Travelers on the A380 to enjoy Airbus amenities

When Singapore Airlines flies the first regularly scheduled Airbus A380 flight on Oct. 28 between Singapore and Sydney, Australia, passengers will travel in comfort. They’ll be able to choose from 100 movie selections, 180 TV shows, interactive games, CD albums and audiobooks, personal monitors and USB ports. And that goes for those flying economy class too.

Yes, passengers in first and business class will get bigger monitors, 23- and 15.4-inch screens in first and business, respectively, but some perks from the airlines’ $360-million investment in innovation will trickle down to econo fliers. Passengers on Singapore’s L.A. to Singapore service, launched in July, already are reaping the in-flight benefits aboard new B777-300ERs. Among them: some of the largest seats in the sky (35 inches wide in first, 34 inches in business and 19 inches in economy). Info: www.singaporeair.com.
