If you are on the 380 or 777-300 from HKG to SIN - you're in for a treat with the fold down beds and HUGE business class seats. The new'ish 330's which SQ uses for intra-Asia flights are also OK but not as good as the 380/773. The 777-200's seating in business is not as good as they are simply reclining business class seats. Cannot comment on the new UA seats nor on FM (although their lounge has a nice noodle bar!)

NH's 777s are not bad on intra-Asian routes and have the newer J seats. I flew both the 767 and 777 when I did NRT-PVG-NRT on an award last November. It is unlikely to get SQ's new 777s or 380s on awards. There's still an embargo on premium seat awards on these aircraft.
