SINGAPORE AIRLINES
Your jet: Airbus A380
Killer app: The double suite—ideal for snuggling
Amenity you'll want to steal: The downy, soft Givenchy duvet
Ultimate itinerary: Be the first of your Centurion Cardtoting chums to test out the luxuries on the new A380, with service between Singapore and Sydney
Life up front: Singapore is the first airline to fly the new superjumbo A380 from Airbus. The route—between Singapore and Sydney—might be out of the typical American's way, but you may want to consider a trip just to experience that upper-class hedonism. The 12 suites were masterminded by yacht designer Jean-Jacques Coste and have fully closable doors, an armchair almost three feet wide, and a separate chaise longue/visitor seat. When the oh-so-fab passengers are ready to slumber, cabin crew will make up a bed using a separate mattress—no slumming on converted seat cushions here—adorned with the Givenchy duvet and pillow. Even better, Singapore has taken advantage of the usually less-than-luxurious middle pair of seats in its new 1-2-1 configuration, allowing traveling couples the chance to snuggle down in a double bed together if they sit there. Ever wanted to join that illustrious club in the air? You'll never get a better (and more private) chance.
Platinum card–smashing price: Singapore to Sydney from $7,343 round-trip
