Despite the airlines’ offering of the world’s first airborne bed for two on its Airbus A380, Singapore Airlines cabin crew will be put to the test to police amorous couples, according to the London Times.
"If couples used our double beds to engage in inappropriate activity, we would politely ask them to desist," said SIA spokesman Stephen Forshaw. "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."
One might believe with so many passengers on board, surely the cabin crew will be too busy to notice. But that wasn’t the case for Tony and Julie Elwood from Perth, Australia.
They booked the first A380 Double Suite, on the first commercial A380 flight last week... but hardly had a moment of privacy for a kiss, or anything else more intimate. In addition to an observant crew, a parade of nosey journalists also came knocking.
The Elwoods weren’t too impressed with Singapore’s strait-laced attitude.
"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 Elwood, a vigorous 76 years-of-age. "Seems a bit strange."
"They seem to have done everything they can to make it romantic, short of bringing round oysters," added Julie, 51. "I’d say they shouldn’t really complain, should they?
"Though I don’t think they’ll have anything to worry about from us -- the flight is so busy with people coming to see the suites, we wouldn’t have the opportunity," Julie lamented.
What a classic story .Here is a picture of the "vigourous" man of 78 found here:
AirSpace - more than just hot air
Passengers attempted and in many cases succeeded to have sex in cramped airplane bathrooms for years. So now they give you a double bed, champers, oysters and they expect people to go to sleep...I thought Singapore would have a "First Class Mile High Club"....they could even come round with a trolley service...condoms/Viagra Sir/Madam
Now think if Hooters operated the A380
I don't think it's really fair on the guy, after all, he's 78, if he tried to do it in the toilet instead he could fall over and break a hip!!
My wings are like a shield of steel.
Well looks like Silverjet don't mind...take a look at the Video
Also do you think they would change the sheets for each flight

I wonder how Richard Branson (Virgin Atlantic) will approach this, I am sure knowing Mr Branson he may even encourage it
Can just hear the Virgin pilot saying..."Sorry that was not turbulence we have just hit, it was Mr and Mrs Jones in the honeymoon suite"
Branson will probably supply Virgin brand condoms.
Anyways who needs Singapore when you have Aeroflot Girls
