Yes SQ's seats are tight, but their 777s are actually quite comfortable to be in. CX's Y seats are just uncomfortable.

.... CX really has got to improve their Y class. Though I must say that the FAs note who are its elite members in the Y cabin and address you by name and try their best to do all for you. You won't get this on SQ as there are simply too many PPS members on any given flight even in the Y cabin.
I flew on CX B777-300s last week and found that the seats more comfy than SQ newer 777s. IMHO, SQ older 777 seats (those without AVOD) are the most comfy 32" pitch Y seats around.
Screen size looks the same between CX 773s and SQ 777s to me.

SQ has been much better (than before) in recognizing PPSes in the Y cabin.
It started in late 2001/early 2002 I think. They started addressing PPSes by names in Y. Although I notice that they omit this for most flights of less flying time (CGK-SIN vv). Still, I once received the best ever service in Y (SIN-CGK) where all the FAs called me and my wife by names (memorized) and all of them were very attentive & sincerely friendly. Beats even some experience in SQ F & C cabins. ^
