YVR-SIN best *A option for Y?
I am planning a trip from YVR-SIN early next year, I am 50/50 on switching away from AC, and this may change the decision.
Is there actually ANY decent Y-class cabin from YVR-SIN under *A? I would absolutely NOT fly the 777HD, as one HKG flight almost killed me! So, looking for alternatives, either through US, NRT, HKG, or else... Would LOVE a 777 cabin with 3-3-3, but not sure if there's any on this route
The other option, and probably the best is CX, which if I wanna switch away from AC, would be a no brainer...
Thanks!

What about YVR-HND-SIN on ANA?
Or YVR-NRT on AC 787 and NRT-SIN on SQ A380.
A few decent options out there if you're looking to avoid AC007. If you are willing to fly JL, they have a 2-4-2 787 which would be the most comfortable Y seat ex-YVR to anywhere.

Thanks, how the seat config on AC 787 vs. 777? They're still not as comfy as 777 (non-HD), right?

The worst part about the 777HD Y seats is the footsie with your neighbor if seated in the -4- section since the seat supports go between your legs. At least that isn't the case on the 787.

You can also go via HKG and PVG
Basically anywhere you can connect to SQ...
If you want to be a little crazy but get decent miles, go YVR-SYD-SIN
because...why not!

EVA is fine in the back, 9 across on the 77W, they also have a premium economy product(separate cabin) that is often for sale at check-in if you haven't purchased. TPE is always under construction, and the EVA lounges are kind of "different" in their decor
