What aircraft type is that? On the 789 the BP toilets are all the way front on the pointy end and aren't really accessible to PE unless you go through the curtain and walk past the entire BP cabin. Does NZ also fly other equipment on this route?

I understand this config is used to JFK et al.

So it turns out I can’t redeem the onward leg from SIN-LHR until 11 months out (stupid Virgin Atlantic), and as it isn’t guaranteed and I don’t want to run the risk of the PE seats to SIN getting more expensive, I’m just going to have to splash out for cash J seats all the way. It means I’ll miss a stopover in Singapore, but saving the money on hotels and theme parks helps justify the extra cost.

I found the Singapore A350 PE quite uncomfortable on the behind after about halfway into the flight and a bit more cramped somehow then either the 777 or 787 Air NZ product. That's all I can say. Everything else quite similar. I love Singapores inflight entertainment.
