About the carrier

Singapore Airlines is the airline most often named the best in the world, and it flies nonstop from London to its Changi hub four times a day. At the top sit the A380 Suites — fully enclosed first-class cabins with a double bed — alongside First Class on the 777-300ER. Its long-haul Business, the much-admired 2013 seat, is now being replaced by a brand-new suite-style Business with sliding doors, which began arriving in 2026 and is among the first things you'll see on the London A350; an all-new First Class for the ultra-long-range fleet follows in 2027. Which cabin you fly depends on the aircraft and the day, and that is what we pin down before you book.

Less heralded but possibly more important is the new Business cabin on the A350-900 ULR fleet — operated only on the SIN-EWR and SIN-JFK non-stops, the longest commercial flights in the world. The seat is exclusive to those aircraft: 28 inches wide, two configurations of double-bed convertibility, and a separate ottoman that doubles as a guest seat. In our view it is the best long-haul Business product flying today.

Where they shine

What we book them for.

01

Suites Class

Six per A380, the closest cabin product to a private hotel room. Sliding door, separate armchair, separate bed with proper sheets, double bed for couples. The only product on this list with a turn-down service.

02

The Private Room (SIN)

Suites-only lounge at Changi T3 — small, quiet, à la carte dining including the Singapore Sling done properly. Closer to a members' club than a lounge.

03

A350-900 ULR Business

The Singapore non-stop Business cabin — exclusive product, 28-inch wide seat, the most spacious commercial Business product in regular operation. Worth flying the route specifically.

04

Crew consistency

Singapore Girls (and the male equivalent) train at a dedicated academy for sixteen weeks before flying. Service is rigorous, scripted, exceptional — and never feels staged.

Singapore is the benchmark a great many airlines are measured against — the Suites, the catering and the service are as good as flying gets, and the new doored Business closes the one gap rivals had opened. Against Cathay Pacific and ANA it is a question of which hub suits your onward plans; the consistency and the food are Singapore's own. The catch is timing — the new Business is only arriving, the new First is 2027 — so the value is in routing you onto the right aircraft. Tell us your dates and we'll do exactly that.

The take

Our honest read on Singapore Airlines

Where the benchmark carrier earns its name, and the details worth a call before you book.

Why we rate them
  • The benchmark for service, consistently Singapore Airlines is the carrier others measure themselves against — the crew, the catering, the polish, delivered reliably flight after flight. Few airlines manage that.
  • A380 Suites are a true First experience Enclosed suites with a separate bed — and a centre pair that becomes a double — among the most coveted cabins in the sky.
  • A new doored Business is arriving The “2026J” suite-style Business with sliding doors began rolling out in 2026, with London among the early A350 routes from mid-year. The Business product is moving up a tier.
  • Changi and the Private Room set the ground standard Connecting through Singapore — and the SilverKris and Private Room lounges — is part of the appeal, not a compromise.
Good to know
  • Today’s standard Business is the 2013 seat Excellent, fully flat, 1-2-1 — but no door until the new suite reaches your aircraft. We’ll tell you whether your dates catch the 2026J product.
  • The all-new First is a 2027 arrival It comes to the A350 ULR first (New York, LA), later the 777-9 — not on standard A350s, and there are no plans to retrofit the 777-300ER’s First. We’ll set expectations precisely.
  • Two First products fly today The A380 Suites and the older 777-300ER First are different — we’ll route you to the one you mean.
  • London is an A380 / 777 mix Four daily nonstop, but the aircraft — and so the cabin — varies by rotation. We confirm which flies your dates.

Four First Class suites on the 777-300ER, each with a fully-enclosed shell, sliding doors, and a separate bed configured after take-off (the seat itself becomes a wide armchair when the bed is deployed). Smaller than the A380 Suite but more flexible across the network. Particularly on transpacific and Asia regional.

1-2-1 configuration
1-2-1 · forward-facing · widebody fleet

The mainline Business product across the fleet — 28-inch wide seat (the widest in regular Business), 78-inch bed, 1-2-1 configuration, forward-facing rather than herringbone. The seat itself is fixed and you lie flat by lowering the seatback rather than turning the whole shell, which is the trade-off for the width. Excellent across the fleet.

Before you ask

Questions we're asked about Singapore Airlines.

What are Singapore Airlines Suites?

Suites are Singapore's top cabin: fully enclosed first-class rooms on the A380, with a separate armchair and bed, and — in the centre pair — a genuine double bed for couples. The 777-300ER carries the airline's separate First Class. Tell us your route and we'll find the aircraft that has the cabin you want.

Does Singapore Airlines have a new Business Class?

Yes — a brand-new suite-style Business with sliding doors began arriving in 2026, replacing the well-regarded 2013 seat, and London is among the first routes to see it on the A350. Not every aircraft has it yet, so we confirm the seat map and route you onto a flight that does.

Which Singapore flights from London have First Class or Suites?

Today the London services flown by the A380 carry Suites and those flown by the 777-300ER carry First Class, while the A350 flights are Business and below. The mix changes by season and flight number, so tell us your dates and we'll lock in a First or Suites flight.

When is the new First Class coming?

Singapore's all-new First Class — four private suites, the centre pair forming a double — is set for the ultra-long-range A350 from 2027, starting on the New York and Los Angeles routes, and later the 777-9. Until then, First and Suites fly on the 777-300ER and A380. We'll tell you what's flying on your dates.

How much is Singapore Suites or Business from London?

Suites are quoted on request; Business indicatively from £X,XXX return on the contracted trade fares we hold. Tell us your dates and the exact figure follows the same hour.

Is Singapore Airlines in an alliance?

Yes — Singapore is a Star Alliance member, alongside Lufthansa, SWISS, United and more, with its own KrisFlyer programme and the celebrated SilverKris and Private Room lounges at Changi.
