World's Most Luxurious Airline (Wealth Documentary) | Real Stories

A look behind the scenes as Singapore Airlines bid to create a whole new level of opulence for first class travellers.

Singapore Airlines has been providing first-class travel to customers around the world for decades. But during recent years the rise in competition for luxury air travel has put the airline’s profits under threat. Ultra wealthy airlines in the Middle East are offering unprecedented levels of service, comfort and technology in First Class. But with a revolutionary new design – built in South Wales of all places - Singapore Airlines is determined to outclass the competition.

With exclusive access to Singapore Airlines, this documentary will reveal the lengths that one of the world’s leading airlines goes to build a first-class suite for the super wealthy, revealing the exacting standards first-class passengers expect when it comes to wining and dining Michelin-style in the skies, offering lobster thermidor and vintage Krug to every luxury-seeking passenger.

But it’s not just First Class passengers that airlines are seeking to impress. Social media is abuzz with aviation aficionados dissecting every detail of airline products. 20-year-old Aviation Reporter Alex Macheras has a vast following of plane enthusiasts from across the globe, all clamouring for exclusive glimpses of the latest innovations. Alex has privileged access to new First Class seats on aeroplane ‘delivery flights’. When brand new planes roll out of the factory, they’re delievered to the airline empty of passengers, except for Alex. Updating on social media all the way, Alex’s verdict can make or break an airline’s popularity amongst the aviation community.

The image of the ‘Singapore Girl’ has long been a benchmark for in-flight luxury and customer service. Lifting the lid on what it takes to make it as one of the world’s leading cabin crew, Singapore Airlines grooming trainer Amy Lim reveals how she has to be cruel to be kind with the girls whilst dramatically overhauling their hairstyle and make-up - “It’s my job to make them look good.”

When the day of the inaugural launch finally arrives, first-class passengers give their sweeping verdict on Singapore Airline’s multi-million pound launch. Will it earn its place as leader of the first-class skies once more?

A GREAT airline would have a waterpark on their planes so I can swim while I'm traveling. Anything less is just plain unimpressive.

Meanwhile, 16 million refugees worldwide are not sleeping in their own beds ! ‘What shall it profit, a man that he gain the whole world … and lose his soul.’ Recently a mother and son travelled on Bransons space shuttle at a cost of $350, 000 each. For that $700, 000, 14, 000 people could have received their sight under the Fred Hollows Foundation.

Left or right turn still leads to the same location.

I want an airline that can provide a bouncy castle just for me and then will dive down on command so i can be weightless in my bouncy castle

[michellebursey]

If you want something better go to rich hotel people are so darn picky. You can't have enough. In a plane .some people you can NEVER MAKE THEM HAPPY DONT MATTER WANT YOU DO

[isabellastabilito]

Such a crass display of :” if you can afford it? You can be treated like a human being” I can afford it yet I. WON’T such a display of elitism, over the top display of crassness

Thanks I need to be reminded how to properly do things😂

[celestialcircledance]

I think that niceties like first class are a necessity for the famous because they're also paying for privacy and anonymity and somebody who is overweight or physically compromised may have a hard time with economy . For me personally I'd rather make the destination the highlight of my trip rather than the hotel and means of transportation .

[flamefox]

The neices are so cute in their little outfits ☺️

[babycakes]

I don’t fly well. Once vomited on the entire flight. If I could afford first class that would definitely be the only way I would travel.

With the tons of people dying of hunger every day, I think that people shouldn't be able to have this much money

The bird dress- it looks like M did an amateur job of trimming the tool at the bottom. It also looks like she might have gotten her heel caught in it at 1 spot and tore it.

[texaschick]

Someone needs to get BK on that plane!

[danaj-b]

Such a tremendous waste of money. It's not impressive, it just makes you look like a sucker

[cristianfamigliuolo]

This is a run to any were it is rare to fill a first class and yet this turnover makes a margin. Everyone tries to grab one more customer, whoever loses will pay dearly.

[Eminetics]

No a big fan of the rich, this really irks me. Pay people a living wage and tax the rich please.

[FlipWarBucks]

They have a higher chance of slamming into the ground 1st.

Strangely interesting on a Sunday night in bed.
