Singapore Airlines' 2017-generation A380 Business Class: an all-forward-facing seat arranged 1-2-1 across the upper deck, with direct aisle access from every seat. Each seat is 25 in (64 cm) wide at the seat and reclines directly into a fully flat bed about 78 in (198 cm) long. Features an 18-inch HD screen, Poltrona Frau leather, and generous side and under-console stowage. There is no enclosed privacy door; center pairs have a retractable divider, and bulkhead rows can form a wide double bed. 78 seats total, spread across a forward cabin plus a mid cabin and a small rear mini-cabin.

Strategic Seating

Best Rows
  • Bulkhead rows (11, 91, 96): extra space and the ability to sleep parallel to the aisle rather than diagonally
  • Center pairs at bulkhead rows form a wide double bed — best for couples
  • Window/solo seats for maximum privacy with no seatmate
Rows to Avoid
  • Rear mini-cabin (row 97): near galley and lavatories with more foot traffic and noise
  • Non-bulkhead seats require sleeping slightly diagonally with feet in a narrow console cubby

How to book this cabin
