Service was good. But, UA hard product (even the 2-4-2 in old UA aircraft J) is better than the old SQ seats.
Shocked that SQ hasn't ripped out these old seats and gone "full flat" fleet wide.
That's why they have bought the new Boeing 787-10 as the new standard for their regional fleet.
Yeah, the seats aren't great. Flew them on the Singapore-Canberra-Wellington and back.
I could get some decent sleep, probably because I was very tired.
