I have a choice of a 777 or an A340 on an upcoming PEK-SIN in business class.

Which one would you choose?

777 - you may end up with the Space Bed.

hi droneklax,
although neither seat is exceptional, definitely the 777 over the A340. the 777 has slightly better recline and electric adjustment.

You might have to hurry anyway if you still want to enjoy the A340 in SQ service.
Last Friday I saw an A340 with a completely blue painted tail and a changed body striping. This plane is on its way to Seatle and not coming back. Some may be sad, the A340-500's have been delayed by SQ.

Personaly I only regret missing the configuration of the 340; 2-2-2 in Business and 2-4-2 in economy, highly superior to the 777.
For the rest I like the 777 too.

Very unlikely. The 777ER aircraft with the SpaceBed are generally used on ultra long-hauls (to the U.S. and Europe). The 777 aircraft used intra-Asia are normally configured with either the Ultimo seat or an older variety of business class seats.

I've previous seen the ERs (9V-SVx) aircraft operating flights to CAN, KUL, SGN and HAN. It just depends on a/c cycles.
