"most uncomfortable seats ever"

(Australia)

I don't get it. The best plane and they come up with the single worst most uncomfortable seats ever. Not sure what they were thinking but next holiday we are going Qatar Airways simply for the comfort factor.

"no seat recline at all"

(Singapore)

I got the last seat on the plane furthest back. Avoid this seat at all cost - no seat recline at all! Conclusion unless you are in first or business class go somewhere else and do not pay a premium for a company which in fact does not provide you any extra service / experience.

"less seats and less people"

(Indonesia)

Similar to some earlier comments the seats were really hard unlike SQ's 777-300ER that I normally flew. The only advantage of flying this A380 is you notice less noise on the cabin. The mood lighting was not that great because it was set only to red and orange LED all the time. My seat was on the upper deck with less seats and less people. I think it is always better to choose such seats. Being seated at the last two rows nearby the toilet (82E) might not be really pleasant due to the smell.

"split my family up"

(United Kingdom)

Singapore Airlines split my family up despite booking several months in advance for a round trip from Heathrow to Singapore. The plane is quiet and food was quite good too. I thought the seating was poor because it is obviously designed with no thought to Westerners that are tall or full bodied and seat legroom is worse than other airlines. The service from the cabin crew was clinical and without a smile most of the time. In future I will not use Singapore Airlines.

"after 5-6 hours my rear is just numb"

(Singapore)

The new SQ seats are hard. I fly regularly the SIN-Paris leg on Economy and after 5-6 hours my rear is just numb I have to get up to let the blood flow. Not only is the seat hard but the extremely limited incline of the backrest only allows your back to rest in a technically still sitting position. And that is hard for a 12-13 hour journey. I don't understand how SQ could have gotten this part so wrong.

"seat was nice and square shaped"

(New Zealand)

B777-300ER AKL-SIN and B777-200ER SIN-DEL. The 777-200 Economy Class seat was nice and square shaped meaning that it was not narrow like the new Singapore Airlines Economy Class. And it had more leg room and better lumbar support. I think the older Economy Class is much better than the new one.

"fell far short"

(South Africa)

Fell far short of the standards expected on Singapore Airlines. Two weeks later my knees still ache.

"seats are solid yet not uncomfortable"

(United Kingdom)

I prebook my seat Row 42 or 43 as I use the toilets frequently due to a medical condition. I always find that the seats are solid yet not uncomfortable. Plenty of luggage storage above the seat and accessibility easy too. Egress from the seat is easy and the service is second to none.

"find the width of the seat quite uncomfortable"

(Singapore)

Being small I find the width of the seat quite uncomfortable. Did not recline my seat because of children seated behind. Once the seat in front is reclined the space is even more restricted and stepping out of your seat proved more challenging. If I can help it will not fly on A330 but unfortunately it's the kind of aircraft that SQ flies for the Taipei route.
