SIA's regional flights get an upgrade

Greater comfort and convenience await passengers on SIA regional flights, as the carrier unveiled the latest upgrade to its cabin products Wednesday. SIA invested US$350m to outfit the first 20 of its new Boeing 787-10 Dreamliners with redesigned seats and cabin layouts. Economy-class seats now come with larger in-flight entertainment touchscreens, a new contoured backrest and a 6-way adjustable headrest for greater comfort. Business-class passengers on these routes will enjoy the luxuries offered on longer-haul flights, such as fully reclining beds. With seats arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration, instead of 2-2-2, all passengers in business class will have convenient access to the aisle. The centre pair of seats in this class also has adjustable dividers so that customers travelling alone can have more privacy. <br/>
