Not entirely true. SQ's seat pitch in First Class is about 20cm less than other airlines. If you don't want to sleep diagonal, you have to be rather short.

2F has the best alignment for those keen to have a nice window seat.

I am 174cm,,,,,not sure if you consider that short - the point was that there is no cubby hole and not the seat pitch

I don't think so, almost the same as other airlines' First Class. Only their Business Class you need to sleep diagonal.

Didn't know this before I selected, but I'm in 2F for JFK-FRA-SIN at Christmas time. Looks great.

Row 3 is exactly the same with regards to the window and seat placement

Stefan here has stratospheric standards folks, don't forget! I'm 1.9m and can just about place my feet flat on the footwell when lying flat in the SQ 777 F seat - of course an individual's mileage may vary depending on how much space is left between the pillow and the back of the seat etc...

Yikes, that's a bit on the short side for modern F says the 1.92m man. Luckily SIN-NRT isn't all that long.

How does 2F differ from 2A?

Also are the suites actually different sizes? Some reviews say 1x are largest followed by 2x and 3x being smallest. Others say they are all about 50 sq ft…

Yes, that's correct.

First row: 54 sft
Second row: 43 sft
Third row: 35 sft

Only in the first row (1A and 1F) do you have different comfortable seating positions while the other suites have very limited options.

Suites are a bit preposterous, takeoff and dining position of armchair points you inwards towards your neighbour across the aisle, sleeping athwart (sideways) comes at a slight angle because a380s don’t fly ‘flat’ (noseUp by a few deg.)

yes it’s nice to hv the space which you can’t occupy all at once, and moving around (controlling seat, both tv screens) via tablet isn’t such an ergonomic success, so there are ppl who prefer the intimacy the immediacy and exclusivity of the single-row 777 F. We are on it in Sep - took the choice of either Suites or F and decided on the latter. Each to thr own ofc…

77W First is beautified Business Class seat and product. The seat pitch is significantly shorter than any other competitor offering 1-2-1 F products. The 77X F product will be a new league but this is still years away.

Slightly off-topic ...

With row 1 seemingly the better choice, I selected it for a round trip I am taking in a week. Purchased the tickets about two months ago when the cabin was empty, and now both sectors are fully booked.

What is the protocol if there is a couple traveling together in 2A/3A, for instance, but hoping to have the double suite? Will the FAs try to have me move to a different row if other passengers ask? I would not be willing to move, and this would be awkward or confrontational. I know it might be a slight possibility only, but wondering how SQ deals with these potential situations.
