Cabin & Seat Selection Tips

First Class

• Experience: Usually located at the front of the Upper Deck, with excellent privacy. Singapore Airlines and Emirates offer enclosed suites with full-flat beds, and in some cases, convertible double beds.
• Tips:
• • For the quietest experience, choose the first row suites.
  • Couples may prefer centre suites that can be converted into a double bed.

Business Class

• Layout: Often 1-2-1 with direct aisle access. Upper Deck window seats generally have extra storage bins.
• Tips:
• • Solo travellers should choose single window seats for more privacy.
  • The rear section of the Upper Deck is quieter for rest.
  • Avoid seats near galleys and lavatories for less disturbance.

Premium Economy

• Comfort: More legroom and wider seats than Economy, often in a 2-4-2 layout.
• Tips:
• • Bulkhead rows offer the most legroom but may have slightly narrower seats due to tray tables in the armrest.
  • Avoid seats adjacent to lavatories to reduce foot traffic noise.

Economy Class

• Upper Deck (2-4-2):
• • Quieter with fewer passengers per row. Window seats usually have side storage bins, ideal for personal items.
  • Better views and slightly less noise.
• Main Deck (3-4-3):
• • Higher seat count, good for families or groups.
  • Over-wing seats may experience more vibration and limited views.
• Tips:
• • Choose “perfect window” seats (aligned with windows) for the best views.
  • For quick disembarkation, sit closer to the front cabin doors.
  • Aisle seats are convenient for mobility on long flights.
