Not on the 345

Hate to sound like a broken record, but that just simply isn't true on SQ 19-20. The Executive Economy on the 345 gives much more legroom than E+, real leg elevation, significantly more recline and a much wider seat (2-3-2 on a Airbus 340 which is 8 or (to recollection) even 9 across in coach on other airlines). Also, in case you like to work on these flights, there is power in every seat (direct plug-in - no adapter needed). And the IFE is endless and flawless - not four repeating movies, several hundred choices of what to watch or listen to, all on demand (18 hours IS a long time, no doubt about it). Plus, having only 117 coach seats on the entire plane is - if nothing else - kinda cool

And Singapore Girls. Not to be underestimated.

Make no mistake - I am a United fan and have been 1K six out of the last 7 years (and heading to Amsterdam/London with them on Monday) and wish they provided something remotely close in quality. But if upgrades are tight and I am going to singapore or beyond, this is the way to go, especially from LAX
