Singapore Airline has boxes installed underneath seats
I understand Singapore Airline's 747 flying between SFO and Hong Kong has
entertainment boxes under seats. Can anyone confirm exact box locations so that we can avoid it. Thank you. |

First, the entertainment control is not under the seats. It's in the galley. Second, all seat have custom controls and thus some kind of box attached. Third, so what? Why would you want to avoid it? |

OP can wear a tin foil hat to ward off the evil rays. Let me try that again. I believe the poster is referring to the shoebox sized consructions under some aisle seats - I think only in wide bodied jets - that can impede your leg room if you're really tall (doesn't affect me) or reduce space for a bag if you put it under your feet. I've noticed them in recent years on TG but don't know about other airlines. Cheers, George W. Russell Bangalore |

I assume they are some sort of router or wiring hub. They do get in the way a bit on SQ 747s, but you can still get your feet under the seat beside the box. This topic is also in rec.travel.europe and for some reason my replies and some others about the location of boxes but for some reason those messages did not post here. -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

Limit and reduce toe room to 6" max. So it Singapore Air on all 747-400, under center aisle seats. |

I suspect that the OP is concerned that the space being used for the equipment under the seat ahead of him may render toe seat difficult to use since he could be unable to shelter any of his legs under the seat as some SOB ahead tries to crush him by reclining. |

A good resource is seatguru.com. It shows the good and bad seats on
most airlines and plane configurations. It doesn't say anything about entertainment boxes on Singaport 747s though. For those making fun of the question, I'll recall a nasty trip from SFO to Heathrow over a decade ago on Virgin Atlantic, with their then novel personal entertainment systems. The electronics box took up most of the room under the seat in front of me, cramping legroom. Because of the limited legroom, they decreed our carry-on too large, and we had to repack on the jetway into my daypack. With the added contents, the agent then decreed the daypack had become too large. I must have given him quite a look, because he hastily backed down. However, my wife's tissues didn't make it into my daypack, and the plane didn't have any on board. And she had a cold. It was a memorable flight. Anyway, underseat electronic boxes are no joke. I didn't think that happened any more. "April 2007" wrote: I understand Singapore Airline's 747 flying between SFO and Hong Kong has entertainment boxes under seats.
