SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore Airlines, the first operator of the new Airbus A380, has dashed the hopes of sexual thrill-seekers planning to engage in amorous activity aboard the world's biggest jumbo jet.

The carrier said it would ask passengers on the A380 to refrain from sex while ensconced in one of its 12 first-class suites, which boast the world's first airborne double beds.

"All we ask of customers, wherever they are on our aircraft, is to observe standards that don't cause offence to other customers and crew," the company told Reuters in a statement.

"Nothing different applies for our Singapore Airlines Suites customers."

While private, the double cabins are neither sound proofed nor completely sealed.

Singapore Airlines, the world's second-largest airline by market value, started commercial flights of the double-decker A380 last week with a Singapore-Sydney service.

"So they'll sell you a double bed, and give you privacy and endless champagne and then say you can't do what comes naturally?" Tony Elwood, who traveled with wife Julie in a suite aboard the inaugural flight, told the Times of London.

"They seem to have done everything they can to make it romantic, short of bringing round oysters," Julie said. "I'd say they shouldn't really complain, should they?".

They should add that there is a special caning room near the belly of the craft for non compliants.

I had this same argument in 1st class. I mean they have me in a recliner, with my drink and a movie going and then tell me oral is off limits. I threw a blanket over her head even.

I don't know what the problem is.

For $14,000, I'm pretty sure I could fly to Vegas, hit up Spearmint Rhino, spend some time in the champage room, head back to my Bellagio suite, and do two chicks at the same time (well, two chicks who'd double-up on a guy like me! ;)).

Mile high is overrated.

Setting my sights on a career as a pilot with them myself ;) With so many planes on order, they're going to need quite a few new pilots in the next 5 or so years

Eh, for $14,000 I could buy a decent home theater system AND get first-class, round-trip tickets to the U.S.

All that implies is that the Airline people know people are going to be having sex on board. Mile high clubbers will continue in their quest for altitudinal ecstacy. :laugh:

The people spending $14k for a plane ticket usually don't need to worry about giving up a trip to Vegas or their home theatres to do so.

Well the beds are probably a huge welcome on flights from Tokyo to the East coast and Europe to the West coast of the US.
