Sex out on the Airbus 380’s double beds
Singapore (dpa) – Sex is out in the luxurious suites with double beds aboard Singapore Airlines’ new A380 plane, the carrier said Thursday.”We ask all customers, wherever they are on our aircraft, to observe standards that do not cause offence to other customers and crew,” SIA’s spokesman said.
“Nothing different applies for our SIA suites customers,” he added. The private cabins aboard the world’s largest commercial jetliner give two couples the option of taking a double bed screened off by sliding doors and roller blinds.
The cabins are not sound-proofed or completely sealed off, the spokesman said. The sliding doors are 1.5 metres high and have a netted window.Since SIA started flying the double-decker jet between Singapore and Sydney last Sunday, speculation has focused on the prospect of joining the so-called mile-high-club in style and comfort.
