Singapore Airlines announces $1.6B redesign with new double bed

Singapore Airlines has announced a massive $1.6 billion redesign of its long-haul cabins, introducing what it claims will be the largest double bed in commercial aviation. The upgrade will allow first-class passengers traveling together to transform two adjoining seats into a queen-sized bed measuring 80 inches long and 60 inches wide. The revamp, announced on Friday, November 6, will begin entering service in the second half of 2027. The updates will gradually roll out across the airline's new Boeing 777-9 aircraft and 41 retrofitted Airbus A350-900 aircraft, bringing upgraded seating and amenities to all travel classes.
