Airline bans mile high club

Singapore Airlines has taken the unusual step of publicly asking passengers not to join the mile high club.

The problem arises because the first class area of its new Airbus A380 contains 12 private suites complete with double beds.

Singapore, which is the first airline to start flying the A380, said the suites were not sound-proofed.

It said it did not want anyone to offend other travellers or crew, reports The BBC.

Singapore added that while the suites were private, they were also not completely sealed.

“All we ask of customers, wherever they are on our aircraft, is to observe standards that don’t cause offence to other customers and crew,” the airline said in a statement.
