Hi folks: I have never been in the PE cabin before, but I am going to attend a conference and some meetings in Asia. The Biz fares for SFO-HKG for my dates are sky high (no availability anyway on decent airlines), and therefore I will fly PE (BR, CX, or SQ).
I see that the OP flew his/her flights in 2014/2019. Has BR upgraded their seats so that the leg rests (not just foot rests) aren't just provided for the first row? Also, have their extended the length of leg rest at all? I checked their website, but it doesn't show a good photo of the actual seats.
Ditto for CX for their long-haul aircrafts? I Googled reviews on CX PE but many articles refer to their "old" seats. However, what I am afraid of is that CX may swap aircrafts with the dated seats for my flight without notice. I really don't like their regional J product.
What about SQ (SQ 1 and SQ 2: 777, not A380 or A350)--seems like the seats provide a calf rest and foot rest? I don't care too much about the "book the cook" bonus; I mainly am concerned about seat comfort.
Thanks very much. I am sure a similar question has been asked many times before, but the answers are somewhat dated and likely do not reflect the current status of these products.
