Tony and Julie Elwood booked the first A380 double suite but the journalists clamouring to see inside their room prevented them from beating the sex ban Steve Bleach
The A380 may have the world’s first airborne double bed, but it won’t be put to the obvious use if Singapore Airlines has its way: “If couples used our double beds to engage in inappropriate activity, we would politely ask them to desist,” said the company’s Stephen Forshaw.
“There are things that are acceptable on an aircraft and things that aren’t, and the rules for behaviour in our double beds are the same ones that apply throughout the aircraft.”
In any case, the plane is as yet unchristened: Tony and Julie Elwood from Perth, Australia had booked the first A380 double suite, but hardly had a moment of privacy for a romantic kiss, let alone anything raunchier, as a parade of journalists came knocking on their door.
Even so, they weren’t too impressed with Singapore’s strait-laced attitude. “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?” asked Tony, a vigorous 76. “Seems a bit strange.”
“They seem to have done everything they can to make it romantic, short of bringing round oysters,” said Julie, 51. “I’d say they shouldn’t really complain, should they?
"Though I don’t think they’ll have anything to worry about from us — the flight is so busy with people coming to see the suites, we wouldn’t have the opportunity.”
If Singapore Airlines plans to enforce this policy, I'll just have to look to the stewardesses of other airlines.

Did one of us get over there and have some fun?
YOU KNOW THE BAN WILL BE WORTH ZILCH. THE ADVENTUROUS TYPES DO IT FOR THE THRILL.
If I know anything about human psychology, the ban will just make onboard sex more irresistible.
oops! caps was on, you have my apologies.
Wouldn’t sex be a little too risky on a plane? I mean with turbulence and stuff you’d be rolling round possibly on the floor...OH WAIT, you’d be doing that already...
I wonder if it’s possible to have 43 more articles about this stupidity.
*****raunchier*****
All the years I was married, I must have missed something. I thought my activities were appropriate. What does “raunchy” mean?
Mile High Club membership hardest hit.
Besides that, I never heard of any plane that had a loud, long whistle.
He’s 76 and she’s 51...
I’m sorry to our elder members, but that’s just gross.
I did a search and it didn’t come up. Besides it was the comment section that made me laugh.
Sorry, I wasn’t directing that at your posting it.....I was talking about the numerous articles about it in various periodicals. It’s idiotic.
Yeah, you can't say "Women and Minorities Hardest Hit" --
that might be taking too many ways!
Tony,a vigorous 76.
Julie, 51.
My, my, my. (humming innocently) no, it’s NOT.

With the ban, will they have to rename it the “Airburst 380?”
Bill Clinton will just have to find another airline.
and your age is?
