Surprised that the suites appear to be open at the top - surely conversations, farts etc would be heard next door?
In Suite Class, nobody farts.You don't have to.
A member of your dedicated crew of personal flight attendants is constantly on stand-by to walk back down to the Economy section and fart on your behalf - you can even choose from 'Silent But Deadly, 'Burning Brakes', 'Chinese Firecracker' or 'Rambling Phaduka' in the 'Book My Proxy Flatulence' menu available on the In-Suite Entertainment System.

Looks amazingly lovely.
But no way in hell it's worth $22k more than the seat 20 feet away. It's 18 hrs for christ sake. And I'm a tall awful sleeper who goes through hell on a long haul!
Presumably for the people sufficiently rich that $22k is buttons, vfm isn't an issue and its nicer But no way in hell it's worth $22k more than the seat 20 feet away. It's 18 hrs for christ sake. And I'm a tall awful sleeper who goes through hell on a long haul!

Who am I kidding, id do it as soon as I could
An important factor to consider is that while some suite / first class passengers are properly rich and are willing to pay the full first class fare, many others are flying in first on upgrades.
These are typically gold-status frequent flyers who have booked in business class and will be at the front of the queue to be upgraded to first if business is overbooked. Airlines also offer ‘free upgrade’ vouchers as an incentive or perk to their top frequent flyers.
Frequent flyers also accumulate tens of thousands of miles which, as in Mr Low’s case, they can redeem for free flights in first.

A friend of ours has flown in the suite and his opinion was that whilst it was very, very nice - it was a little strange moving and not being able to see anything else. He described it as surreal and a little claustrophobic. He wouldn't do it again, but wanted to do it just once. His wife felt the same way.

the only thing i found odd is the open top so they can check on you, apart from that i wasn't bothered, i did spend a lot of time sleeping though

If you've got money to spend, charter a plane, or buy one.

Actually the wealthier you become sometimes the easier it is to just pay for things when you need them. Your own plane would probably be smaller, need to stop more often, need attending and would rarely be needed. Much better to buy what you want when you need it.If you've got money to spend, charter a plane, or buy one.

The same is often true of houses, one or two certainly, but in the main much better to use five star places when you need them.

Crazy. We've been here before I still can't understand it.

If you want a magical one night experience you would get quite a lot of hotel for that money.
I've stayed in some lovely hotels. But in none of them have I ever gone to sleep in Singapore and woken up in New York.If you've got money to spend, charter a plane, or buy one.
