As you stroll down the aisle of an international flight, it's hard not to cast an envious glance at the first-class suites. These bastions of luxury are usually just a fleeting glimpse before we make our way to the more cramped quarters of economy. But what if you could peek behind that curtain of exclusivity and see what it's like to fly in the lap of luxury? Well, one traveller has given us that chance, and the internet is abuzz with his revelations.

The traveller, known on TikTok as @pitor.official, shared a video that has since gone viral, amassing over 48 million views. In it, he documents his journey in what is arguably the most opulent flying experience available: Singapore Airlines First Class suite. The video takes viewers through the entire experience, from boarding to dining and even sleeping.


Singapore Airlines has long been synonymous with high-end travel, but their First Class suites take it to another level. These private havens are comparable in size to some New York City studio apartments, offering a level of space and comfort that most of us can only dream of when flying.


Upon entering the suite, passengers are greeted with a single bed, a plush reclining chair, and a sliding door to ensure complete privacy. The attention to detail is impeccable, with a private escort to guide you to your suite and sit-down fine dining that rivals top restaurants. The in-flight menu is curated by the airline's International Culinary Panel, which includes renowned chefs like former MasterChef Australia judge Matt Moran. For those travelling in pairs, adjoining suites can be booked, which connect to form a double bed, perfect for couples who don't want to sacrifice closeness for luxury.


The reactions to Pitor's video are a mix of awe and humour. One viewer confessed, 'I wouldn't know what to do. I feel like I would try to help the flight attendants or give overstimulated thank you's every five seconds.' Others expressed their desire to experience such luxury, with one commenting, 'Money doesn't buy happiness, but boy, I would sure like to cry in my own luxury suite aboard Singapore Airlines.'

The witty remarks continued, with one person saying, 'Your SEAT? Sir, that's a studio apartment where I'm from,' and another joking, 'And here's me thinking I hit the jackpot when I was upgraded to premium economy.'

For those who are tempted to indulge in this extravagant experience, be prepared for the price tag. Booking a First Class suite with Singapore Airlines starts at around $30,000 AUD, though prices can vary depending on your route. It's a steep price to pay for a flight, but for some, the allure of such an exclusive and luxurious journey is worth every penny.


So, dear members of the Seniors Discount Club, what do you think? Is the First Class suite experience akin to having a studio apartment in the sky?
