Singapore Airlines Business Class Boeing 787-10

These seats recline into a fully flat bed with a good level of privacy, aided by high walls around each seat. The seats are staggered, so window seats come in two configurations, alternating between closer to the window and more exposed to the aisle. The seats are relatively narrow at 20 inches wide, but retractable armrests can add extra width. Couples would be best in seats D & F in rows 11, 14, 16, 18 and 20. Do note, row 16 is without a window.

Upon request, you'll receive a Penhaligon amenity kit containing essential skincare products.

Qatar Airways Business Class - Inflight Experience

On board Qatar Airways, you can expect designer amenity kits made by French perfumer Diptyque, as well as a set of branded Qatar pyjamas on long overnight flights. In terms of the onboard dining experience, Qatar offers the ability for you to pre-order your meal in advance, while you can also experience their superb signature service.

Qatar Airways Business class Airbus A350

Qatar Airways’ A350 is fitted with Q-Suites, widely regarded (and voted) as the world’s best Business Class. There are no overhead bins in the centre section; however, this should not be an issue as there is sufficient cabin space for your bags. This cabin is in a unique 1-2-1 pattern with the centre pairs alternatively forward and rear facing. We would recommend Rows with seats E & F, which transform into Qsuite’s famous double bed. Each suite has a sliding door which adds an extra degree of privacy to the Q-Suite experience.

Due to the length of the flight, you can expect 2 meal services; however, dining is on-demand so you can choose to hold your meal until a time that you prefer – the traditional Arabic mezze is worth a taste. For beverages you can expect a range of great wines, starting with Champagne prior to take-off for a proper celebration of the trip ahead. For a full review of the Q-Suite product please see this review by Point Hacks.

Qatar Airways Business Class Boeing 787-9

Your flight on Qatar Airways' Boeing 787-9 will involve flying their 'Mini Q-Suite' - a fully lie-flat bed with a sliding door for maximum privacy.

There are 30 seats arranged in a 1-2-1 configuration - you'll notice the spaciousness of the cabin, as there are no storage bins in the centre of the plane. There will still be enough storage though!

The seat features wireless charging/power outlets, multiple storage options, Bluetooth audio, and a super-crisp entertainment screen.

If travelling as a couple, we would definitely recommend the centre pair of seats - they do face away from each other, but you are still able to interact on board. If travelling solo, the window seats are definitely the pick, as they face towards the windows and afford you the maximum level of privacy.
