Hi all,
Travelling as a couple LAX-SIN. What are your seat recommendations? Currently have 18D and F...but cabin is pretty open at this point. Don't want 11 because of no windows (even if we are in the middle seats) and don't want to be too far behind, which is why Row 18 seemed best (the middle seats are bulkhead seats, and this is right behind the forward business cabin). Thoughts?

We were originally in row 96 but had last minute aircraft change.

So I'm looking to book flights from HKG to SIN (long work trip so bringing the whole family). As we are HKG based, we usually do CX, but I do prefer SQ Y seat/service on A380. As the wife will be 7 months pregnant, I want to get her a J seat. However, I've never flown SQ J on the A380 (only 772). I understand one complaint from some is that the A380 J seat doesn't recline much? I know there's at least a leg rest (though seems impossible to find a photo of seat fully reclined but not in bed mode). Anyhow, I think wife is looking forward to reclining comfortably the whole way with her feet up -- so want to make sure the seat is ok for this (she loves the CX J long haul seat). Any advice?

That being said, I think if flagler1 makes sure their wife has a bulkhead seat, she'll be able to put her legs up comfortably regardless of where the legrest is.

I vaguely recall the new J seat reclining so that the legrest lines up with the footrest letting you put your feet up. I don't think the same works for the old J seat on the A380, however.

In any case, this is why I suggested booking a bulkhead, which should make putting your feet up on the footrest easier when reclined (instead of trying to contort your legs into possibly weird angles into a cubbyhole).

For SQA380, all business seats on the upper deck ( I was on SQ25 JFK-SIN two weeks ago), i tried to seat hopping as the load is very light esp on FRA-SIN. I was looking for bulkhead. Please avoid bulkhead 17A or 17K, its almost beside the galley. I settled on 91A, and then moved to 91K since we are just two in that cabin.the other one is on 92A 
. I asked the flight attendant to closed the curtain, and she happily obliged.well it became like a private cabin .
So bulkhead 92A/K for single travellers indeed.

I am booked on SQ217 (2pax) and originally it was planned to be a 77W but now it appears to be on a 388. I had seats 11D/F booked and I'm surprised they stuck after the equipment swap.
I read through the thread and the only complaint I see is that there might be a draft, so I'm not particularly worried. SQ217 is a day flight, so sleeping is not super important, but since it's at the bulkhead is the IFE screen in the armrest or is it at the wall?
First time in SQ J, quite excited

Just grabbed 21A and 16K for JFK-FRA-JFK, very excited for my first longhaul flight on SQ. With 16K being in front of the galley will it be bothersome or noisy? It is a daytime flight so I don't plan to sleep much anyway. Thanks!
