I'm going to refrain in a tit for tat. Romulus, you must be happier when you pick up your car when it's serviced and they throw in the 'complimentary' vacuum and car wash.

Below the aircraft furnishings is the matrix of engineered components, wiring and structure that makes up a modern airliner and hidden from pax view. The stuff we care about.

There is no doubt the offerings from SIA, MAS and CX make up a formidable marketing product. The IFE, mood lighting, seats, menu's etc all add up to a great air travel experience, oh, and the girls.

But back to the aircraft, if you only had seen some actions and heard some conversations that I have had to endure and undo over the years, it would make you cringe at what might be happening under your plush seat at 38000'. Hey but what the hell, you left on time and arrived on time, ate well and watched a nice movie. Served by a delightful young lady and all this was cheaper than the Qantas fare. You didn't even come close to falling out of the sky.

From a purely engineering point of view, it's not that 'fair' playing field.
