Travelled from Man to BKK via Singapore and return. Outbound flight was on an Airbus 590 with the skewed sleeping arrangement which I found to be most uncomfortable. Although the seat was wide it lacked support for the lower back and I thought that the TV screen was much too close to the seat. The flight from Singapore to BKK on the B787 was little better as the seat was very narrow and the partition dividing the seats made it feel very claustrophobic. Again, I found there to be a lack of lower back support. This time the TV screen was further away. The return flights were very similar.
However, where Singapore airlines does score highly is in the way that the cabin crew look after the passengers; service was superb and nothing was too much trouble. Food also was so much better than any other airline we have travelled on, especially the Book The Cook option. Also, the lounges, with the exception of the one in Manchester, were first class with an excellent choice of food available. Despite my criticism of the seats I would definitely fly Singapore again.
