QUOTE=demue;30864622]Erm, if we start comparing things to BA pretty much anything SQ wins hands down. Not much of a vote of confidence for SQ then. I have my gripes about the seat and think it is not that well designed for good lounging and sleeping, especially if you are 1.80m or taller. YMMV.[/QUOTE]

The bulkhead seat on 'non-regional' SQ flights solve the issue of those twist seats but if you book late, you might find them being occupied and that's my long-standing problems with SQ. Thankfully, a lot of my SQ F/Suite-less flights are 'regional' now, although BNE currently seems to be a mix of long haul and regional.

The problem with the JL seat is that the hole is long & narrow. Once I inserted my legs into the hole, I could not move (I am a side sleeper)
So I had to take them out & bend my knees. Must have looked awkward to anyone walking past.
Another (Japanese) pax behind me actually slept on his stomach
I like the Regional version too though it looks a bit narrow & vertical, not as spread out as the LH version.
There's also a gap between the window seats & the window.
Also the bulkhead rows do not have the extra foot cubby space that the LH version has, so on the Regional it doesn't really matter which seat you choose.
There is an extra storage/shelf for the bulkhead window seats between the window & the foot cubby.
Have you seen the new British Airways “Club Suite” ?
Why didn’t SQ think of them ? ? Costs ? Bean counting yet again
