Luxury suites are coming to Singapore Airlines’ fleet of A380s. Starting in December, the carrier will offer passengers the option of flying in six suites configured on the plane’s upper deck.

Amenities include a 32-inch monitor, a private closet, an amenity box to stow your small items, mood lighting and two lavatories, one with a vanity.
The suites will debut in December on five new aircraft; 14 existing planes will be retrofitted with the suites. Price tag for the redesign of 19 A380s: about $850 million, the airline’s release said.
