There are just eight seats in the new First Class being introduced on the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft plying selected routes. Furnished by fashion house Givenchy, the hard-backed seats measure 35 inches across, and fold fully flat to create a natural sleeping position.

The seats are upholstered in leather, with warm tan and acorn color tones, while mahogany wood trim and bold stitching complete the classic furniture effect.

Passengers each get a 23” LCD television screen, a built-in laptop power supply, and a USB port so they can choose to work on board. Phitek anti-noise headsets are provided as well. Personal storage is provided for inside a lighted compartment within the seat’s accompanying Ottoman, and a “vanity area” for freshening up without getting up is part of each seat. Salvatore Ferragamo provides the fragrances and toiletries, with women getting body lotion and hand cream while the men are provided with after-shave emulsion and a shaving kit. All passengers get Givenchy sleeper suits with suede lounge slippers as well.

A constantly changing fine-dining menu created by the appointed International Culinary Panel is available for consumption at any point during the flight save for take-off and landing. China and Bone tableware is made by Givenchy, and will eventually be used on the rest of the Singapore Airlines First Class fleet.

First Class travelers are treated to an elegant check-in lounge furnished in marble, wood panels, and embossed leather. They also are afforded access to Singapore Airlines’ Silver Kris lounge to relax in before the flight.

Passengers are greeted at the terminal by senior passenger-relations officers, who will escort them to the premium check-in reception. Overhead stowage bins allow for increased headroom.

The hard-backed seats in Business Class on the 777-300ER aircraft are 30 inches wide, and fold fully-flat into a 73 inch-long bed. Seats all face forward, and are spread across the fuselage in a 1-2-1 layout so that every passenger has direct aisle access. Like First Class, the new Business Class seats are decked out in warm colors, namely, mocha and camel.

Like First Class, Business Class travelers are provided with the tools for doing work at their seat, with a built-in laptop power supply, a USB port, and an office applications suite as part of the KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system. Givenchy furnishings appear here too, with eyeshades and sockettes provided in a stylish pouch complementing the Givenchy duvets and blankets. L’Occitane provide the fragrances and aftershave.

Designed by the nine-member International Culinary Panel, restaurant-style meals – complete with full table settings – are available on long haul flights, with a choice of international and local delicacies from the world gourmet cuisine menu.

Travelers can expect exclusive check-in counters with personalized service. Express check-in for customers without checked baggage is available.

Overhead stowage bins allow for increased headroom. Customers can specify exact seating at either booking or check-in time.
