As the airline currently running two of the longest commercial flights in the world, Singapore Airlines has long been associated with the luxury of its fare classes on ultra-long-haul routes.
This week, the airline has unveiled the biggest overhaul of the four classes it sells passengers since it launched its First Class Suites product in 2007. As part of a $2 billion investment, Singapore Airlines is retrofitting 41 Airbus A350-900 and Boeing 777-9 planes to feature newer seats, an updated color scheme, and various amenities others that the carrier hopes will further elevate its reputation for offering a luxury experience.
The ultimate luxury product, Singapore Airlines First Class, will be available on four seats on the Boeing 777-9 and four seats on the A350-900ULR aircraft. With each space separated by a curved sliding door, the seats measure 30 inches in width and extend to an 80-inch lie-flat bed.

The key perk is that the central two seats in the one-two-one format can either be separated through a privacy slider or booked together as a daytime sofa and combined into a double bed for cozying up during sleeping hours. The combined 60-inch width makes Singapore’s new product the largest double bed on any commercial airline.
