A380 upstairs economy seats
I'm booked on Singapore air in economy from LAX-NRT in the upper deck economy section on the A380. Seatguru indicates that the upper deck economy seats have no power and no personal TV, which I'm not sure if I can do without for such a long flight. Can anyone tell me if Seatguru is correct or incorrect? I cannot find a notation on the Singapore Air site that indicates the upper deck economy seats are without those amenities.

Not the first time SeatGuru would get something wrong...
The AVOD is there and it is the best one I have ever used.
You will love it even more if you take the chance to venture into new territory like Japanese/Chinese/Korean films for instance as they have a nice selection of movies such countries as well.

Definitely go for the exit row seats as the price for them is absolute peanuts.

For economy is it better to sit upstairs or downstairs when it comes to how fast you get off the plane? I'll be disembarking in SFO.

Plus you have to take into account the types of people who would love to do a toilet visit on both levels of the aircraft during their flight...

I was in Upper deck , it was nice ! If you're on emergency exit seat, there is no USB port, only AC power outlet.

Just a followup. Economy upstairs deplanes right after business class and somewhat before downstairs economy. Helps you get through customs quite a bit faster. Seats have power and all of that good stuff. Window seats have a like a shelf with storage between the seat and window. This is a relatively small economy section so service is pretty quick. This was on sq2 yesterday and there were enough empty seats that i didn't have anyone sitting next to me.
