A sneak peek at the A380
Anyone with a tenner can join the mile-high club, if they're prepared to
fool around in a low-cost airline's smallest room. But this week we found
out the price of doing it in style: about £4,000.
That's what it costs (for two) to lie under the Givenchy-designed duvet of
the world's first airborne double bed. Oh, and you get flown from Singapore
to Sydney into the bargain. The flying love nest works out at roughly £8 a
minute, so you'd better make it worthwhile. No pressure.


For that price, a babe should be included with the bed!


Actually there is. 1/2 of the plane is dedicated to only 75 passengers
including 12 "suites" complete with bed in private room acording to
today's WSJ. Apparently that was Singapore's decision on how they
wanted the plane laid out.
