I concurr on the smaller crowds. I really like it upstairs. The seats are the same size as they are downstairs in the 7 abreast. Mind you, the business class (ultimo seats) in the SIA 777-200ER were slightly bigger and just a tad bit nicer (not to mention the 10 inch PTV’s) than they were in the 744. I attribute that to a newer aircraft, as SIA’s 777ER’s are rather new. Oh yeah, didn’t they trade in the A340’s for those? 😀
