After five hours of flying I start to become hot on the 777 and have to battle with the flight attendants to lower the temperature of the plane. Also, if the flight is crowded the personal air vent helps to dissipate gas and other odors coming from other passengers.

I flew the Korean 747 in May and they had no personal air vents, but I was the only passenger on the upper deck.
That is a good point! As I recall Singapore Air's 747s did not have the individual control for the air flow. You would think that would be a desirable feature on these aircraft. I agree that the ability to control the flow of air is quite nice.

I have not had a chance to experience the B777 as of yet, but I hope to in the future.

Thanks for the comments.
