Designer Airline Seats: Does Your Butt Even Know the Difference?

Where: Singapore

The airline consistently ranked as best in the world for service, is also tops when it comes to fashion and amenities. Of course we're talking about Singapore Airlines, and we just realized that not only do they have sweet ipod hook-ups to the in-flight entertainment, but that all of their amenity kits and the first and business class bedding, pajamas and dishware are all from French luxury fashion house Givenchy.

We've spent years craving the Marc Newson-designed pajamas in Qantas first class, the Shanghai Tang togs on Cathay Pacific and the Anya Hindmarch amenity kits in British Airways first class, but Givenchy is miles above those.

And now more people will realize this, since Singapore is expanding their Givenchy seats and updated cabin interiors onto the 11 Boeing 777-200s in their fleet. Now add in larger screens and an update to the in-flight entertainment, and we wonder how anyone minds flying for over 10 hours anymore; even the economy section of a Singapore plane has more going for it than our own apartment.

Do these designer names mean anything to you when you fly? We'd like to think that they'd be leather and more ergonomic, but who knows until you actually sit in one. So does your butt realize the difference?
