Singapore Airlines cabin upgrades

Anyone who has ever flown on Singapore Airlines knows why the airline is considered to be one of the best in the world in terms of comfort and service. However starting this month, the airline is refurbishing the cabins of its Boeing 777-300 fleet (although this does not include its 777-300ERs).

First class will be upgraded to the standard of the current Boeing 777-300ER and will include eight rather than eighteen seats. These seats will be 35 inches wide and can convert to a full-flat bed. In addition, the seats will feature a 23 inch IFE screen. 

Meanwhile, Business class will have the same seats as the airlines new A330 fleet and will include an improved version of the original inclined lie-flat seats. In addition, these seats will each feature a 14.4 inch IFE screen.

The first retrofitted aircraft will operate the Singapore-Sydney route (SQ 231/232) starting on July 22nd and the new cabin configuration will gradually be deployed on other flights from October to December. These include flights to Dubai (SQ 494/495), Istanbul (via Dubai) (SQ 490/491), Riyadh (via Dubai) (SQ 454/453), Shanghai (SQ 830/833 and SQ 836/825) and Sydney (SQ 219/220).

Hence, there is no better reason to choose Singapore Airlines for your next business trip.
