ST: SIA's new Suites for A-380s fail to wow premium passengers
The Straits Times published an article quoting one (!) businessman who (at least according to Google and his extensive press coverage) is a big fan of Etihad...
"Those who have flown in the A-380's ultra first-class Suites, since the new-look aircraft made its debut on the Singapore-Sydney route in December, have complained of a lack of privacy, especially during meal times when the sliding doors are kept open."
ST hasn't contacted me but there is no SQ policy to keep doors open during meal service.
"It is a clear unobstructed view between Suites across the aisle, they say. There are six Suites on the revamped A-380s."
I concur with the issue when both doors are open and the only situation where you cannot avoid this is take-off and landing.
"Despite some issues with the Suites, the spokesman said: "Overall feedback about the new A-380 Suites product, as well as about the other cabin products on the aircraft, has been extremely positive. We are very pleased with what our customers have been telling us about it.""
I think there is a long list of things I like about the new Suites and I am not sure whether in summary I come to the same conclusion as the ST and my headline for an article would look diffferent.
"SIA would not say if they are considering a redesign of the Suites."
They are definitely looking into this but the actual options are limited.
