Experiencing the Ultimate Luxury: Inside the Best First Class in the World with Singapore Airlines Suites
Flying isn’t just about getting from point A to point B—sometimes, it’s about indulging in the finest luxury that the skies have to offer. In this exclusive look, we explore Singapore Airlines’ Suites Class, a level of opulence beyond first class, as we embark on a 22-hour journey from Singapore to New York. Buckle up, because this is no ordinary flight—this is Singapore Suites, the ultimate in luxury travel.
A Journey Beyond First Class
Our adventure begins in Singapore, a vibrant city known for its world-class hospitality, and Singapore Airlines does an exceptional job embodying this. Our journey would take us first to Frankfurt for a layover and then onwards to New York City. Excitement was in the air as we arrived at Changi Airport a full eight hours early—not out of necessity, but because Changi is one of the best airports in the world.
Exploring Changi Airport: More Than Just a Stopover
Changi Airport is a destination on its own. It’s home to Jewel, an awe-inspiring seven-story complex complete with the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Shopping, dining, and stunning architecture are just part of what makes this airport special. We could easily spend a day here before even thinking about boarding our flight.
The Private Room: Singapore Airlines’ Most Exclusive Lounge
Once we checked in, we were escorted to The Private Room, a luxurious space within Singapore Airlines’ First Class Lounge. This exclusive lounge is understated yet elegant, offering everything from Wagyu satays to gourmet coffee. The extensive menu, all included in your ticket, sets the tone for the indulgence to come. But we had to save room—because dining in the sky was going to be just as incredible.
Boarding the Airbus A380: Welcome to Singapore Suites
Finally, it was time to board the Airbus A380. The Suites are located on the upper deck, and they are unlike anything we’ve ever seen in aviation. With only six suites available, this space is nothing short of spectacular. For couples, booking seats 1A and 2A (like us) gives you the option to have the walls lowered, creating an expansive shared space that feels more like a hotel room than an airplane cabin. Solo travelers can opt for row 3, which offers individual suites.
The Suite Life: Unmatched Comfort and Amenities
The suite is pure luxury. The plush leather seat swivels for maximum comfort, and there’s even a personal closet to store your carry-on. The entertainment system is top-notch with a massive 32-inch TV, and the food? It’s legendary. From garlic bread (a must on Singapore Airlines) to truffle-infused dishes, every meal was a gourmet experience.
But the highlight? The bed mode. As the flight attendant prepared our suite for sleep, we couldn’t believe how spacious and comfortable it was. The bed stretched across the entire width of the suite, and the luxurious pajamas added to the experience. We dozed off over the Bay of Bengal, and woke up six hours later over Iran—refreshed and ready for more.
Dining at 40,000 Feet: A Culinary Adventure
Singapore Airlines is renowned for its inflight catering. Whether you order from the Book the Cook service ahead of time or choose from the in-flight menu, the choices are overwhelming in the best way. We indulged in dishes like marbled duck confit terrine and chicken supreme, paired with fine wine. And who says you can’t enjoy champagne with breakfast? We certainly did—because when you’re in Singapore Suites, why not?
The Final Stretch: Frankfurt Layover and Onward to New York
Our journey wasn’t over yet. After a quick layover in Frankfurt, we reboarded the same aircraft for the final leg to New York. The service continued to impress, with more gourmet meals and exceptional comfort. Singapore Airlines truly understands the art of pampering their passengers.
Is Singapore Suites Worth It?
In a word—yes. Singapore Suites redefines what it means to fly first class. From the unparalleled privacy to the gourmet dining, from the incredible comfort of the suite to the impeccable service, this experience is something every luxury traveler should aim to try at least once. Whether you’re traveling for a special occasion or just want to treat yourself to the best in the sky, Singapore Suites is in a league of its own.
