Absolute heaven.
After flying Singapore to Paris in Economy, the sheer luxury of the extra space in Business Class was pronounced.
After spending a few complimentary hours in the Singapore Kris Lounge at Heathrow, we were delivered to our boarding gate by buggy and ushered immediately to our seats (more like mini cabins). Champagne & orange juice were available, with drink order for after takeoff taken.
Just playing with all of the buttons and gadgets was fun, finding noise-cancelling headphones, a pack of slippers, socks, eyeshades and toothbrush, and a larger screen for watching the inflight entertainment.
The best bit, however, is the massive amount of room. No fighting with your neighbour for elbow room, no lack of room for your legs, and of course the whole 'pod' converts to a fully flat bed for a much better chance of sleep. Cushioning in the bed position is rather thin, but better than sitting up for 13 hours.
Dinner was served on real plates with real cutlery and glasses and never seemed to stop coming, with each course served individually, not all at once on one tray as happens in economy.
Service is provided quietly & competently, with ready assistance to set up the bed.
The cabin staff even use your name!
Longhaul flights are not fun, but business class makes the experience more enjoyable.
We wer not looking forward to the next leg, Singapore to Brisbane, in economy.
