SIN-SFO F Class (77W)
Booked 2 saver F award tickets on SQ from SIN-SFO. My question is how "suite" like is the F Class cabin on the 77W. I booked the middle 2 seats 1C & 1D. We were looking forward to flying on the A380's "suites" but got waitlisted and booked this as a back up.

Thanks for the info, I heard it was very similar to the suites and a very good seat, any big difference between the 1C&D as opposed to 2C&D? 1 is the bulkhead seat but looking at some pictures looks like it doesn't really make a difference.

Thats not the First in the 77W. The cabin in the 77W is smaller and is more cramped. The picture shows the B773 (non ER). The seats are identical.
But I agree, there is no difference between row 1 or 2 seats in terms of legroom. I would choose row 2 due to the fact its further away from the First Class galley in front. The business cabin behind is also a small cabin, the disturbance from there should be minimal.

Because of the cut-out and the overlap in seat pitch between row 1 and 2, the two are in fact different.
Row 2 gets unrestricted head/shoulder room, but half of the feet cubby hole is cut out further forward so it has reduced width.
The same cut-out has the effect of restricting the head/shoulder room of row 1 when in bed mode, but the feet go into a full width cubby hole.
All in all I prefer row 2, because it's less distracting for my feet to be in a narrower space, rather than my head/shoulder.

F on the non-ER 777-300s is actually much larger with two extra windows in front of row 1 and two extra windows behind row 2 which serve no purpose at all but they are the result of the reconfiguration from the former 3-row F cabin to the current 2-row F cabin.

Entirely incorrect. The photo posted is indeed the old F 77W configuration, which many 77Ws still have since only a few have been converted to the new 4 F configuration.

Best lounge?
Taking SQ 15 in a week in F. Assuming the UA Global First lounge is the best lounge option pre-flight?
