.

Take a video tour of all three classes and check out the link to the Singapore Airlines Virtual Cabin Experience after the break…
