  "account": "Singapore Airlines is investing over $1.5 billion to re-design its long-haul cabins across all classes, from economy to first. The airline, which was named the world's best by Skytrax in 2026, aims to offer passengers more space, storage, privacy, and comfort. The new seats and other enhancements will begin rolling out on select aircraft in 2027. The new economy seats will feature more knee and shin clearance, up to 6 inches of recline, a four-way adjustable headrest, and various storage options. Premium economy seats will offer 40 inches of legroom and 9 inches of recline, along with additional storage and a cocktail tray. Business class will introduce new seats with gray, yellow, silver, and blue-black accents, privacy doors, and an electronically adjustable footwell. First-class suites can be configured as two separate spaces or one room with a two-seater sofa, featuring the largest double bed in commercial aviation.",
