G'day all, Back from the UK via SIA A380 both ways (and B777 BN - SG). Great
experience, even in cattle. Anyone planning to fly in it I would suggest you
get on the online checkin as soon as it opens (48 hrs B4 the dep time) and
grab the upper deck window, because the space widens they have a neat shelf
beside the seat and a light storage space as well which comfortably holds a
large soft carry bag or a laptop bag. The inflight entertainment screens
are big and easy to see, all selections start when you ask for them. Leg
space is slightly bigger too. All in all a lot better than the B747s

That's similar setup to the upper in the 747 then, but would prefer
lower deck in the 747 as there is a lot less noise.

Good to know.
