Let me get this straight. You're going to pick an airline solely based on
the amount of shopping you can do on a 2 or 3 hour layover to MNL, since you
don't care much about lounges. I guess I just don't understand your
priorities. Personally, there are a lot of other criteria that are way more
important than maximizing shopping during a layover.

It's one criterion.

I've flown SQ, KE, OZ, and CX in steerage to MNL (as well as BR's
Evergreen Deluze). I will not fly SQ again, as the legroom was
abysmal. For the others, the experience in steerage was more or less
the same (some people are big on IFE; I'm not), so the home airport
experience becomes a differentiating factor. And yes, shopping is
important; the prices for Cuban cigars in duty free at HKG are
excellent, and the selection is good ;-)

But this time around the experience in steerage was so uncomfortable
that I want to consider trying a premium economy product, and wondered
if there was anything else besides BR.

Thanks again.
