Salon's Ask the pilot column linked to this photo showing the new double-bed cabins on the A380s that Singapore Airlines has just put into service:

"Singapore Airlines unveiled those pretty double-bed cabins on its A380s, only to announce (with a typically Singaporean, have-fun-and-we'll-cane-you-and-not-in-a-nice-way perspective on life) that passengers are not allowed to fool around. What a gift for Richard Branson! This all but ensures that Virgin Atlantic will place a condom on the pillow on board its aircraft to seize the competitive advantage."

Edit: I just checked the full fare prices. You can fly from Singapore to Sydney, round-trip, for $6,495.70 each, or $12,991.40 for the entire cabin. One way from Singapore to Sydney is only $3,553.30 each, or $7,106.60 the pair. One way in the opposite direction is $3,965.40 ($7,930.80). All prices as of today, in USD, for travel originating Monday, December 10th.

I'm actually rather surprised that they haven't come up with a solution much like tour buses yet... bunking people.
Cheaper, and more people could be accommodated... hell isn't there something like that in japan for napping? like you put in money and then slip into a 'bunk' for a nap?
Seems odd to me they haven't come up with something along those lines- what with the tightness of space and cost of fuel.
Only way I'd ever pay that is for a honeymoon flight- an if you can't get all frisky then what the hells the point?
