SQ 38
I was wondering if anyone has any insight on SQ 38 or any of the all-biz 340's, because the av geek in me wants to get to LAX from NRT via SIN, but SQ 12 is a nonstop.

I did EWR-SIN a couple months ago. Nice experience, but a VERY long flight. Seat was quite comfortable, food was good and service was great.
It is the fastest way to get to/from SIN by a few hours, but you're looking at Tokyo. I'd bet against it pricing reasonably, and you're adding probably 10+ hours to the travel time to get there.

They seat 100 pax only arranged 1-2-1. Standard SQ biz class food, service and seat. On a flight this length, I find the seat irritating as there is no recline-but-not-fully-flat position.

I found that I could lean against the incline from the footwell behind me and that was sufficient to be reclined when I wasn't sleeping. The seats are definitely limited in flexibiity, but not horrible. Extremely wide, almost to a fault.
