If you actually compare like with like, you might find that the SQ central suites also have no windows...

Originally posted by singaporeairlinesboi View PostSingapore Suite is smaller then Emirates? It does not seem like it, EK suite looks smaller and is way more claustrophobic then SIA. SIA Suite Class: Pitch is 81.0" Width. 35.0" 12 private cabins with 27" x 78" stand-alone flat-bed, separate from the seat. Emirates Suites : Pitch 86.0" Width 23.0" . And this is only for the seat and not the cabin itself. One can clearly see that SQ's suite class seat is bigger then Emirates. Besides the sliding door, SQ added 2 small window to make the suite more open and not to enclosed, while EK only has a sliding door. Once those door are closed you are in a small and tiny compartment. .... If someone can prove me wrong, that SIA'S suites are smaller then Emirates, i would gladly step down and say you are in fact correct. Look at the pictures and tell me again if you think EK suite is bigger then SIA.
...
SQ's stupid design on handles on the door juts out of the door whereas on EK, it is flushed. I almost dislocated my elbow when returning to my SQ Suite just as the plane hit turbulence as I was sitting down!
Yes SQ does have the little windows on the side with the pull down shades, and yes it is actually bigger than EK's. Measurements don't really mean anything. Its the actual feel of it that matters. And as far as I am concerned, SQ's Suites seem smaller than EK's.
So in effect, I prefer EK's Suite to SQ's.

I'm not accusing anyone... but have YOU been on either product yet to be so defensive? I just gave up a award flight on New Years' day from Singapore to London on SQ Suites because I really am not that impressed with their overall product.Last edited by singaporeairlinesboi; 10 August 2008, 05:45 PM.

Lols i was referring to the 2 sides windows of the suite. Not the actual Aircraft window where you can look outside. Im actually talking about the these windows. The one where Sam is sticking his hand out from.........

I do agree with singaporeairlinesboi that SQ's Suites appear to be the superior product. Although Guy Betsy may say otherwise, I think that SQ's are more spacious. Also, with the colours chosen, they seem much more classy. I've always felt EK's suite looks "cheesy." No matter what others may say, the mini bar seems cheap to me. And the light-coloured wood just looks terrible IMO. But in the end, we have different opinions, and I respect thatSuch a way about you, My Singapore Girl.

One similarity between you and singaporeairlinesboi is that your passionate defense of SQ products in this case is based only on what you've read or seen. Fair enough, but realize that actual experience does count for a lot on SQT. Opinion based solely on reading tends to be less convincing when someone says he or she can compare based on first-hand experiences. The sharing of first-hand experiences and impressions is why travel forums exist, after all.‘Lean into the sharp points’

A pre-formed perspective will have a lot to play in your judgement. Even though you can go and try both airlines to see which is better, if you have that 'SQ will be better' or 'EK will be better' mentality even before you board the flight, its not going to help much. In the end even if the other airline has a better product you will still find something to pick on it for.
It also has a lot to do with personal preference. A few examples: Maybe you like this colour and I don't. Maybe I like leather seats and you prefer cloth ones. Maybe you like to be given lots of attention by the crew but I think that they come too often and it disturbs me.

I always hear an announcement on SQ to the effect that PAXs are not allowed to congregate in groups on board...a security issue
