HKG - QF the only airline not to offer fully flat seats.
PVG - MU and CA have angled flat seats.
BKK - EK and TG have angled flat seats.
NRT - JL has angled flat seats
SIN - Variable. SQ only have fully flat beds on the A380. On most flights it is angled flat beds. Some flights operated by the 772 into SYD and PER only have cradle seats (!!). EK has angled flat seats.
CGK - GA has fully flat seats, but not necessarily a superior option to QF.
MNL - Not too sure, but I think PR only have angled flat seats.
I have mentioned it before, it would be good if QF could get some 321-LR planes like that were planning with Red Q/Far Q/whatever it was called to launch more point-to-point flights into Asia. But I digress.
Hong Kong has a QF A380 five days a week with fully flat so maybe some but not all is a better descriptor but that accounts for most of the others anyway
