I'm on board the A380 right now
on a swivel chair, which allows me to swivel.
I'm swivelling.
Are we swivelling?
Here we go, we're swivelling again.
Welcome aboard the suite
on Singapore Airlines A380.
The first thing you'll notice is
you have a whole storage unit,
it's almost like you're in a hotel.
You've got place for your luggage
so none of this overhead presses that
you typically do when you get on an airplane.
You've got quite a big mirror
to make sure you're looking good
before you land, you've got your slippers,
you got an extra blanket
because of course you already have a bed
with a blanket in there and overall
a really big closet space I would say.
So I'm on a swivel chair which allows me to
swivel to look out the window,
or at the TV, or at the bed,
so even though I have my own bed
I can't actually lay in it during
takeoff and landing I still have to
abide by regulation.
So this is the table where the meal would come.
Just look at how many buttons I have
right now next to my bed/chair.
There's also ambient lighting too.
This is for all my charging,
you've got your USB, you've got your
regular port for pretty much any charger.
But just in case you don't want to
have to sit up and touch the screen,
you also have your own tablet
which allows you to control the lighting,
control the media you're watching,
I presume you can call for
a flight attendant as well?
And then you have your whole
vanity station here,
so you've got quite a sizeable mirror
for an airplane and you can just
put your stuff here, you've got your
speakers and you literally can just
stand up and just sort of roam around,
you can sort of dance, you can do whatever,
you could stretch, some yoga,
you could do some yoga.
Thank you, I think we've just landed.
If the Suites are a little bit too
luxurious for you, you can always
go to business class.
Let's check that out.
This is the business class seat,
let's see if I can figure out how to
recline the chair, oh here we go.
Can't people put their feet here?
We just lost our privacy.
Making new friends.
So if you're traveling alone,
you have a wall here so you
have your own privacy which was
heavily requested in their research.
But if you're traveling with a friend,
this wall goes down like so,
kind of like a hotel room where
you can connect the doors.
But if you're traveling with family
or you're in a relationship,
this wall actually comes all the way down.
There you go.
You have to sort of sleep at an angle
instead of going straight through.
And you've got your privacy or not,
as we just discovered.
Sort of your remote that allows you to
watch all your media.
There's a lot of storage space,
this is where you could put your
passport, your wallet, your phone,
can kind of go in here.
Let's see what this is,
oh I don't think I was supposed to do that
and this here is actually mood lighting
and you can even control the TV,
on and off, from your panel.
So this airplane actually has an NFC reader,
say I'm shopping in duty-free
and I want to purchase something,
I can just use an NFC reader right here,
tap my credit card like this
and it's as simple as that.
It even has a vanity mirror right inside
the cabin so you can make sure
you're looking good right before you land.
Instead of putting your luggage overhead
this allows you to actually put it below you,
next to your feet which is quite nice,
so you don't have to even get up to get
your stuff in case you need something in there.
Although I quite like the
overhead press pre-flight.
Push for table.
Ah, there we go.
It's quite large, it's in fact, it's huge.
I think this is bigger than most areas
I have in an actual restaurant on a table,
so it's quite nice.
You can move almost any way you want it.
You also have elbow holders here.
So you can sort of relax your elbows like this.
Veg out and watch your movies
until you make landing.
