Singapore Airlines New Business Class - Instructional Video

[airbusisawesome]

Airlines from both North and South America need to learn a lesson from this. It's like they got everything wrong when designing their interiors, choosing their menus, and training their flight attendants. Essentially any airline from North or South America is a complete failure. They should put a picture of like a Delta plane on failblog.

Woah look at the seats :D

[Brac1]

Sounds like a whining kid in those last few seconds. What's an insolent child doing in Business Class? Hope he didn't keep that up throughout your flight, however long (or short) it was ;-)

[dentcrew]

hes not in business class. hes in eocnomy

[blkarr0ws]

i seems annoying to change

like this often

[farhathaniff]

wtf the seats are not automatic? u mean u have to get out of ur seat in order to do so? reminds me of the seat of the back of a car.. but with quilt instead of luggage lol..

[xxquiker]

yea because its cheaper to have it as an automatic. The seat is too big, and a big motor will be needed to make it turn into a bed. More weight means more fuel. Thats why its automatic.

[sleeevy]

As xxquiker said, there are benefits to the system SIA has chosen.

1. it saves weight

2. as a consequent of 1#, it save fuel

3. it precludes the chance of anything going wrong like in mechanical lie-flat seats

4. the design would make a motor too bulky to fit and would not work

[viking1au]

Seems very noisy!

[SingaporeAirlinesSIN]

Yeah, I could have muted the audio really. But oh well :-P

[sleeevy]

Great! SQ, best airline! make singapore proud!

[sosecsi101]

how can an economy passenger watch this? isnt only for biz class?

[SingaporeAirlinesSIN]

This is an option in KrisWorld if you go to the Travel selection.

[S7r0ng3r]

Can you see the First Class video as well?

[SingaporeAirlinesSIN]

There is no First Class video as New First Class passengers experience an exclusive turn down service performed by the cabin crew.

[S7r0ng3r]

Nice.... Is it possible to get an upgrade(From economy to first)?

Or would the Business Class passengers get priority to get upgraded there?

[sez5252]

business get priority upgrade sorry :(

[S7r0ng3r]

Aww! :'(

[S7r0ng3r]

The cabin crew do it for them? How does it fold out? Is it in any way similar to what we see here?

[xxquiker]

yes

first class seats are design the same way as business.  The only difference is that they get a turn down service.

[S7r0ng3r]

Cool. But can one do it himself?

[sleeevy]

Yes. It is very easy and all a pax has to do is grab a lever at the top of the seatback, push it forward to pull the seat down, then flip over the extension. Should be less than 30 seconds.

[S7r0ng3r]

For First Class? Cool!

[sleeevy]

Yes, both classes. But in F they will prob. insist that they do it for you as they do their signature turn-down service in F.

[S7r0ng3r]

Good to know, good to know.
