Don`t think it`s too big, my Remova I use on domestic business-flights seems to be a similar size

You noticed as well, meant to make a comment earlier, do agree it does look rather big, but look at the spare space left over under the ottoman!!!!^

Great report. The dilemma of becoming spoiled after experiencing the suite life, maybe sometime I can have that problem. It seems like there is little that compares with their suites.

Nice report!
They actually allowed you to route HKG-SFO as HKG-SIN-ICN-SFO for the same mileage?
Any time I've tried to do that it prices as two awards.

It probably has something to do with the people boarding the planes and not the process itself.

Oh what I did was call in and tell them about this issue online. They helped me out and gave me the 15% discount anyways.

Love the part when you asked to get tucked in.
