How I Booked My Singapore Airlines First Class Suites Ticket
I booked my Singapore Airlines First Class Suites ticket 1 week before departure for 143,500 KrisFlyer Miles plus ~$5.60 in taxes and fees. This specific flight was

Singapore Airlines First Class Suites Seats
There are 6 individual suites onboard the aircraft in a 1-1 configuration. However the Suites in rows 1 and 2 can be combined into a double suite. I was in 2A and found it to be great. Note that Suites 3A and 3F are slightly smaller than the other 4.

The seat itself was super spacious and felt like a recliner chair I'd find in an airport lounge. The cool thing is that the chair can swivel 180 degrees at the click of a button.

I was impressed with how much space there was! I could easily walk around in my own little suite which is pretty insane. However, even though there was a lot of room, a lot of it felt "wasted" in that there was just empty space that could have been better utilized.
Tons of leg room.
Incredible amount of privacy with the door closed.

The suite does come with a fold-out bed that is built into one of the wall dividers of the suite. The flight attendant came by for turn down service to make my bed after dinner. My biggest complaint about the whole experience was that the bed was quite hard and not very comfortable to sleep on. I still managed to sleep but it was mediocre quality at best.

Singapore Airlines First Class Suites Wifi
Suites and first class passengers get free Wi-Fi onboard. It was easy to connect to and I had no complaints about the speed.
Singapore Airlines First Class Suites Amenities
Singapore Airlines hands out Lalique branded amenity kits, pajamas, and slippers to first class passengers. The pajamas were comfy and stylish but I wish that the pants had pockets.

Singapore Airlines First Class Suites Food
Interestingly, the flight attendants couldn't serve alcohol as a pre-departure drink and could only do so once we were in the air. I opted for pineapple juice and it was very refreshing.

Once we were in the air, I ordered the caviar, steak, and cake for dessert along with a glass of the Taittinger champagne.

The caviar was fantastic but I really enjoyed the steak they served. It might be the best beef I've ever had on a plane.

The surprising star of the show was the chocolate cake which was absolutely decadent. I really enjoyed it.

Not too long after, the flight attendants came by with a fruit basket. I was surprised to see dragonfruit so I took one of those.

About 2 hours from landing, the breakfast was served and the congee was excellent!

I finished the meal by trying the Singapore Sling which was too sweet for my liking.

Final Thoughts
Overall, Singapore Airlines First Class Suites is an exceptional experience. What really set this flight apart for me was how impeccable the service was. Yvonne, the flight attendant who served me was professional and flawless. She even gave me an entire tour of the A380! That kind of personal touch made the flight super memorable and Singapore Airlines Suites is easily my favorite flight to date. I can't recommend trying this product enough.
