There are only six Suites on an entire Singapore Airlines Airbus A380. On flight SQ830 from Singapore to Shanghai, one traveler booked two of them. He took seats 1A and 2A, dropped the partition between them, and turned the pair into one private room with a double bed. The price for the five and a half hour flight: about US$11,000.
The video, Singapore Airlines A380 Suites with a Double Bed: I Booked 2 of Only 6, was published on October 2, 2026 by Luxury POV, the same channel behind Luxury POV’s review of Emirates’ Game Changer first class. At 28 minutes and 13 seconds, it is a full door to door account: the night before the flight, a Rolls-Royce airport transfer, the Suites-only lounge at Changi, and every course served in the double suite. It passed 230,782 views in under two weeks. There is no written recap of this video anywhere, so here are the takeaways, with the numbers.

1. Two of six: booking 1A and 2A for a double bed
The headline move is the booking itself. The A380 upper deck carries just six Suites in a 1-1 layout, so each passenger already has a private room. Luxury POV booked two adjacent suites, 1A and 2A, and had the partition lowered between them. The result is not a bigger seat. It is a double suite: two beds side by side, two chairs, and enough floor space to walk between them. On Sam Chui’s 900K-view Emirates A380 first class review, the suites are famously spacious, but no commercial first class product lets two passengers combine cabins into one room quite like this. The fare for the pair came to about US$11,000 for a single 5 hour 30 minute leg.
2. The chair rotates 270 degrees
Inside the suite, the leather armchair rotates 270 degrees, which matters because the seat and the bed are completely separate pieces of furniture. You sit in the chair facing the TV or the window, and you sleep in the dedicated bed, the way a hotel room has both a chair and a bed. The chair reclines only when facing the TV, a small quirk the video calls out. The cabin details go further: a petal pattern etched into the sliding privacy door, two windows per suite, and a curved ceiling that keeps the small space from feeling like a box.
3. A vanity you can actually sit at
Each suite includes a vanity counter with a lit mirror and storage inside, and there is a seat so you can use it like a dressing table. Next to the window, a touch panel controls the lighting, blinds, and temperature, with Relax, Work, and NIGHT modes. The tech list reads like a living room: a power outlet, USB and HDMI ports, a remote control stored inside the armrest, reading lights, and a wardrobe with hangers for your clothes. Even the bedding gets its own seatbelt, a small detail that tells you how seriously the crew takes the turndown.
4. Lalique, everywhere
The amenities kit, the pyjamas, and the slippers are all LALIQUE, the French luxury brand known for crystal and fragrance. The body care is NEROLI, also under the Lalique umbrella. This is a head to toe brand partnership, not a logo slapped on a bag. Singapore Airlines is not alone in doing this, Emirates dresses its first class bathrooms in Bulgari, but the Lalique relationship is one of the longest running in the industry and it shows in the consistency: pajamas, pouch, skincare, all from the same house.
5. Bang and Olufsen headphones, two monitors, one tablet
The headphones are Bang and Olufsen, the Danish audio brand, handed out for the flight. The entertainment setup is overbuilt in the best way: two large monitors in the suite plus a handheld tablet, all running KrisWorld, the airline’s entertainment system. You can watch on the big screen from the bed or the chair, and the tablet means you never have to reach for the seatback. Between the two suites, that is four large screens and two tablets for one passenger, plus reading lights and armrest controls for everything else.
6. THE PRIVATE ROOM: a Suites-only lounge inside the lounge
Before boarding, the video tours THE PRIVATE ROOM, the Suites-only section inside the SilverKris Lounge at Changi Airport, the airport Skytrax named the World’s Best Airport again in 2026. Orchids line the entrance. Inside: individually partitioned seats, sofa seating, a dining room, and a wine cellar. The menu is leather-bound and includes an Indian breakfast set and vegetarian dishes alongside the standard offerings. Drinks run to TWG tea, six juices, wines poured by region, and spirits. There are self-serve pastries, croissants with distinct layers, muffins, Swiss yoghurt, nuts, and cereal. Beyond the food: nap rooms with a bed, a desk, and a recliner; a shower room; a baby care room; and washrooms fitted with Dyson hand dryers and LALIQUE amenities. It is a hotel lobby that happens to be past security.
7. Lobster laksa before takeoff
In the lounge, the order was a fried egg and sausage plate plus lobster laksa, the Singaporean noodle soup, eaten in a private dining room before the flight. That is the level of ground catering we are talking about: a full restaurant meal, on real plates, with TWG tea, as a warm-up act. By the time SQ830 boarded, the passenger had already had breakfast, a shower-room option, and a nap-room option, all without leaving the airport. If you are flying through Singapore, the lounge is half the experience, and it costs the passenger nothing beyond the ticket.
8. A Rolls-Royce to the airport
The trip starts the night before at the Crowne Plaza Changi Airport, which connects to Terminal 3 by an indoor walkway, so there is no shuttle bus and no taxi queue. The transfer to the terminal for departure day is by Rolls-Royce. Ground transfers are a quiet battleground for first class products, Lufthansa runs Porsches at Frankfurt, Emirates runs chauffeurs globally, and Singapore answers with a Rolls-Royce and a walkway-connected hotel. The point is the same: the luxury starts before check-in, and the airport friction that ruins most trips simply does not happen.
9. Scrambled eggs with caviar at 38,000 feet
Onboard, the main course was scrambled eggs topped with caviar, served with tomato, mushroom, rosti, and a chicken chipolata. Fruit was mango, dragon fruit, gold kiwi, and blueberry. There was a bread basket with as much as you like, plus cornflakes for the traditionalists. Champagne came in two labels: Cristal 2015 and Bollinger La Grande Annee. White wines were a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc and a Meursault. Coffee was illy single origin and Jamaica Blue Mountain, and tea ran from TWG to Chinese Tieguanyin and Pu’er to chamomile. The menu is overseen by seven chefs from around the world, and the service style is dine on demand, so breakfast lands when you wake up, not when the cart reaches your row.
10. Bed making: two beds all to himself
Mid-flight, the crew makes up the beds while the passenger steps out, and with two suites combined there were two beds side by side, both made with Lalique linens. The video shows a nap across both, then a caffe latte to wake up, then a full breakfast, then the beds stowed away for descent. This is the payoff of booking the pair: you do not choose between the bed and the seat, and you do not share floor space. One passenger, two beds, five and a half hours, and a landing at Shanghai Pudong with the cabin already packed away.
11. The S$39 souvenir
Flipping through the KrisShop onboard catalogue, the video spots a Singapore Airlines A380 model for S$39. It is a small beat, but it is telling: the A380 is the flagship, and the airline sells the plane itself as a souvenir. The A380 fleet is the only place these six-suite cabins exist, and with airlines retiring superjumbos across the industry, every flight on one is a little more finite than the last. The model is the cheapest thing in the video by a factor of about 280.
12. Context: Singapore’s 2026 double crown
The video lands at a peak moment for Singapore aviation. In September 2026, Skytrax named Singapore Airlines the World’s Best Airline for the sixth time, dethroning Qatar Airways, based on a survey of more than 24.8 million travelers across 300 plus airlines. The airline also took World’s Best Economy Class, World’s Best Economy Class Onboard Catering, Best Airline in Asia, and the World’s Best First Class Airline Seat award for these very Suites. Six months earlier, Changi Airport was named the World’s Best Airport for the 14th time since 2000, adding World’s Best Airport Dining, Best Airport Immigration Service, and Best Airport in Asia. Singapore Airlines is backing the hardware with an $852 million retrofit program. The $11,000 fare is extreme, but it is the retail price of the product the industry just voted the best in the world, twice over.
Why this video works
Flight reviews usually show you one seat. This one shows you what the cabin looks like when money is no object within it: two suites, one room, a double bed, and a lounge, a Rolls-Royce, and a walkway hotel wrapped around the flight. The numbers do the persuading. Six suites on the plane. Two booked. US$11,000. Four thousand one hundred ninety-eight kilometers. And a champagne list that reads like a wine shop. Watch the full 28 minutes below, then compare it with Jeb Brooks’ Qantas first class review to see how the other end of the Pacific does long haul luxury. For the ground side of the city, here is a look inside Singapore’s ultra-luxury hotel scene.
