The A380 Suite: ultimate luxury, but no sex


The Airbus 380 has recently started operations on its first commercial service with Singapore Airlines. Among the luxury offered on board the super-jumbo, the Singapore Airlines Suite stands out with its unique full-size bed and 24-hour room-service included.

There are many activities you may enjoy in the new suites, however, SIA officials said sex is not one of them. The airline has announced that if they find a couple ‘involved in an inappropriate activity’ onboard the A380, they will be kindly asked to stop doing that. The first couple to book one of the double suites wasn’t too impressed with the airline’s prudish demeanour.

"So they'll sell you a double bed, and give you privacy and endless champagne – and then say you can't do what comes naturally?" asked Tony Elwood, a 76-year-old passenger who booked the suite with his wife, Julie.
