BUSINESS CLASS : the newest Business class seat from SIA is currently ranked as one of the world's best for overall comfort and space. Arranged as pod style seat units, each seat has a good degreee of privacy, and also offers the widest business class seat on the market. In the sitting / relaxing position, the seat is comfortable - although the very wide seat cushion combined with leather seat cover does mean that you can slide around somewhat. The seat cushioning is very firm, and on longest flights this can cause a somewhat sore backside in the sitting position. The seat comes into its own when converted to the flat bed layout, and although you then sleep at a slight angle across the seat pod area, it does afford a great deal of space, comfort and privacy. A lot of thought in the design - a table that adjusts if you want to sit up in bed and have breakfast! Score : 9/10

FIRST CLASS : the new SIA first class seats are an enlarged version of the new Business class seat as described above, with the difference that the flat bed layout provides a longer and wider sleeping area and enhanced comfort. A lot of little extra design features make this one of the best F class seats currently operating. Overall score : 9/10

SFO to ICN: Fantastic sleeping flat beds!! Great cabin service & entertainment choices; Oddly enough even though I had my "do not disturb" light on, I was woken up for a meal on each leg. Other than this one minor detraction, the service was great.

SYD-SIN The seat is quite roomy. I found you do not have a wide choice of reclined positions. The service was fantastic I found no problems with the food. The washroom was quite big. The snack bar was very disappointing. Krisworld was fantastic a great variety of movies. However, the selection of television shows was quite poor. I find that the normal Raffles Class seat is much better than the A380 Business Class.

The suites are essentially cabins - 12 in all - and provide privacy and comfort unsurpassed. They include a full flat bed, a work station and a 23 inch LCD TV with hundreds of entertainment options. The seats measure 81 inches (pitch) x 35 inches across when the armrest is folded away. Upon checking in, I was advised that I was the lone occupant in the suites. Apparently, the SIN-SYD has proven to be a more popular route with suite passengers. Following meal service, the flight attendant offered to convert the seat to a full bed. Oddly enough, the seat reclines only slightly so to fully recline, you need to have the seat converted to a full bed. This is a rather complicated process that needs to be done by the flight attendant. service sets a new standard in comfort for premium class travel.

MXP-SIN. Very nice but this seat is for sleeping, not sitting; it's too narrow under the thighs and too upright. However, the privacy and massive TV are unsurpassed. 777 nice and quiet and leather covered toilet seats a nice touch!

I had hoped that by March 2008, flying JFK-FRA-SIN-EWR would have at least provided one opportunity for the new business class, but still the sloping bed the whole way!!! The great service didn't overcome the disappointment of constantly sliding to the bottom while trying to sleep.

Sydney to Singapore - upper deck in the small cabin in the front of the plane, this is the place to be. The cabin is pleasant, and the noise level, is not there - it is extremely silent and pleasant.

BCN-SIN. Seat 11A and back in the 11K. The small forward cabin is quieter and nicer, but the seat is not that fantastic. It's really good if you want to sleep, it becomes completely flat and it's really wide and long enough. But if you want to keep yourself seated and either working or watching movies it's just not that good. Try always to take these seats or 13 row as the bed is wider at the foot part.

Singapore Airlines new Business Class product has seats across in a 1-2-1 arrangement. It guarantees access to the aisle wherever you're seated, but the seat is almost too wide for comfort! The fully flat bed is formed not by mechanical extension but by folding down the backrest which extends to the footrest. The flight attendant cheerfully made up the bed and I got almost six hours sleep. I was in seat 11A, just behind First Class, and highly recommend this row.

RATING

FRA-SIN the new business class. Visually the seat looks enormous and very comfortable and for the first coupe of houRS it was. The problems started when the VOD system crashed soon after take off and was out for a couple of hours. During the flight the stewardess helped me rotate my seat to the flat position meaning I had to get up whilst she did this. After 20 minutes I asked her to rotate back to the seating position: something to do with the slight angle meaning you are not parallel with the cabin. SIN-BNE the very old business class, some what like a big comfy armchair. Decent recline. SIN-FRA flying with my favoured Spacebeds. Excellent VOD, very comfortable seat which I am in control of and do not need to bother the stewardess to reconfigure it. I don't rate the new business seats but this doesn't distract from the absolutely top quality, personal service from the CSD, purser and stewardesses. Singapore Airlines still offer the best business experience in the skies.

RATING

Seat, Food, Service all top-shelf. New Business Class seat in unparalleled, though I agree it is not the most comfortable in a standard sitting position! When possible, opt for rows 11 or 12 (A or K). Mini cabin behind 1st class only has 8 seats.

RATING

These seats are huge and go totally flat, but they are quite uncomfortable in the sitting position and in lie-flat mode they are hard, though probably ok for most. The seat-belt is very annoying in lie flat position. The controls on the Krisworld system are twitchy (older ones are much better) and it is easy to make the wrong selection.

RATING

SYD/SIN business class in 747-400. Very comfortable. After all the hype of the "New business Class" was disappointed on next flight SIN-IST with old fashioned semi-reclining seats in 777-300. Decided to pay extra (on BA) to fly BCN/LHR so that we could fly back to SYD in the SQ 747-400. The service by SQ on board was excellent as expected though and the flat (angled) seats in the 747-400 gave my wife and me no trouble.

Review: A Mahtaney

RATING

Singapore to San Francisco (via Seoul), and was disappointed. Without doubt its the best bed in the sky, but when you spend 18-20 hours on a seat, you are at best sleeping for half that time. The screen is great in terms of clarity, but can be taxing on the eyes. Other than for sleeping, I have to say that the Singapore Airlines New First Class is disappointing.
