Right as we went to press with an article about our favorite first class sections, Singapore Airlines announced an overhaul of its own program. Singapore's first class has been a darling of the Asian routes with superlative service and cuisine. What may have been lacking in amenities has surely been addressed by their recent announcement. Starting in December, Singapore will roll out an enhanced first cabin with the largest seats in the sky, a whopping 35 inches across. The seat lays fully flat to create a massive bed with a down-filled mattress, duvet, and fluffy pillows. For entertainment, a mere 23 inch LCD screen will keep you happy with on-demand movies and games. As expected, plenty of Dom Perignon and Krug are on hand to smooth out any turbulence.

And it comes with 1000 movies on demand. I kid you not. Seriously.

Finally. Our analysts always whine about having to fly first class to Asia. Maybe this will shut them up.

What Singapore Airlines has done is to take a standard single bed (3 foot by 7 foot) and fold it into a seat. Rather than take an airline seat and try to unfold it into a bed. A very smart move, I think. Love to try it one day!
