And it is obvious where they have it from - they operate three great planes (777ER, A380, and A340-500). Their entire rest of the fleet is an antique joke and the midhaul equipment of SQ is abysmal.
I'd never fly, let alone pay for Biz on an SQ service not run by one of the above listed birds. Sure you get fed while you are immobilised in the straightjacket of their 747 seats which barely produce enough power to charge your iPod. Hell, I am happier in UA's shabby old dentist chairs when I have work to do.
SQ definitely is one of the world's best carriers ... if used correctly.
