Singapore Airlines brings lovers down to earth - Yahoo! News UK

Quote:

SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines, the first operator of the new Airbus A380, has dashed the hopes of sexual thrill-seekers planning to engage in amorous activity aboard the world's biggest jumbo jet.

The carrier said it would ask passengers on the A380 to refrain from sex while ensconced in one of its 12 first-class suites, which boast the world's first airborne double beds.

"All we ask of customers, wherever they are on our aircraft, is to observe standards that don't cause offence to other customers and crew," the company told Reuters in a statement.

"Nothing different applies for our Singapore Airlines Suites customers."
While private, the double cabins are neither sound proofed nor completely sealed.

Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest airline by market value, started commercial flights of the double-decker A380 last week with a Singapore-Sydney service.

"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?" Tony Elwood, who travelled with wife Julie in a suite aboard the inaugural flight, told the Times of London.

"They seem to have done everything they can to make it romantic, short of bringing round oysters," Julie said. "I'd say they shouldn't really complain, should they?"

(oysters? Rocky Mountain Oysters in Singapore Airlines? What the ...)

This is your commander speaking.

It's time to fasten your seatbelts, extinguish all cigarettes and proceed to a coitus interruptus.

Yeah right, as if people who had a private cabin have not done it... People paid up to 100.000 $ for this luxury, so they can have a little fun if you ask me.

For that amount, they better provide me with my own bed warmer.....

People got nuts at auctions because it was the first commercial flight. Not all of them paid so much, but as places got scarcer prices went up and people broke their piggy boxes.

They didn't say anything about the lavatories.

Since when is chowing on bull testicles romantic?

Do I have to explain it all to you? Of course it's romantic!

Cande light on a grenat table cover, silverware, a Hungarian violin in the background, Veuve Cliquot, you in a tuxedo (not rented, for goodness sake), she in a strapless turquoise gown, you hold her hand, she does not withdraw, on your cue the waiter brings 2 dozen deep red roses... Top of the world, young man, you're on top of the world!

Is this while you are digesting the reproductive organs of a bull, or prior to?

Anybody who pays for a private suite on anything gets to take advantage of the privilages that privacy provides to them. Simple as that. If I paid what some of those people paid for the suites I'd demand a stewardess also!

Maybe 2 of them.

I bet making an issue of this is just another advertising ploy anyway.

Za, you're such a Casanova. I tried to follow your advice but here was no Hungarian violon on the Singapore flight, so I took a Metallica cd instead.

Za Rodinu · #14 (**permalink**) November 1st, 2007, 08:24 AM

Ah, well, I guess you are too young to appreciate some refinements...

Skipper · #15 (**permalink**) November 1st, 2007, 11:00 AM

Thank you for the compliment Za. Atilla playing the violon under my sheets is just not my cup of tea. I'll take the Champagne (rather a Mum) though, see I can appreciate reffinements.

That's the true place to go, mile high club.

Nice enough airliner but, all I can say is, a fool and his money are soon parted.

Skipper · #18 (**permalink**) November 2nd, 2007, 07:26 AM

They were all aviation fans and they wanted to share their memories together and say they were on the firs flight of the biggest passenger aircraft ever.

C.Evans · #19 (**permalink**) November 2nd, 2007, 07:20 PM

Hi Skipper, I completely understand that they wanted to be the first but, actually shelling out that kind of cash for one flight? All I can say is that it must have been one heck of a nice flight. Perhaps we were not told what the real percs were? :-D

Za Rodinu · #20 (**permalink**) November 2nd, 2007, 07:51 PM

Perhaps they were thinking of the extra miles that might accrue, should be in the fine lettering.
