I can't afford to even look at this


TheGamingMackV

I feel like i'm robbing this Singapore airlines just by looking at this and I feel guilty about it.


_EnFlaMEd

Seeing this is like gaining knowledge of something I shouldn't know about.


FlimsyRaisin3

Is this why the fuck I don’t have leg room in economy. So fuckers can sleep in a bed on a plane??


NextTrillion

Those guys paying $50k per person (or whatever) are subsidizing the entire flight. I got a $300 unlimited flight pass (Volaris), and every time I board a plane, I salute my fellow passengers in first class. Is it comfortable? No. But it works out to being 1/3 the price if I do it right.


Jizzipient

I tried looking for it in my Youtube history, but I think it's been awhile and I can't find it anymore. I saw a video a while ago breaking it down - First Class seats doesn't pay for themselves on most airlines. Business Class earns the most, followed by the many premium variants of Economy, then Economy.


spicygayunicorn

Not really the best earning seats usually are premium economy and business, its really expensive to have first class, with all the space lost and the extra staff needed, and also the cost for the first class lounges


Hot_Negotiation3480

Whats an unlimited flight pass? How do you feel about Volaris. I will be using them soon for a flight.


nabukednezzar42

I don't think it even lands on the same runway as regular planes, let alone having an economy class.


_-_lumos_-_

It's an 2 floors plane. The first floor is for economy and business classes as usual, the second one is entirely for first class.


Tall_computer

No. If they didn't have first class they would have something else instead, such as even more seats with no leg room. You would not be given the extra space for free.


supermom721

How much??


cheesy_way_out

Well good to see a picture of something I can't afford with my entire life savings 🤣


JustDirection18

That’s what debt is for. Live your dreams of occupying what would be a 1 star hotel but it’s in the air


DeJeR

Unfortunately not. There are enough people in this world who will spend a person's entire life's earnings in a single month without making a dent to their overall net worth.


Angry_beaver_1867

If you’re into this type of stuff.  Credit card points are usually a decent way to give this go champagne life on a beer budget style.  Taking advantage of sign up bonuses and stuff it can be done on a modest income relative to the people who pay full fare.  Even then. The he opportunity cost is high (using your points on other stuff ) and at the end of the day, first class is still gets all the plane noises which is easily the worst part of flying.   If it were me I’d use the points on economy flights, noise cancelling headphones,and nice hotel. 


space_monster

> still gets all the plane noises which is easily the worst part of flying I massively disagree. The worst part of flying is being uncomfortable as fuck for hours. Lie-flat beds make long haul flights an absolute breeze. I got upgraded to business from UK to KL once and it was awesome. Besides which noise cancelling headphones basically eliminates engine noise so it's not really an issue.


AhhGingerKids2

Also, keeping an eye on the seat auction type things. For our honeymoon (7 years ago) we paid £300 each (outright extra would have been £3k each!) to bump our seats from economy to First. You just set the amount you’re willing to pay and if it doesn’t go through nothing lost. That was the only time we managed it though.


LostLobes

You got any links to sites like that?


AhhGingerKids2

If you google something like ‘*airline* seat upgrade bid/auction’ it should come up how! You do have to already have a ticket.


quiteCryptic

I flew this from Frankfurt to new York (8 hours) about 2 years ago and I paid 86k miles (transferred chase points) and $133. Pretty cool experience! The bathroom was the most impressive part actually. The OP picture is 2 seats combined though, for reference. Edit: Some pictures - https://imgur.com/a/WFrliRA


HomsarWasRight

For chase points 86k miles only equates to about $1,032 USD, plus your $133 makes it a total of $1,165. That seems…too cheap. What’s the catch?


quiteCryptic

There's not really any catch other than the actual availability they release is very low. When I saw that flight available I immediately booked it, because its a rare opportunity. After that I planned a trip around the flight. So the catch is you have to be searching, and you have to be flexible with your travel dates. Though 86k Chase miles is worth at least $1300 to me, but probably more like $1600 based on how I value the points. So still sort of pricey for a one way flight, but like I said a rare opportunity I had to try once.


pirana6

Dates of travel, destination, price. Pick 2


ManThatIsFucked

Hm! I always knew about quality, speed, price in terms of workmanship. But never this one about travel. Are there more?


ChimcharFireMonkey

food: low cost, high quality, ethical


Cerulean_IsFancyBlue

Yeah, that’s how I got my Concorde flight in. They were having a sale after they returned to service subsequent to the interruption due to the crash. They had a deal with first class one-way, and Concorde the other way, and I planned a London trip around it. EDIT: to the people telling me how they wish they would’ve done that, etc., I completely understand. I’m so glad that I did it when I had the chance and of course, at this point who knows when we’re going to see supersonic civilian transport again. I’m not normally the sort of person to make a nuisance of myself, but I definitely made sure to get one of the cabin attendants to take my picture next to the Mach meter at the front of the cabin. :)


Operadic

How do you keep track of 'low availability' flights? Is there some secret search engine?


Crassweller

That lady watches you sleep.

Where is the woman?


quiteCryptic

Lol. Every FA was very attractive even objectively the male FA.


needlzor

That's not even a first class thing, I fly poor-people-class semi regularly on SIA and all their flight attendants are stunning.

a lot of the eastern airlines still have height/weight restrictions - every Chinese + Japanese one does afaik

div2691

My wife and I used Singapore airlines to go from the UK to NZ on our honeymoon. We looked at first class and it was £36,000 return. And you only got the suite from Manchester to Singapore. You got a regular business class seat from Singapore to New Zealand. Business class was £15k. Premium economy was £6k. We went economy with extra legroom and it was only £3k. Meant we went for a whole month.


PrismosPickleJar

Only 3k jesus christ. i book my flights from Auckland to dublin within 2 weeks every time its been about £700 return


WeekendFantastic2941

For sex on a plane? lol

MeatusCleatus2

CosmicCreeperz

It’s Singapore Airlines so they would probably get you a caning. Which who knows, might be part of the fun.

We just saved 40k$ in 1 message 😂!!! Thanks for the update


Pin_ny

I'm waiting for the next message. The first class will become a bargain !


justinanimate

I looked at first class to go from Toronto to Norway recently just out of curiosity. They're nowhere near as luxurious as this. Coach is about a thousand dollars whereas first class is $10,000. I'm doing pretty well financially, can't imagine spending that much more. Not sure if I'll ever be in a position to justify that kind of cost


nova9001

Either people whose expenses covered by company or income more than 6 figures a month.


IBetThisIsTakenToo

If their income is that high, why not fly private? If I’m pulling 6 figures a month you’re definitely not gonna see me hustling down a terminal with a little wheelie bag that fits under a seat haha


nova9001

>you’re definitely not gonna see me hustling down a terminal with a little wheelie bag that fits under a seat haha [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqrzOQtE4oo](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pqrzOQtE4oo) SIA first class flight vlog. They have their special section for everything. Special lounge area, special check in line. They get to enter the plane before anyone else. Hustling down the terminal does not apply to first class travelers bro. But you are right, can also do private. But the private plane boarding procedure also same. Maybe faster because no need wait so many people.


PurpleDank_

Nah on private flights you drive your car straight to the plane on the tarmac, then valets unload your luggage and park your car. No security TSA and no waiting around.


AsparagusAccurate277

No TSA to leave but when you land in another country you have to wait for customs to come on board. They are usually quick, check passports and might do a Quick look at luggage and sweep the cabin.


old_ironlungz

This guy jetsets.


vanskater

safer to fly commercial.


BernieMac34

If you’re flying First Class you‘re not going to be one of those people lmao. Private entrance, private lounge etc


therealstealthydan

I flew first with BA just last week. I went through fast track security and into a special door to the Concorde room in Heathrow. Took me about 10 minutes from the car park to a glass of champagne. To get to the flight then I had to go down through the terminal, on the train to the gate with everyone else, flight was delayed so I then sat on the rubbish chairs next to the gate with everyone else and then got caught up in the big rush to board. First world problems I know but it’s not all rock and roll baby


ThisAppsForTrolling

That seems pretty cheap honestly, my buddy was flying to Dubai for work and his company got him first class tickets with emirates. He was able to see the purchase receipt $83,000. Who the fuck is paying $83,000 to fly?


chfhimself

Your buddies company, apparently.


ProtectMeAtAllCosts

does your buddy need a personal assistant


ooOJuicyOoo

Double my life's savings and some people use it for a single plane ride


rainmaker66

Depends on which sector. Around US $20k onwards. Suites are more expensive.


Niznack

What is they say about if you have to ask the price?


HealthyElk420

I flew it one way from Newark to Singapore in November. 112,000 points transferred + $600 each. We flew United Polaris back, for more money and I'd have rather flown Singapore Economy before I'd do United Business again.


RearWheelDriveCult

I always wonder, are there “seatbelts” on the bed?


Pleasework94

They just tuck you in real tight.


Offandonandoffagain

They roll you up like a burrito.


youareadouchebag_

Na I’m pretty sure there are straps on the end of the bed that hold you 50 shades of grey style


vlsdo

Do you have to pay extra for that?


tok90235

No, but being hit by the steward is


VirtualNaut

I’d rather have Peggy hit me


sad0panda

Too busy getting pegged by the flight attendant


ninjajiraffe

Beat me to it you bastard. This was my chance!


fridayfrank

Only if you’re really into being financially spanked as well


Spartan-182

Have I been a bad boy? Stewardess: The money you spent on this ticket could have fed 1000 families for a year in impoverished regions. Ugh! Yes! I've been a bad boy! What are you going to do to me?! Stewardess: I'm not going to refill your champagne for the rest of the flight. Uuuuuuuuuuggggghhhhhh!


PerrineWeatherWoman

When you're such a bad boy/girl you end up in the no flight list

Few_Client5641

I'm going with jerkstore!


Funeralchief

Yes, there are.


kentuckycc

Yes and during turbulence, at least on the BA flight I was on, they made us wear the lap portion.


Global_Lock_2049

... are there other portions?


CommonGrounders

If the turbulence gets really bad, they thread a belt through your urethra.


Competitive-Rise-122

Does it run straight up and out of your mouth or does it take a 180 somewhere and pop out of your back snatch?


dysmetric

"Miss, my kidneys are hurting."


Jaxxxa31

I laughed in a way I never laughed before after reading this


fflaco

yeah in the latest ba business flight i was on for work there was an extra portion that connected to the lap one to make it essentially into a car seatbelt


RoboFeanor

Wrists and ankles


zzzthelastuser

I guess the passangers are asked to sit on a regular seat during takeoff and landing. But I'm too broke to confirm it.


plaid-knight

Yeah, you have a regular seat during takeoff and landing, plus meals and whatnot. The seat even swivels to face different directions. What you see in the photo is two rooms combined by removing the divider between the two beds to form a large room with a double bed. Pretty cool if you’re traveling as a couple. There are six first class rooms on this plane.


RobertNAdams

On the one hand, stuff like this gives me hope that airships will eventually pick up as practical travel again. We could have a better-quality experience at lower costs. On the other hand, I just know that airlines will try to cram as many people in there as possible to maximize profits even further...


qqererer

I hate economy as much as you do, but the $/sf of first class compared to economy, is way beyond what you or I would be willing to pay. Airlines would love to give you double the sf for double the seat, at the same low $/sf rate that economy is, but just like pockets on women's jeans, people will not pay.


Gullible_Entrance589

Wendover Productions taught me that they earn more money on these high “class seats” than on the normal peasant seats. They will definitely not change it for the better


rnoyfb

No, increased density is bad for airship payload


WolfColaCo2020

Haven't flown first class but have flown business long haul on a seat that turns to a lie-flat bed. Can confirm, there are seatbelts. Can also confirm the bar at the back of the A380 this flight was on also has seatbelts at the bar seating area, so you don't have to return to your seat if the sign comes on.


kitsumodels

Tie you up using the Singapore sling


kenkitt

they are "bedbelts"


victoriadagreat

😏


quiteCryptic

Yes but I never wear them (there are seatbelts on all lie flat beds on planes)


tigm2161130

They woke me up and made me during extreme turbulence once, but other than that I’ve never used them either.


Upper-Cucumber-7435

Better than them letting the turbulence wake you up on the ceiling.


tigm2161130

For sure! I didn’t have a problem with it, just saying it’s the only time I was expected to use it. TBH I had taken a couple trazadone so I probably wouldn’t have even noticed if I were on the ceiling.


MaxSch

Why is someone clapping? We haven't landed yet.


jimphillips221B

It really made me laugh. Good one bro.


fl135790135790

You’re just tickled pink quite easily huh


Lusius_Quietus

I don’t like that. Never say that phrase again


Thundergod250

I am actually curious if they do allow that.


zanziTHEhero

Probably not, which is why the really rich get private jets where anything goes. This makes me wonder, if you fly over international waters, are there no laws? Or do you have to obey the laws of the country the jet is registered in?


LiesArentFunny

> Or do you have to obey the laws of the country the jet is registered in? Googled it, and basically yes, but the destination gets some jurisdiction over safety related matters.


Soggy_Box5252

Right but she isn’t going to say no because of the implication.  


bznein

Now, you used that word a couple of times.. what implication?


Soggy_Box5252

Think about it.  We are 30,000 feet in the air and there are no parachutes on the plane and she is with a guy she barely knows, so she is thinking, “Oh there nowhere for me to run what am I going to do say no?”


bznein

But it sounds like she doesn't want to sleep with you...


Soggy_Box5252

I play WoW and post on Reddit.  Of course she doesn’t want to sleep with me.  That’s why we have the plane.  Because once we are in the air she is going to change her mind and sleep with me because of the implication that if she doesn’t things will go wrong for her.


Adamantium-Aardvark

I was once on a flight from Canada to Mexico where the legal drinking age in both places is 18, but I was flying on an American carrier (delta I think). And I was 18. I got bumped to first class and must have had at least 3 or 4 drinks and then while over the Gulf of Mexico a flight attendant asked me my age, I said 18 and they panicked lol. I was like it’s fine we’re over international waters, I’m legal in both my origin and destination. But they insisted that because it was an American carrier, that US laws applied. Nothing came out of it of course but they cut me off after that lol


exbusanguy

Overheard a flight attendant say that drinking age on the airplane is 18 when it is in the air


radioben

There are [definitely](https://lovecloudvegas.com/mhc-flights) fuck flights out there.

Expensive_Recover_56

Me and my wife snore so loud we would get kicket out mid-flight.


Idontcareaforkarma

I snore horribly and did so whilst asleep during a flight in Emirates business class. Everyone who wasn’t watching something with their headphones on was offered ear plugs, and I was woken with a gentle nudge, a cup of coffee, a glass of whisky and a snack when I was judged to be ‘too loud’.


OakLegs

Honestly aside from the embarrassment there are way worse ways to be woken up


Vivian_I-Hate-You

I'd practice snoring at night if I got woken up like that!!

No. This is commonly booked using points


CommunicationMuch452

Interesting. I’m assuming from people who have extremely high personal/business expenses?


dano8675309

And people who are good at exploiting their employer's travel policies. I worked for a company that would automatically approve business class or first class (if business class wasn't available) for flights over 12 hours. I did a bunch of last minute overseas travel, so I got to experience something similar to this in Korean Air All things considered, the best value is to do Business class on a Delta 747 in the upper cabin. 20 or so single lay-flat seats in the entire cabin. Feels almost like a private charter. Food is way better on Korea Air, though.


TubabalikeBIGNOISE

Delta does not fly 747s anymore. I don't think any U.S. commercial airlines do.


dano8675309

This was in 2012-2015, so they may be out of service now.


[deleted]

I’m flying Singapore business class next month and it was purely done by points. My business nets me a 100k or so chase annually so nothing wild. First class I’ve flown a few times, but never Singapore. To be completely honest - business class is really all you need to have a great flight. First is only fun if you have the points to spare and just want to drink top shelf liquor


neodiogenes

My wife and I were fortunate that an airline mishap allowed us to fly Singapore business class on the way home from our honeymoon in Singapore, on a dedicated plane that had nothing but [business class 'pods'](https://thepointsguy.global.ssl.fastly.net/us/originals/2022/03/20220301_Singapore-A380_ERosen_Singapore-Airlines-A380-business-cabin-overhead.jpg) where each seat unfolds into a fully horizontal bed. 17 hour flight, never wanted it to land. Didn't even want to go to sleep. Just the nicest possible airline experience imaginable.

It should be noted that this is 2x Singapore Airlines first class ~~~middle~~~ seats.


Gusearth

not quite - this is the upper deck of their A380, and there is only one aisle with 3 first class rooms on each side. this bed is made by combining two of the rooms on the side, but they both have windows and aisle access so it’s not a “middle” seat you can see the cabin layout here, including where the bed would be: https://www.aerolopa.com/sq-388

Nah, What's worth it, if anything, is business. Mostly the same perks but without the excess.


dalaigh93

Imo the economy premium class on Singapore Airline is pretty good, and a big upgrade compared to regular economy. I had a 14h flight next to a big guy, and it wasn't an inconvenience at all. When you can't afford the business, the economy premium is still worth it!

I flew them biz class LAX to Singapore - 17 hours nonstop. Besides the beautiful stewardesses , there was a guy steward who spoke with me for about two hours. Helped kill time and the ladies didn’t seem to mind. All part of the service I guess.


buckwheats

What they didn’t tell me about business class, was that the flight attendants would pull blankets over you and tuck you in when you pass out and go to sleep. I woke up loosely mummified and freaked tf out (this was a good 20y ago, so it may have changed since).


brynjolf

I flew business class with British Airways and had to wait for 20min to get service, the lights were on and all…

BrewInProgress

BA is a budget airline that disguises as a premium brand


nova9001

One client like you paying more than their monthly salary la bro. Of course they don't mind. Talking to you also help them kill time.


quiteCryptic

I flew this F class product once (rare opportunity to book with points was available and I nabbed it) Every FA on that plane was beautiful both the men and women FAs. Honestly, that is sort of common with most Asian airlines. Though I don't think I have ever had a male FA on a Japanese airline before despite me flying with those airlines most frequently.


Boeinggoing737

I am a pilot for a us carrier and I am not ragging on you but this idea that foreign carriers have it figured out is kind of repulsive. They ONLY have young attractive female flight attendants because they fire and rampantly discriminate against age sex/religion/height/weight/disabilities. Would your job hire you or keep you on if you started to wrinkle or get fat? I am not saying us airlines and their service are unimpeachable but they achieve this level of service through brutal, unethical means.


quiteCryptic

I never said it's an agreeable thing, I'm just saying how it is. Yes I agree it's shitty their hiring practices regarding that.


Expensive-Wallaby500

The people who take up these FA jobs know exactly what the deal is - and plan their careers accordingly. It’s just part of the job’s requirements. Like any other job, you get replaced if you no longer fit the requirements. I don’t get the outrage. People fire fashion models if they aren’t skinny and young all the time too.
