Flying on the A380 with the new business class. Currently have 11K (I know the single bulkhead seats no longer have the bench for the legs, but the centre bulkheads were already taken). Is this ok from a noise and light perspective given that it is just behind the F galley, or should I try for something a bit further back (which unfortunately would be in the 90s) now that the singles are all equal design wise? Thanks.

Couldn’t seem to find anything on the above in my search, so apologies in advance if this has already been addressed and I simply missed it.

After having just flown on 11K agree with the light and noise, although the cew didn’t do too bad a job of trying to keep that to a minimum outside of the meal service. The most annoying part was the fact that there are a number of galley storage areas between the seat and the curtain, so not on the galley side of the curtain. As a result, the main disturbance (noise and light) actually came from the cew accessing this storage, which they had to on and off throughout much of the flight. It is beyond me why SQ didn’t try and place the curtain closer to the seat, so that this area would also have been closed off to the cabin when the curtain is drawn (the curtain really is quite far back towards the galley). Given this and all single seats being equal, row 11 singles seem best avoided in favor of a seat 2/3 rows further back (my only choice was this or the last row of the aircraft). On a positive note, was favourably impressed with the sleeping space (and comfort, but I tend to sleep on the side) of the new seat, including the space for the feet (am no giant, though); haven’t experienced much better on this count on my extensive travels in business long-haul.

Can someone share their experience of the ‘double bed’ in 96 D / F in 2017 J please?
Traveling with wife and toddler, so wondering how much of a pain the noise from galley is and should I get a middle row instead?

Hi, I tried searching the forum and this thread and haven’t found an answer. I’m flying FRA-SIN on SQ25 in 10 days. Currently sat in 96a and wondering how often in reality the bassinet seats are used in the middle seats on this flight. I realise it’s not an exact science but wondering more if it’s a 50-50 chance or is it less likely that infants are travelling and sat here. Other noise doesn’t bother me, just don’t know if I could manage with a baby

Thanks in advance
