I saw a funny news­pa­per arti­cle the other day about how British Air­ways moved the body of a pas­sen­ger who died mid-flight up to a seat in first class. (So much for that upgrade!) Accord­ing to B.A., about 10 peo­ple die on flights every year, and some­times it is nec­es­sary to move them to min­i­mize commotion.

This is a per­fect oppor­tu­nity to point out how much sweeter my favorite car­rier, Sin­ga­pore Air­lines, is. SIA’s wide­body Air­bus A340-500s, designed for super long-haul fly­ing, are the only com­mer­cial air­craft with “corpse cup­boards” for dis­creet in-flight body stor­age. That’s what hap­pens when air­lines put pas­sen­gers first!

On top of that, Sin­ga­pore is noto­ri­ously stingy with free upgrades to first class.
