Wednesday newsletters always feature a hotel or flight review.

Due to a complete travel ban in my home country, I have decided to temporarily pause my travels. While I am waiting for (international) travel to resume, I will re-publish some reviews of my favorite luxury hotels in the world and my favorite airlines for flying Business Class and First Class. I expect to start publishing new trip reports later this month!

Today: Review of Singapore Airlines' new A380 First Class suite from London to Singapore

Singapore Airlines - often regarded as one of the world's best carriers, no matter the class you are flying in - took its stellar reputation to new heights in 2018 when it introduced a new First Class cabin on its Airbus A380 aircraft. I was extremely lucky to try out this new product during a journey onboard a one-month old A380 from London's Heathrow Airport (LHR) to Singapore's Changi Airport (SIN). Even though my expectations were sky-high, flying in this "hotel room above the clouds" completely blew me off my feet.

Singapore Airlines features in my top 10 lists of the best airlines for longhaul Business Class, the best airlines for longhaul First Class, the most luxurious A380 First Class products, the world's best airlines for in-flight meals, and the best First Class amenity kits.

I made a YouTube video with my impressions during the flight, which you can watch below. The video has more than 18 million views.
