Boarded for the 1st time a morning flight from Singapore to Shanghai. Normally I like to take midnight flights so that the day is not waste sitting on flight during working hours.
This A380 aircraft had the new Business Class Seats which are new on this sector. The seats were same Broad seat with lots of space for sitting but for sleeping you still need to sleep at an angle which is awkward and not a very comfortable position to sleep. The layout of the Business Class on Top Deck was 1-2-1. The Center seats had a divider which can actually be pulled up and down to make it 100% private seat or if you are travelling with someone can be pulled down completely till the seat level giving it a feel of a joint cabin. The idea is nice when you are travelling with companion as this makes the whole cabin very cozy. The seats are all trimmed with Dark Beige/ Brown leather and had every possible thing a traveler would need. Proper storage area, charging points, headphone and lights at appropriate location made the cabin very comfortable for users.
The Service was as expected by the Cabin Crew who kept their meal services very professional and as per customers request. This being a day flight, the entire time, the crew were busy in Service and from Champagne to Tea was served at a push of a bell.
Overall this cabin is better and more functional then the old designed cabin of A380 which SQ was using when they launched the new Business Class. However the sleeping angle is not very comfortable, even though the duvet, pillows and blankets are top notch quality.
