I haven't seen leg room resreiction of SeatGuru. Can anyone point to an evaluation there which would have helped the OP avoid his problem? |

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

Thank you. Those boxes are for the entertainment systems - the downside of having one of the best inflight systems around, on-demand movies in economy. They seem to be placed every few rows. As far as I remember they are usually under aisle seats in the outer rows of seats. They may be somewhere in the central rows but I never fly there (being a window seat fan on longhaul). There are so many I think you will have trouble finding out where they all are. If you are doing seat allocation at checkin you can ask to avoid them, but I think if you book your seat online or over the phone in advance it think it's just luck. It may even vary between 747 models (and of course some long hauls are not 747s) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

The airlines may just have changed that habit. I may be able to get center section aisle seats though. |

I don't fly there so don't know. But I would guess that they would be down one side of the central section, so maybe all the left aisle central seats area clear. of all the right aisle ones. Have you looked at the SQ website, the online seat request section? It is quite detailed and just may show the boxes (though it probably doesn't) -- Posted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com |

go to www.seatguru.com they usually have the good info, though I can't quite reconc ile their seat plans for US Airways with the US Airways seat plans ;-( For some reason seatguru does not have the limted legroom note for electronics boxes for 747 as they do for Airbus 330. See the comparison under the Qantas listings where both types plane are flown. On the 330 it is noted that "entertainment" boxes are placed under seats A,D,G, and K. There is no such info for 747 as listed for Singapore aircraft or any other 747 seat maps. |
