REVIEW |

Boeing 747-400
Business Class
FRA-SIN. The seats were OK, but I have seen better - on SAA and BA. The service
on board was excellent and IFE at SQ is the best. However, as amenity kit you
only get a pair of socks?

Airbus A340-500
Business Class
The seat when fully extended is quite comfortable, but I agree with an earlier
comment that the airlines installing the angled seats are making a big mistake -
it is impossible to get a decent, sustained period of sleep when you keep
slipping towards the floor (maybe it's okay if you are 6'6" tall, but not for
average height people like me!)

I felt I was sliding down onto the floor. Why didn't Singapore Airlines
make it a completely flat bed, like BA.

Airbus A340-500
Business Class
While my wife had no trouble sleeping in the Spacebed, I could not get over the
feeling that I was sliding toward the floor when fully reclined. The seat is
long enough and wide enough but the angle toward the floor made sleeping - for
me - very difficult. It was the downside to an otherwise comfortable flight.

Business Class
SIN-LAX-SIN. Slept soundly for over 10 hours - seats take a little getting used
too, but the automated controls allow you to fully adjust the seat to your
sleeping preference. This seat is the best I've experienced and the key reason
for flying SQ Raffles class.

REVIEW |
|
Boeing 747-400
First Class
LHR-SIN-LHR. I have to say the fist class seat is just amazing. I was a little
disappointed with the meal this time but it was probably down to my choice in
the end. I slept for nearly 8.5 hours going over and over nine on the way back .
The mattress does need a little work to get 100% comfortable, but towards BA its
still the best. The only other airline that is supposed to as good is Cathay.

Boeing 777
Business Class
I flew in the new 777 Spacebeds on what was the 4th flight from SIN to Las
Vegas. It was nearly impossible to sleep on this seat in any position. I
appreciate the hood device over the head of the seat to reduce light and
distraction, but I just can't sleep while pointed toward the floor. It was a
great seat for working or watching the IFE, but it's not a sleeper seat as
advertised.

Boeing 777
Business Class
Am I the only person in the world who finds the SQ Business Class sleeper seats
diabolically uncomfortable to sit in - as opposed to sleeping. For me its so bad
I will not travel long haul day flights with SQ - a major sacrifice given their
excellence otherwise. Is SQ planning to do anything to rectify the issue?

Boeing 777-200ER
Business Class
I wasn't looking forward to the spacebed as I heard mixed opinions about the
"angled to the ground flat beds". I decided to test the seat positions and
found in the seating positions it was comfortable due to the materials used in
the bed (apparently made with the help of NASA), when I lowered it down to the
flat position actually found it okay. However that was at the beginning - I woke
up 3 hours later at the bottom of my bed, so I moved up again and tried to get
back to sleep - I managed to sleep another 3 hours before waking up again at the
bottom of the bed. I decided not to try to sleep anymore and instead watch the
TV. Definitely not a great seat, the only good thing about SIA's new product is
the TV and the materials used. Again I think that the airlines adopting the
angled to the ground approach are making a great mistake and will have to soon
change it to a proper 180-degree flat bed

Truly flat seat but the cushion is not leather trimmed - only the armrest and
side-trimming is upholstered in Connolly leather. Extremely big screen for IFE.
Food and service excellent!
