SQ J or EVA Air J from JFK - SIN?
Looking for some insight on this specific comparison of J products. I've heard EVA Air has a very underrated J product and in some instances surpass SQ's J hard/soft product. Any input on this, specifically on the JFK-SIN route?

Both great products. BR has fantastic service, a more conventional J seat, Rimowa amenity kit (TPE departure only), and better champagne/wines. SQ has better food (IMO) and much better IFE. I think SKL wins over Infinity lounge as well.
Can't really go wrong either way.

Both very good. When are you flying?
If its next month you have the direct option from EWR on SQ.
I also like the A380 which SQ operates via Frankfurt and might choose that over EVA's 777 if price was similar.

Have done both. I like BR.
Having said that, I prefer SQ JFK-FRA-SIN:
- good departure time from NY (and arrive at SIN early in the morning vs. afternoon on BR)
- no need to reclear security at FRA (vs. TPE)
- AC lounge at FRA is more comfortable than the BR lounge(s) at TPE
- I also do find the food options on SQ better

This normally takes 5 minutes max at TPE and there is even an express lane for J and *Gold. They don't even ask you to take laptops out.
