Would agree with all points made above. Reguler user on both EK and SQ to Far East through Manchester all Business Class. Only downside I have had recently on this route with SQ is that the 777 they use are not as new as those used by EK and you stop in Munich. On the other hand Singapore is a better run airport IMHO than DXB, so you pays your money and takes your choice. I will continue to fly with both of them on both company money, and my own, and can say no more than that !.
