Singapore Airlines

Yes i have heard about how cramped normally all EK planes are in cattle class…. just thinking what they would do to the A380.

The 777’s are better inside than the 747’s I will admit. The best single way to go from the UK to Australia for instance, is from MAN with Singapore. They put on the 777, and if you go to (for instance) Melbourne you get a 777 the whole way for the most part. I love the 777 experience, they’re a comfortable and quite ride.

But not all airlines are like that.

On Emirates, you should avoid the 777 like the plague.

I flew MAN-DXB-MEL last summer and also the return leg. We refuelled in SIN. Their 777’s are so unbelievably cramped you’d be plain surprised! They have 10 abreast, like in a 747 but in a narrower fuselage. The rows are staggered to improve things, but it is really uncomfortable flying. The A330 we got MAN-DXB was so much more comfortable, even though it had a smaller PTV and the same legroon. They stuck to the standard 8 abreast on the A330 and it was a lot better as a result.

I had tried an EK 777 before this, but my trip was originally MAN-DXB on the A330 and DXB-MEL nonstop on the A340. But they cancelled my flights and shunted me on the 777 much to my disgust.

SQ B747s are not modernised enough… unlike the 777s, the 777s have great leg and arm room unlike SQ 747s. Himanshu, try Virgin, BA, LH or if you like daring experiences..AI.

You’ve not exactly experienced the 747 at its best.

British Airways or Virgin Atlantic rank far higher that Singapore when it comes to Economy, I beleive.
