A few weeks ago Singapore Airlines introduced a new "super first class" section aboard their A380 double decker. Twelve private suits equipped with beds (that can be converted into double beds for couples) are available for their highest paying customers. However, on October 28th, the company announced one teensy weensy little condition for couples who wish to co-habitate in their uber expensive suites... NO SEX IN THE SINGAPORE ROOMS!
Stephen Forshaw, a Singapore Airline official, explained, “If couples used our double beds to engage in inappropriate activity, we would politely ask them to desist. There are things that are acceptable on an aircraft and things that aren’t, and the rules for behavior in our double beds are the same ones that apply throughout the aircraft.”
'Politely ask them to desist.' That is hilarious. And if they don't? Are you going to kick them off the plane or just send them both to time out? (in separate areas of the plane, of course).
The first couple to fly in the new suites didn't get a chance to do the nasty — but questioned the policy, nonetheless. “So they’ll sell you a double bed, and give you privacy and endless champagne — and then say you can’t do what comes naturally?” asked Tony, from Perth, Australia, who flew with his wife, Julie. “Seems a bit strange.”
Good luck enforcing those policies, Singapore Air. Perhaps you would get better press if instead, you promoted SAFE sex on your airlines. Champagne? Condoms? Anyone?
