Last week, Singapore Airlines unveiled its new Suites, business-class, premium economy and coach products that will be installed on its fleet of Airbus A380 superjumbos.

Singapore was already known for having a great hard product but it's once again upped the ante — especially with the insane new first-class suite which very well could end up being one of the best ways to fly, period. The A380s will feature six Suites that give Etihad's Residence a run for its money. Each features a 32-inch TV, doors that fully close, a 21-inch wide swiveling recliner seat and a separate bed. And if you're traveling with a companion you can combine two of the suites together to create a cabin with a double bed.

TPG himself was in Singapore for the airline's unveiling event and had the opportunity to try out the Suites along with the rest of the new offerings, including business class. All in all, he was impressed — even with economy!

These new products will debut on board one of the carrier's new A380s on its Singapore (SIN) to Sydney (SYD) route on December 18 and some seats, maybe even the Suite if you're lucky, are able to be booked with miles. We don't know yet when we will see the new seats on any US routes.

Experience all the different seats with TPG in the video below:
