A380 basinet seats ?
Does anyone know which seats on the A380 are the basinet ones and/or which ones are the bulkhead seats ?
I'm also a bit confused as to the difference between the exit and bulkhead seats on the A380. I'll be flying with a 8 month old baby so would like a basinet or bulkhead seat.
Looking at the layout of the seating plan on the Singapore Air website (I bought my tickets on it) it doesn't say which ones are the basinet ones (I assume this is because they have already been booked) but the one I guess would be the bulkhead/basinet ones also seem to be the exits one for which under 15s are banned from having.
Can anyone help ? Thanks

Re: A380 basinet seats ?
I would not assume you will get offered a basinett just for travelling with a baby. I would suggest calling Singapore airline customer services and make a request for one to be 100% sure. Then they will allocate you with the correct seats if available.

Re: A380 basinet seats ?
It doesn't just happen automatically, you have to ask for it. Although if you turned up at the airport with no seats I'm sure they would try their best to shuffle people for you.
When we've flown with Qantas we've asked for the basinet seats months in advance. Every time they tell us they've got our request but there's no guarantee until you check in. Apparently if they were overbooked they'd go to the youngest babies. Both time we've flown with Qantas there have hardly been any babies on board and getting a basinet wasn't a problem. We've been flying Oz to LA to Canada though.
