... Forgive me Father, it has been at least six weeks since my last glass of Krug. Both the J cabin and the F suites look very claustraphobic, at least to me.

The width of the A380 also allows the seat width of the New Business Class to be increased to 34" (as opposed to 30").

Singapore Airlines has increased the seat pitch of the New Business Class seats on the A380 to 55" compared to 51" on the Boeing 777-300ER (B77W).

The SQ design looks old fashioned. Maybe I shouldn't but one of the reasons I like QF is the modern design. Marc Newson has done a great job from the colours to the news tea cups.
SQ is big. QF is modern.

I like the "Singapore Suite" design however for the other classes they look no better than QF and a few others. SQ have just gone the route of width for J but it looks too cramped. I do like some elbow room but SQ is too much and too conservative with the pitch hence the "cramped" look. No way I would pay a surcharge for those seats.
I do not know the differences between the QF A380 and SQ A380 WHY seats will be.

Increased pitch makes perfect sense, if the seat has to be in more forward direction due to lack of width for the diagonal.

For those interested 
, 767-300 VH-ZXC now has the new fabrics, curtains and carpets throughout the cabin.
Also, Dreamtime configured 767-300s, VH-OGP and VH-OGQ will shortly be converted to the domestic Millennium configuration I think more will also be converted in 2008.
And as our NZ friends have mentioned, some of Jetconnect's fleet will be upgraded over the next few months.
You of course can check the latest at the QFlyer - Qantas Fleet Information!
Cheers

I have had confirmation from two other Jetconnect sources that the 737-300 will get the J seats. Of course they could all be reading from the same briefing
. Nothing about the number of seats but I would assume Millenium and 8 seats.
