Singapore Airlines to Unveil New Suites and Business Class Seats on 02 November 2017
According to the latest report by the Australian Business Traveller, Singapore Airlines will be unveiling the brand new Suites and Business Class product (which is expected to be retrofitted to most of Singapore Airlines' existing A380 fleet) on 02 November 2017. These products are due for a refresh after being in operation for over 10 years and it will be exciting to see how it contrasts with the existing Suites and Business Class seats.
As a previously leaked seat map on Singapore Airlines' new A380 has shown, the new Suites cabin will consist of only 6 to 8 'throne' seats in a 1-1 configuration and the maiden flight is still believed to be on the SIN-SYD route.

Having flown the Business Class cabin on Singapore Airlines' A380-800 product on multiple occasions, I am personally very interested to see what it is going to look like. This new business class seat will also be appearing on the airline's Airbus A350-900ULR which is expected to debut in late 2018.
