Airline's first class seat with full bed is leaving people outraged they 'don't have enough legroom' because of it

This is more like a hotel room than a plane!

People have been left shocked after finding out what a 'first class' ticket could get them if they choose to fly with Singapore Airlines.

If you've ever flown long-haul in economy, you might have wondered how much extra it would cost just to have a teeny bit more legroom.

After all, flying for hours on end without much room to even shift in your seat can be painstaking, to say the least.

And if you're unlucky enough to be in the middle seat, being squished between strangers for 10 plus hours is no fun at all.

But over on Reddit, one person has claimed that flying first class with Singapore Airlines could actually get you a double bed.

Sharing a photo, the setup looks more like a hotel room than a plane cabin.

There's a pretty large double bed, with plush pillows bedside tables and lights, and even chairs either side.

There's even *two* TV screens - one for each side of the bed maybe?

It's worth noting that although the Redditor claims the photo is from first class, it's actually one of the airline's suites, which is actually a tier up from first class.


And people on Reddit were pretty blown away, with some outraged over the contrast between different cabins.

One person wrote: "Meanwhile in second class there is no legspace."

While another said: "Ya know, if they cut back just a tiny bit there might be a little more leg room in steerage. Just sayin."

And a third added: "So that’s where all my leg room is going."

Others joked that they'd never be able to afford the cost, with one saying: "I can't afford to even look at this." Relatable.

And another commented: "Good to see a picture of something I can't afford with my entire life savings," while a third added: "Nice, but not something I can afford."

Meanwhile, others joked they'd be chucked out for snoring.

"Me and my wife snore so loud we would get kicked out mid-flight," said one.

People were surprised about the contrast between the suite and economy.

Over on the Singapore Airlines website, it looks as though the image described on Reddit is one of the airline's double suites.

"Travelling with a loved one? In our Double Suites, the centre divider between rooms makes way for a luxurious double bed. Your world just got bigger," they explain.

There's also fine dining and a sliding door that shuts you off from the rest of the plane. And it even has its own bathroom.

"Well-appointed, spacious lavatories complete your Suites experience. A sit-down vanity counter comes complete with an exquisite range of toiletries such as the EDT, body lotion and facial mist from Lalique," the airline explains.

"Perfect for enjoying a quiet moment to refresh, rejuvenate and recharge."

Okay, this is *definitely* more like a hotel room than a plane.

UNILAD has contacted Singapore Airlines for comment.
