About time.....

[Chesty]

Finally Dubai gets a decent aircraft.

[SQ228]

I thought we were supposed to be getting two to MEL:

One to replace 77W on 217/218 at end of March,
another to replace 747 on 237/228 at start of July

Has this changed yet again?

[FlyBoy]

Who knows..

SQ228 really should be an A380 now.. It is the best flight for connecting to Europe.

[FN-GM]

How many Re-Configured 777-300 is currently in the fleet? I thought there was only 1, are they doing work on more? Do they have the same seats as the 77W?

[SQ218]

Not sure about Y but J is the same as the A330 I believe

Not sure about Y but J is the same as the A330 I believe

J seats are identical models but different versions. The retrofitted 772/773 Weber seats are wider.

Y seats on the 333 are similar to those on the 77W/388 but again different version - narrower. Retrofitted 772/773 Y seats are just reupholstered and probably fitted with the 9" PTV.

[SQ228]

Who knows..

SQ228 really should be an A380 now.. It is the best flight for connecting to Europe.

Thank you!!! Finally someone agrees with me

First Class seats are the same as the one on B777-300ER.

[Kyo]

Argh... why August... PEK in July and I'll redeem

[milehighj]

Apologies, I'm rather out of the loop on the 73A. Is the re-config programme back underway? How many airframes have been re-config'ed? What registrations?

Why wouldn't others agree ?

-SYG went in just 2 weeks ago. -SYF is still performing its lone ranger runs

[itami]

Yes, -SYF has been running on SQ408/407 constantly since 31 Oct 2010, except on 3 & 4 Nov 2010, when it did SQ237/SQ228.
