Keep your Hands To Yourself On the Airbus A380
It would seem that the Airbus A380 doubledecker jumbo jet, with its 12 first-class cabins with double beds would be built for romantic activity but Singapore Airlines, the first operator of the new Airbus A380, is intent on banning the nookie. Reuters reports that the carrier will ask passengers to refrain from doing what might come naturally in this romantic setting. The cabins are not sound proofed and as you can see in the picture above, they are not completely sealed off. The airline does not want to cause offense to other customers or the crew. Considering how many people join the mile-high club under far less comfortable conditions, I wonder how big a deterrent a simple request is going to be. I suspect that as long as the participants are quiet and discreet, there will still be quite a bit of action taking place in those first-class suites.

Honestly, for the price of those cabins - it should be encouraged with a wink, a smile and a nice warm washcloth to freshen up.
The opportunities for creative tongue-in-cheek advertising for the A380 are endless...

Actually, LEH, it does not automatically create "opportunities for ... advertising for the A380" because the other airlines can choose any number of configurations without the cabins... In fact they could choose to have it all economy class seats instead. But for Singapore Airlines, sure.

That's rather funny, actually. Because the bedroom suite looks so romantic.
