  • EK: SIN-MEL , what kind of 77W

    Guys,

    Who has experience with this flight recently?

    What kind of business class do they have? Their website says it will have lie-flat. This is not their newest product, is it?

    How will it compare with SQ's lie-flat regional?

    no, its not the complete lie-flat but recliner. And its 2-2-2 in J. Still, lots of leg-room even for the window pax to get to the aisle even if aisle pax is in sleeping mode.

    I flew SIN-MEL-SIN in J on EK several times and have no complaints. I think their hardware compares with SQ, with the ICE touchscreen more interesting but lesser variety than SQ's. Foodwise and service wise comparable too. Giving EK a leg up is the chauffeur service (in SIN and MEL) and - i know many SQTalkers will think I'm cheapo - EK's Amenity Kit which makes SQ's sockettes and eye-shade so dismal.

    here's a pic of sleep mode from a different flight but same type of equipment:

      Erm - not quite the product actually.

      EK404/405 is run by a 77W, and is 2-3-2 in J.

      The pic below is the product SQueeze will get:

          So it's not sliding to 170 degrees flat or so?
          More like SQ's ancient recliners to CGK and SGN?

          From the pics, it looks like SQ 744's seats type

            Flew EK once in J from SIN to MEL on 77W. It was a lie flat seat in 2-3-2 config.

            Here are the pics from A.NET.
