I used to fly United from New Zealand to Europe, a choice based on price. But boy do you pay, no leg room and bounced through their hubs as a domestic passenger once in US airspace! United used to offer two classes of coach, the more expensive upgrade offered more leg room, but not much. Singapore has always been more comfortable, but even with their track record, the A380 Singapore cabin offers more leg room and personal space overall than the 747 cabin design by Singapore. I see that Emirates will bring the A380 to Auckland as part of their Dubhai-Sydney-Auckland route. Can't wait for that. How true.

Singapore determined the seat pitch as has Emerates. I shudder to think what a US carrier would do with the seat pitch given what I have experienced on 747s.
