I can't say that I disagree with respect to EK in my limited—and inconsistent—experience with them. SQ, OTOH, has not failed to deliver in F and C (haven't tried SQ Y, nor is Y the subject of this thread).

...not sure what enhancements you are talking about. Premium cabin service on UA, for one, is deteriorating at a faster clip than during BK
, and any 'enhancement' to the abysmal current level that we may get is likely to be be mere 'restoration'
Meanwhile the
real leading carriers will actually
improve their already very-good to excellent products, leaving the likes of UA further behind in the dust
