Review: Singapore Airlines Suites Class - Tokyo to Singapore

This flight is part of my $16,000 three continent trip from Los Angeles to Sydney aboard Singapore’s first class suite. Learn how I paid only $480 here.

After being informed that my flight to Singapore was in the
final stages of boarding, I quickly headed down from the ANA lounge and boarded
onto the awaiting A380.

Oddly enough, the suites cabin was covered with maroon
lighting.

I quickly settled in and was greeted by a flight attendant, presented
with another set of Ferragamo amenity kit & comfy Singapore pajamas, and
was poured a glass of delightful 2004 Krug Champagne.

By pure coincidence, I crossed paths with the entire flight
crew, while checking in. The first class flight attendants seemed shock

We soon took off from Narita and I was served a delicious
Satay starter.

I started talking to my seat neighbor in front of me, and it
turns out he was a fellow mileage enthusiast and has even read around the world
trip on Emirates First Class! We decided to talk about miles over what else, champagne,
and decided to try out the two person dining configuration. While the space is
a bit too cramped to have dinner, I found the second seat quite handy for
socializing with a friend or significant other.

Soon, dinner was served and I headed back to my seat to
enjoy the awaiting banquet. I started off with a plate with a generous serving
of caviar, along with toast and various spread compliments.

This was followed by antipasto with prawn, prosciutto ham,
rock melon, and grilled veggies topped with balsamic vinaigrette.

My main entrée was once again the Lobster Thermidor. The
lobster was amazing, with just the right amount of hollandaise sauce.

For dessert, I decided to try the sorbet inside a precut
mini orange, which was one of the most artistic desserts I’ve had on a plane.

With a relatively short flight of around 7 hours, by the
time dinner was finished we were already more than half way through the flight.
Exhausted from exploring Tokyo during the day, I immediately fell asleep at my
seat and woke up 90 minutes before the plane was due to land.

Bummed at missing out on most of my flight, I cheered myself
up with a glass of Dom Perignon and ordered a dish of Japanese tilefish.

The flavor was a bit “interesting” to say the very least.

Before descending, I did manage to take a few pictures of
the world famous Singapore Airlines double bed. Luckily, I would end up getting
a chance to fully explore the double bed on my next flight.
