The Final SQ Boeing 747-400 flights - 06 April 2012

With 1B right in front of 2A, does this mean 2F will have the best seat pitch in the house?

3D's gone now. Probably gone to someone from the Lion city....

[B727]

I dunno.

They should've bestowed the final honor on the Grande Dame of the SQ fleet by letting it be designated as SQ 860/863. It is after all HKG where she will perform her final revenue flight. I just don't see the point of redesignating it SQ 747 even though it is a B747, cuz then what's the significance of SQ 748 for the return flight (unless somewhere down the line SQ will be belatedly leasing in 748s just like they did with A333s )?

At its peak, the 747 did represent all the best things about SQ in terms of product innovation (before they jumped the...ahem...whale with all that A380 class beyond first hogwash). For me, it would be a nostalgia flight if anything, but it's not like we'll be making a checker board approach into Kai Tak as well (which would've rendered a window seat on this final flight priceless)

April 6th is also a Full Moon Friday and as full moons denote completion, it is a fitting date for the SQ B747 to bid her legion of faithful fans adieu. By the way, I was just looking at another Asian carrier whose F-class arrangement bears an eerie resemblance to the SQ SkySuites.

Was about to book SQ748 in F, but then apparently some selfish gits have booked all the window seats

7/12 and counting...

[Calcjr23]

$700+ for a economy return and redemption on Y/J savers/standard are not available. It's even cheaper to fly the 380 or 77W. Really disappointed. Guess i'll just save up for JL's 787 inaugural.

Oh, watch out, the HUGE one might bite...

Nah. The HUGE one is too nice for that

[/SQFG takes a bow, as in one fell swoop has disarmed the HUGE one]

4hrs 45mins

Oooh.. didn't notice that.

[Kyo]

Nah... 1B is where the people who don't really know this layout, but THINK they do sit

Oh, watch out, the HUGE one might bite...

And it was good to see my rickety old 1B seat again.

Rejoice in the knowledge that the Good Gits snagged all the windows...

[SQflyergirl]

But we all know 1B is where the big hitters sit...

Sorry, didn't make myself clear. I tried calling the SQ office but they insisted it's only available for booking through SQ.com

Is this true, or am i being told crap?

Dunno if it's crap, but it is indeed bookable thru SQ.com (which is thankfully working at this point in time...)
