I'd appreciate members' comments on airlines' policies re availability of first-class seats in the RTW category, especially on long-hauls with beds.

We used to do rtw's using a non-alliance SQ/BA combination which was/is inexpensive and met our needs fine. Then SQ joined the bed group and decided their 12 seats were too precious a commodity to allocate to more than one cheapskate per flight. As a threesome, we were most unwelcome on SQ, so we were pleased to discover OW and substitute CX for SQ.

Now it's time to start thinking about the annual trek again, and some time ago I saw comments suggesting that CX was getting less generous in seat allocation. Any comments on them or the others?
