Singapore Airlines, who has decided to be the first airline to take advantage of the super huge A380 airliner. This huge double-decked airplane includes 12 tastefully decorated private suites - complete with a bed for two (wall to wall), roses on the table and petals on the bed, freely flowing champagne - and a no sex policy. While photographs I’ve examined appear to have two sliding closing doors, they are staunch on their position, ensuring all customers are treated alike (as if someone in coach would really provide a side-show in the center seating section.
Australian Tony Elwood -– who the Times of London says is “a vigorous 76″ -– was on Singapore’s inaugural A380 flight, but he says the no-sex policy seemed counterintuitive. “So they’ll sell you a double bed, and give you privacy and endless champagne â€â€? and then say you can’t do what comes naturally? Seems a bit strange,” he says to the Times. His 51-year-old wife Julie agrees. “They seem to have done everything they can to make it romantic, short of bringing round oysters,” Julie tells the paper. “I’d say they shouldn’t really complain, should they?” Alas, the couple did not put Singapore Air’s policy to the test. Julie tells the Times “the flight (was) so busy with people coming to see the suites, we wouldn’t have the opportunity.”
C’mon folks - you liquor ‘em up, bed ‘em down, then tell them to behave?
