A380 seatmaps
An Emirates A380 seatmap is out, at

Do you like it? How comfortable will 8 abreast business class be, seeing as 8 abreast is standard, non-premium economy on SQ?
How would you compare the comfort of business class on Singapore (4 abreast diagonal flatbeds at 55 inches pitch) with Qantas A380 business class (forward facing flatbeds at 6 abreast, 80 inches pitch)?
Comparing the first classes against each other, Singapore has 12 4 abreast Suites on lower deck. Qantas has 14 first class seats also on lower deck, but no enclosing suite doors. Whereas Emirates has 14 first class seats 4 abreast on upper deck - considerably narrower than 4 abreast on lower deck.

J is staggered like EY, so theyre not really "abreast"
UncleDude, the demand is for premium classes. look at load factors for SQ's new products for example.
hmm, good point.

Yes. Flew CLT-SYD (with a few stops) in E+ all the way. I redeemed miles for 2 tickets for friends and bought 1 E+ access (i play by the rules) so we all rode in E+.

SQ's A380 upper deck Y cabin was supposed to have been fitted as a Y+ cabin but decided against it during the early stages.
