I easily imagine EK to let each passenger sign some sort of personal damage/injury waiver which basically says that you can shower but at your own risk. With that EK takes no responsibility and that's it. If you get hurt, well, you took the risk.

For Y, it seems like an improvement for EK and the seats look similar to SQ's. However, knowing EK, I"m sure they'll find a way to make it cramped :tongue3
J also looks like a nice upgrade from what EK has now but its not exactly class leading I would say.
For suites, I think SQ's still look bigger and more elegant. EK's suite does not look too different from the one fitted on the B772LR. But those showers look great (except for the 5 min. limit)! The in-seat mini bars are a bit tacky and the onboard lounge is too gimmicky imo, and as Qatar and other airlines have showed us, it might not last. But still, the products are impressive, and both airlines have done well.Last edited by sqforever; 31 July 2008, 12:27 PM.Such a way about you, My Singapore Girl.

For a plane of this size the pitch in Economy is pretty bad to say the least. All the talk of giving people more space when the plane was launched was countered by the "more-space-more-people" cynical view that seems to actually be the case, but no surprise there i suppose - i was on the cynics side all along.
It's just disappointing that 32-33" inch is still seen as acceptable when its just not.
Business Class is a mess, no other word for it. Different pitches, different space between seats and a quite frankly stupid "minibar" idea.

It's pretty clear that only EK can afford to have a shower on board.
The amount of water to be loaded on the plane is quite huge i suppose.
I read somewhere JL is now using pottery and cutlery lighter to reduce weight. All other carriers are doing their best to limit the total weight and i can't see how they - but EK - could install shower with this (comprehensible) policy.There's only One way to fly.... SINGAPORE AIRLINES!
If SQ is too expensive, the other way to fly is Qatar Airways

I must say that SIA really slipped up by not putting a bar on board for both F and J. I fly VS a lot and its really a great way to to spend some time dring a long haul flight. The shower I bet will spend most of its time not being used due to rough weather etc. Maybe SIA should keep the pressure up for future a380 deliveries by adding the bars - forget the showers though!

I think the reason why is because there is no room on the a380 for bars etc. The new products of SIA takes up too much space (suites and business class) IF they were to squeeze in a bar, it would decrease the amounts of the premium seats and economy. Less seats means less revenue i suppose. SQ is in it to make money off a380. A Bar is a nice touch, but why need it when a SQ girl can bring you your whine?

2. The in seat mini-bars are a nice touch.
3. EK had put in more thought on their Suite design than SQ, really.
