Folks
Since my recent flights I noticed a few thngs that might be improved in the suites, and I'd be interested to know if others feel the same or not.
o When seated for a meal, I just could not get in the right position. I felt I was too low in the seat, and I couldn't get the table close enough.
o I miss the writing sets that you get in F.
o There are a lot more strorage places and cubby holes in the windows suites compared to the suites in the middle.
o The beds are rather narrow deterring sleeping on your side. I could not see any logistical reason why the bed could not have been made wider, although it would have mde the 'bedside table' area smaller.
o When the middle cabins are made into a double bed, as far as I could tell the middle partition is about another 8" higher than the bed itself. Does this partition move up or down?
o I like that SIA have chosen a manual solution to the doors and suite partitions (middle suites) rather than Emirates' solution electric everthing in their suites. The Emirates solution innevitably led to clunkiness with squeaky operation, and it really isn't necessary IMHO.
o Did anyone ever figure out how to adjust the air coming out of the vents?
o Although I've seen mention that needing to ask the crew to do a bed deployment is a PITA for some, personally I found that the crew were mostly excellent at mind reading for this. Also, the recommendation by another SQTalker to have your bed deployed in a spare suite is a great idea.
o Best suite? Well I really did prefer row 1 over row 3. In any row other than 1 or 4, with the doors and/or blinds open, I felt I would be easily inadvertently looked upon. In row 4, and to some extent I found in row 3, you will experience galley noise. I didn't feel in anyway that the stairs being adjacent to row 1 was a problem for me. There's definitely the least amount of traffic there. Although row 3A/F have three windows, I didn't really feel that I missed it when I only had two. A further benefit of the window 3A/F and 4A/F suites is that, if the middle 2C/D or 3C/D suites are empty (all were on my three flights) you can run the moving map display on adjeacnt middle suite while you watch the AVOD on your own.
o The three flights I have travlled on have had 7, 4 and 6 suites occupied respectively. Is this indicative or was I lucky?
I will probably think of other things, but that's my list for now!
Cheers, Howard

deltaflyingprof, that is what happens if you write a message too early on a sunday morning 
And just remember, when at the lounge, ask how full is the load. If you see any empty seat, once aboard, tell the crew that you want the empty suite near you to be your bedroom.
