Singapore Airlines' A380 economy cabin.
  • Singapore Airlines operates a fleet of Boeing and Airbus aircraft, including the massive A380 superjumbo.
  • The carrier flies the jet on a unique "fifth freedom" right between New York and Singapore via Frankfurt.
  • I flew in economy on the second leg to Singapore for 12 hours and loved the experience.
Spending 12 hours on a plane may seem like a hellish experience for many travelers — especially those seated in regular economy.
