Singapore Airlines Passengers Sitting Even Prettier
Singapore Airlines (tel. 800/742-3333; www.singaporeair.com) may be frustrated at Airbus' delays in delivering its first A-380 super jumbo jet, but that's not stopping the trend-setting airline from improving its existing Boeing 777-300 Extended Range jets. In first class, they've increased the width of their lie flat beds to almost a yard (35 inches to be exact), making it the most spacious first
class seat in commercial aviation history (oh those Singaporeans, they always have to be the best). First class passengers also get a 23-inch LCD TV (that's bigger than what I have at home). Business class passengers also get an upgrade, with a 30-inch-wide flat bed seat, which the airline claims is the widest business class seat in the sky.
