Just be aware that SIA now has A380s where all economy seats are on the lower deck...as per the seat map rubbeldiekatz posted above.

Not on the seatmap you posted. They have 2 layouts now...one has all business on the upper deck. It definitely does some London flights.

Just for clarification there are 2 layouts:

Some economy upstairs: http://www.singaporeair.com/pdf/seatmaps/airbus380.pdf

...and ALL economy downstairs:
http://www.singaporeair.com/pdf/seat...-upperdeck.pdf

Depends which flight you book which one you'll get. Looks like the morning flight from SIN-LHR normally gets the second option so avoid that if you want to sit upstairs.

Flown with Singapore Airlines many many times and have been on the A380.

Not that much difference other than the bigger size of course.

Always happy with the service from Singapore Airlines, especially with a toddler, can't fault them :):thumbup:
