I flew on Singapore's A380 and A350 in Business a while back. That A380 Business seat was astoundingly large. You have so much room to move around, adjust posture, stretch, etc.
Even their A350 business seat didn't have quite as much sitting-room, much of the space being taken up by part of the built-in furniture.
Given the option, I'd pick the A380 over the A350.
- skissane 6y agoOnly time I've ever flown business class internationally was LAX to SYD on a Qantas A380. I really enjoyed it. 'Tis a pity I'm unlikely to get the opportunity again any time soon. (Unless I want to pay for it myself, and it is a lot of money.) A lot of employers nowadays seem to restrict business class travel to VP level and above (or sometimes the really exceptional IC, as in "distinguished engineer" status). If you fly economy enough, you may get enough status to get upgraded occasionally; if you don't fly often, you've got little hope. My Dad tells me how, back in the 1990s, the company he worked for let anyone (even the most junior IC) fly business whenever the flight was long enough (and all US-Australia flights were). Such a policy was not uncommon back then, much rarer today.
