Very interesting and might come in very handy

I wonder where they are getting the 77W? When do the new 77W deliveries start next year?

What's with the inconsistency?

[SQ228]

Clearly SQ would like to use the 77W on AMS but seem to have higher priorities in the way of it. This is the second plan to introduce it on the route. The first one got abandoned to offer a 4th daily LHR flight.

I'm guessing the switching of craft used on other routes from 77W to A380 and vice versa opened up some gaps in the 77W rotations. Because a return trip of SIN-AMS-SIN takes in excess of 24 hours, you need more than one available craft to offer a daily service. SQ's usual practice is to offer same craft every day but some other airlines use alternating days different craft, like QF, for example.

77W is loaded but no First Awards...

Maybe this is the key: There are no F seats loaded and when one selects the seat map, rows 1 and 2 show as Business Class!
