Best Business Class from SFO-BOM?
I am currently planning for my honeymoon and want to take business class from SFO to Mumbai. As far as i can tell the new A380's by Emirates offer the best business class from and fly from SFO, I always heard Singapore Air was the nicest, but it seems like they use 777's from SFO and not A380s and there would be 2 stops as opposed to just one. Etihad also flys 777's from SFO but I have also heard good things about them. Are these airlines business class on their older planes comparable or nicer than that of Emirates A380? Are there other airlines I should be looking at? Thanks for the advice.

It depends what's important to you and if you are looking for the best value. My rankings:
Service / Ease / Elegance (soft product): Singapore > Emirates > Ethiad
Seat / Plane (hard product): Emirates > Ethiad (if new biz class product) > Singapore
Value: Ethiad > Emirates > Singapore (Ethiad business class fares tend to be cheaper and a better deal then Emirates or SQ)
Also, I would check out Turkish and CX as other options. TK flies SFO-IST-BOM and their biz class is quite nice.
