A350 J Seat Choice
I'm flying soon from MAN to IAH in business class, my first time on a 350 and first time in years with SIA. I have a choice between 19K (window/bulkhead) or 11 D or F (bulkhead by galley) with the slightly wider footrest.

Could someone please advise me on the pro's and con's of each of these seat choices?

Is there anything else I should be considering to make the trip more enjoyable?

11th row is best. More spacious in front and after lie flat better sleep as well. I was able to sleep very well in my last long haul from London to SIN, almost as well as in new F seat.

Note however that, as of some months ago, only PPS pax or better can pre-select the bulkhead rows.

He's right. I've been checking with elite and non-elite bookings. Only the former can select bulkheads.

Too good to be true But somehow I had a quite good success rate in past.

The complimentary preferred seat in Y so far I had no success to grab one.

This is a huge disincentive to fly SQ C...is this only for A350 or for all aircraft?

I have observed it on 77W and 359 aircraft, so I assume it applies to all. (And for obvious reasons, I personally think it's just GREAT!).

I've noticed the same on the A330.

I think it's fair. SQ is just showing their loyal customers some love after years of weak PPS benefits.

When did SQ use A359 for their London route?

When do rows 11 and 19 open up to ordinary people without PPS or Gold status?

IIRC not in J. Only in Y cabin can you pay for preferred seats.
