The Airbus A380, launched in October of 2007, is a sleek, energy-efficient aircraft, designed to accommodate up to 850 passengers in a 2-deck configuration. The plane is ideal for long-haul routes, with a range of over 8000 miles, roughly the distance between New York and Hong Kong. In addition to being fuel-efficient, the plane is said to reduce the in-cabin noise by 50 percent.
Book a flight on Singapore Airlines. Singapore Airlines was the first airline to take delivery of an Airbus A380 aircraft. The airline is using the plane to fly between Singapore and Sydney Australia and between Singapore and London via Australia. Other airlines that will soon be using the A380 aircraft include Emirates, Korean Airlines, Quantas, Malaysian Airlines, Air France and Lufthansa.
Enjoy the entertainment system. Singapore's new A380 aircraft are equipped with a state-of-the art entertainment system that includes games, on-demand movies, a music library, television programs and computer dataports. First class passengers have a 23 inch high-definition television screen with surround sound and noise-canceling headphones.
Reserve a Singapore Airlines Suite. Singapore Airlines Suites, available on the airline's A380 aircraft, are the most spacious and private in-flight accommodations aloft. The private suites are similar to a luxury train compartment and feature a leather armchair, a divan that makes into a full bed with luxury linens, a closet for hanging clothes, multiple computer dataports and an entertainment system that includes a 23 inch high-definition screen, a library of movies, games and music and even language courses. Passengers in the suites are also afforded gourmet meals on demand.
