Suite Class
Those flying suite class aboard Singapore Air score serious privacy. The 12 single and double seating Pullman train car style seats close off from one another. But at $18,000 a seat, more people opt for business class seats instead.

Both Singapore Air’s Changi Airport SilverKris and Heathrow’s Virgin Atlantic Clubhouse lounge are heavenly respites from airport waiting chaos.
Dining in Style
Onboard Singapore Air, an international culinary panel of celebrity chefs is responsible for daily special menus.
Cabin Fervor
Virgin Atlantic’s cabins nearly close off the world around the passenger. The cabin walls are high and those seated next door must peer over the wall for conversation. Those seated across are carefully staggered to avert private viewings

The Singapore Girl
The service of the Singapore Girl sporting the sarong kebaya is legendary. It's excellent service has long been the recipient of awards from magazines, travel and tourism industries.
The Hippest Way to Fly
