cartertucker Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We are booking flights with Singapore airlines & have the choice of the Airbus A380 or the Boeing 777 So.....Which one is better? :unsure: (P.s...I have been on the 380, but not the 777) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 It depends which one has the better flight times. We flew on SA A380 and it was great. Not done the 777 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartertucker Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Well, they both have suitable flight times, but the problem are the seats...They are already so booked that im struggling to have us sitting together :huh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karen and Colin Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We went last year with Qantas and out on the 777 & returning on the A380. The A380 is a lot quieter but we didn't like the type of seats on the Qantas A380. We have booked our flights with Singapore on the A380 for our one way journey early Nov. It's all about the destination now!! I'm sure both will be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Mystery^Customer1974 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We were on a Boeing 777 from Manchester to Singapore great flight nice comfortable plane and again a 777 from Singapore to Perth Bit jealous at not having been on an A380 to be honest but I expect that they are probably very good.

cartertucker Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 How about changing flight day. How far in advance are you booking? Thanks, have tried that....What a pain the booking system is too, you have to input all passenger details each time you want to check another flight! :wacko: Its taking ages! We are booking for November, so im not suprised they are pretty full really :embarrassed: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cartertucker Posted September 2, 2011 Author Share Posted September 2, 2011 Exactly. As long as you get from A to B that is all that matters! I really wouldnt mind where I sit, but I will be 6 and a half months pregnant, with a 11 month old & would ideally like Husband to sit with me, to help out a little! :wacko: But also have a 8 & 18 year old.....Am thinking they may have to sit on there own together a few rows back....Not ideal, but not much choice :laugh: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest liltman Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 A380 all the way......... Suuuppppeeerrrrbbb.......... :yes: :cool: :biggrin: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest JK2510 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I used kayak when looking for flights. You still may have that problem of having to input the same old stuff. Moneysupermarket are good. Would it be worth a call to singapore airlines and explain the situation,find out the info ie seats together and when. It maybe worth a try?! Everyone's trying to escape the winter blues no doubt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi cartertucker... Have you tried emailing them..... :biggrin: I'm travelling on my own and mailed them and asked for more luggage allowance and to call me to which they did. A lady from Singapore rang, asked what my problems were and resolved them there and then. I also joined their Kris Flyer as well which may come in handy...... Try and you may get what you require... :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Karen and Colin Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 We booked our seats online using the Manage my booking tab. You have to input your surname and 6 letter Singapore reference (sorry if you have already tried this) we found it really easy and you can also put any special meal reqests in at that point also if you have any. We are flying on the 7th November is anyone else going that day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoandJon Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 If you haven't booked yet give Trailfinders a go - they can search for the best dates etc for you and sort out all the details I'm flying Singapore on the 23rd (A380), it was the earliest (relatively) cheap flight I could get with them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MARYROSE02 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Break the bank and go business class - then it does not matter which plane you fly on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you paying? :wink: The only one of our family going business class is the Satchdog - or at least the fare is akin to business class, she just doesn't get the movies, wine or meals...

Guest can36 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 we've just done the journey on the Airbus and it was great. call SA and get them to do the donkey work checking flights, times etc. and booking for you....plus they should be able to arrange bulkhead seats for you if you request a bassinet for your wee one - our youngest is 20 months and slept in the bassinet - freeing up hands and space for even more comfort.....good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ena Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 I have flown on A380 and 777 both are very comfortable and both with singapore airlines. A380 is quieter but loved both. You can't go wrong with either. Have a great trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si T Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 Flew on both last week with emirates. A380 by a country mile for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewels&john Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Hi there, we flew with Singapore Airlines to Australia, I wouldn't hesitate flying on the A380, it's so quiet, when we flew we booked our economy seats on the upper deck, there were 12 rows of economy, it felt like 1st class so so quiet and relaxing, the toilets were always free as well, the noise is so much quieter than the boing 777, the plane seems to feel so ancient after flying on the A380, on the upstairs the seating configuration is 2-4-2, that didn't bother me at all, hubby sat on an idle seat which was fine. Downstairs the seat configuration is 3-4-3, much more hustle & buss, hope this helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikyuu Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 if the 777 doesn't have touch screens, then go for that one. I just came over to the UK on the A380-800 and whoever decided to put touchscreens in the back of the seats needs to be shot! Can you imagine 24 hours of someone jabbing you in the back of the head?!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
