While anyone can argue the merits of EK v. EY v. SQ for #1, how you put BA F (never mind UA F) on the same level as LH 744 is mind-boggling.

Thanks for sharing the pictures,  really enjoyed I never flew EK F or EY A380 F but EK F looks like more bling as they say, oh did the Flight attendant feel bad for your KSML?!

Yes , but told me to write to the airline, which of course won't make a difference

@AJK if I had a choice to fly EY 787 or A380 in the future, I'd have a tough decision to make. I'm actually leaning towards the 787 or even the 777. Unless they fix the seat. The only real difference it would make, is Shower + lots of space VS a seat that can recline, but no shower and less space

Not that it's the be all end all, but Lucky disagrees:

Then across from that is a super-comfortable chair, which reclines a good amount.

Not sure what your -1'ing...

That's a quote. His opinion, after flying was that it had a pretty decent recline.

Even if it doesn't recline 145 degrees, I'm not sure I'd mind as long as there is decent recline.

I can only speak for the LH F flight out of FRA but it looks like they had the best KSML what I had in EK F and what I see from EY

JFK-DXB EK served a Bornstein KSML, which was horrible and unacceptable.
what can you expect from an Elal company?

did you find it to be problematic that the head of the bed is at the aisle? are all beds like that or do the aisle seats have reversed beds as well?

Not at all, first of all the doors are closed, if someone really wants they could put the pillow on the other side.

All beds reach the aisle

This is how the bench looks like, on the other side is the next rooms bed, behind that partition towards the door, the seat in that suite is reversed but the bed still reaches the aisle.

The bed stretches from window till the door

i know they all reach the aisle and theoretically one can place the pillow where they want. however, the placement of the tv and seatbelt works with your head at the aisle for the window seat. the question remains whether its switched on aisle seats

looks like seat belt is placed closer to window, TV control is also placed closer to the window

so the guess is that the head will be close to the window? if thats the case, that seat is preferable to me
