Singapore Airlines: new first class, business class launch Nov 2
By David Flynn, September 1 2017
Singapore Airlines will reveal its all-new Airbus 380 first class suites and business class seats on Thursday November 2, ahead of the delivery of the first of five new superjumbos to join the fleet.
The Star Alliance member will unveil the new products at an international media launch event held in Singapore.
Also tipped for the grand reveal are new designs for premium economy and economy class, resulting in a tip-to-tail refresh for the decade-old design of the A380s.
The new seats are expected to be retrofitted to most of Singapore Airlines' existing A380 fleet.
As previously reported by Australian Business Traveller, the new first class suites will be larger than their current counterparts, although there'll be fewer of them – with between six and eight suites on the new birds, down from 12 today, although there's speculation that the airline could also offer an oversized 1A 'apartment' suite.
First class will also be relocated to the upper deck, instead of the nose of the superjumbo’s main deck.
Arrayed behind those suites will be redesigned business class seats which will stretch all the way to the end of the upper deck.
(This same business class seat will also appear on a new ultra-long range version of the Airbus A350 due in late 2018, which Singapore Airlines will use to restart non-stop flights from Singapore to Los Angeles, New York and a third as-yet-unnamed US destination.)
Sydney is still believed to be earmarked as a launch route for the new Airbus A380, with London to follow.

Can't wait, I hope they address the lack of legroom for business class when in lie-flat mode. Also adding a mattress would be nice!

Not clear when these seats actually fly? I am in First on Singapore, MEL-LHR-MEL via SIN in mid November, A380 on 22 November. Hope they are in action then.

In the past they've sent the latest cabins to Sydney and Melbourne very quickly, so you could get lucky.

Sorry to burst yeah bubble on this one, but while they might be launching the new first cabins and biz class seats in Nov this year. I've heard they aren't going to be actually flying their new A380's till 2018 at the earliest.

Couldn't possibly be worse than the 787 business class seat, I am only 5'9 and couldn't stretch out unless I laid on my side (with some weird hole to put your feet in). Even with the seat in the upright selection, I was on an angle with my shoulder in the aisle. Probably the worst business class product I have seen recently. And apprently it's 'the latest' for SQ - total fail in my opinion. Staff weren't the best either, really don't know what has happened to SQ - everything about them used to be great! And please don't get me started on their lounges in SIN!!
I came back on QF, and --wait for it-- the staff were much more friendly (they must have hired some new ones) and the A330 seat soooo much better than SQ's 787 seat. Won't be traveling with SQ in business class again, so many better products out there.

Do you have the right airline, I didn't think SQ flew the 787?

I think you might be referring to Scoot, which has the Boeing 787 fleet. They're an LCC carrier and won't be as good as a premium airlines like SQ and QF.

SQ has no 787 in service.

If it's a Singapore carrier and B787, then it must be Scoot, a budget airline. Therefore the J class will not be the same as that of premium airlines.

By the sounds of the description I think Aussieflyer confused the 787 with the a350.

The 787 and the 350 aren't that dissimilar inside, particularly to those who might not be as obsessed as others. Not me, though. I'm totally obsessed.

Hmmm.... Looks like most of us here are frequent flyers and we have not followed the safety procedure as announced on each flight to its entirety, naughty naughty. 🤓

About the only SQ award flights I continuously see pop up in business (forget first) is SIN-PER or SIN-BKK and SIN-HKG. That's about it.

loopflyer, Are you referring to Kris Flyer award flight redemption, and that only these sectors you listed are usually available?
