After finding out that your columnist, and David Cel-dran, were being invited to be the first and only two Filipinos to experience first hand what the world’s largest and most luxurious passenger aircraft— A380 can offer, there was absolutely no second thoughts as to whether or not such a rare opportunity should be passed off. It was an experience worth following through. As the first Singapore Airlines A380 touched down Singapore’s Changi International Airport Terminal 3, the awe-struck small group of invitees couldn’t help but watch in stupefied amazement. The excitement began building up as we realized we were about to have a grand tour of the first fully double-decker aircraft offering more space and comfort with the widest 23-inch LCD screens in its class. A hotel suite on wings. The Singapore Airlines A380 is configured with 471 seats in three classes all conveying a sense of serenity and relaxation: Economy, Business and on the main deck, 12 new beyond-elegance Suites featuring a bold and unique cabin concept where you have a choice of either a 1-bedroom or 2-bedroom Suite designed to be your private cabin in the sky. Truly a class beyond first, delivering unprecedented comfort, space and luxury. Tableware and plush furnishings by Givenchy, personal amenities by Ferragamo, your choice of either Dom Perignon or Krug and ergonomically designed sofa seats that redefines the luxury of flight, top that!
Having been the first of four A380 aircrafts to be delivered by Airbus, Singapore Airlines A380 had its inaugural flight from Singapore to Sydney last Oct. 25 and inaugural flight from Sydney to Singapore the following day. With commercial service now available, Singapore Airlines A380 can offer very convenient connections with SilkAir Flights from Manila, Cebu and Davao.
