Has anyone been able to compare PY across several carriers to get an idea of which airlines have the best product?
I've only flown PY on SQ, BA and AY and in terms of the hard product Finnair beats the others hands down: elegant design with an upscale feel, good privacy between rows, big IFE screen with good content.
The BA seat on the other hand was average yet comfy but it might have been an old design as it had a really small and dinky low-res IFE screen - maybe this has since been upgraded?
As for SQ, the hard product seemed underwhelming in terms of the design and privacy offered, but the IFE screen was big and packed with content and the seat recline was quite decent.
As for the soft product they are all good, though I always appreciate the SQ feel and service onboard. Food was probably best on AY, and BA won hands down with the drinks. In terms of the amenity kid I cannot recall if BA had one, but AY's was quite good whereas the SQ one lost out even to regular economy on TK. No biggie though, it's just a small, little addition.
P.S. An interesting fact to end with, my daughter recently took Scoot Plus and then SQ PY two days later and found the Scoot Plus seat much more roomy and comfortable (albeit with no IFE whatsoever). Do we count Scoot Plus as PY for comparison purposes?
Anyone else care to share their SQ vs other carriers PY comparisons?
