- We're currently in Singapore at the unveiling
of the new Singapore airlines A380 cabins
including a new suites product,
business class,
and even in economy there's some new improvements,
so I'm super excited.

Brian Kelly, The Points Guy.
Are you limiting Kris Flyer redemptions
on these new routes?
And then when could we expect to see the new A380
to the United States?
You might be able to tell but we're not
actually on an airplane right now,
but that's not going to stop us from seeing the
brand new suites and business class products.
We're also going to get to play around
for the first time ever,
you might see me in economy,
and also see all of the dining
and other elements of all these new cabins.
It's the closest thing you'll get to an A380
inside the convention center here in Singapore.
This leg room looks amazing.
I don't even mind the middle seat.
This is great.
Sorry about my, sorry seatmates, sorry.
Can you imagine sitting next to,
if I was in the middle?
That's actually not too bad.
I could do this from Singapore to Kuala Lumpur.
So there's this myth out there that I don't fly economy,
that is absolutely not true.
I will fly economy when it makes sense.
Like recently I flew Havana to Fort Lauderdale,
a whopping 31 minutes in the sky.
But I do fly coach,
especially if you count seaplanes and Maldives,
because that's technically coach right?
No I'm literally just too tall.
Let's go check out the actual,
the seat behind me.
(lively music)
I could do this, I fit.
Maybe not.
It's just as comfortable.
So short people always tell me that these
are really important.
I've never had an issue with my feet
landing on the ground.
Wake me up in Singapore.
This is a nice screen though.
I'd like a glass of Dom please.
- That fits a small laptop or your tablet.
- Ahh.
A380, my favorite plane in the sky.
I'm happy that companies like Singapore
and Emirates have reinvested in the A380
because it is amazing for passengers.
It's just a really unique experience
and I guess because I'm a super large person
I have this special affinity for the A380.
Thank you.
My sleigh.
Ahh.
I like this, I mean if this is real to size.
It's much better than the current. (laughs)
I'm a side sleeper so this is.
It was comfortable.
Just like the 350 where it's so much more.
Ooh, sorry.
Alright so this is the angle here.
The bulkheads are much longer.
That's tighter than the 350 cubbyhole
from last night for sure.
It's so tight, I can't put them straight up.
Oh, so it came down, oh there we go.
So it came down a little bit.
- Yeah it goes down.
- It drops like a half an inch.
So it's tight but you know,
for most people not six foot seven
it requires a little bit of negotiating.
But the bulkhead is by far the much, much, much better seat.
Singapore suites even make you smarter.
Ahh.
Alright moment of truth, I fit!
Yay! All six foot seven.
It's always touch or go whether I'm going
to fit in a new seat and this one I fit perfectly!
It was made for TPG.
