Johannesburg to Singapore

[CarbonMan]

Hello CarbonMan

Please take a look at http://www.airliners.net/photo/Singa...ef54db6b3a67da

Is this the plane you flew between Singapore and Perth ?

pw10, yes that's the refitted 772.

Thx viraj735

You help a lot !! I will be getting of the plane on the Skytrain onto the new aircraft and know that my luggage is in save hands !!

Your flight will not necessarily fly into T2. It is quite possible that you will arrive into T3 and not need to use the skytrain at all.

It depends on where your particular plane is being sent to next after your flight from JNB. If its next destination is Auckland, for example, it will land in T3 as it will then depart from T3. If your plane is headed next to Bangkok, then yes, you would arrive into T2 and need to use skytrain.

They will tell you before landing which terminal you will arrive at.

Take a look at the 'SQ Y menus' thread in the 'SQ Catering and Amenities' sub forum. It'll give you an idea of what to expect. However, I'd recommend getting a bite before your JNB-SIN flight as I've heard the catering on the route is often subpar.

And last thing !!

What sort of food will be served ??

Some, if not all, of the SIN-PER vv flights are being facilitated with the refitted 772s. Perhaps someone can confirm if ALL of them are - I've only done 4 flights on that route in recent weeks and they have all been on the re-fitted ones.

Okay. But I posted at exactly the same time as ek&sq. The bit about security is correct, in any case.

[viraj735]

You will need to leave the plane and, if by chance, it is the same aircraft out of Terminal 3 at SIN, you will still need to go thru security at the gate before leaving for PER.

This is not the case as the JNB-SIN flight is operated by the 9V-SV* aircraft as mentioned above by ek&sq and the SIN-PER with either the 9V-SQ* or 9V-SR* aircraft.

You will not need to claim and recheck your luggage. Even if you have to change gates or even terminal, 50 mins will be enough time.

On my online booking reference the flights show both aircrafts are 777-200. So that does not mean that I will be on the same plane ? Will 50 min be enough to get on the next plane or not ??

Must I collect my baggage from the one plane to the other ??


Will the different flights be in the same terminal ?

1. Your JNB-SIN flight will be on the SpaceBed business class configuration (purple seats) and your connecting flight to PER will be on the new regional business class configuration even though they are both 772's. You won't be on the same exact plane. In economy class on the JNB-SIN flight you will have blue-purple seats with a 5" monitor with AVOD. The SIN-PER flight will feature the newly refitted economy class with gold/yellow seats and a 9" monitor also with AVOD.

2. You can check your bags all the way through to PER so you won't have to collect them at SIN.

3. You will land at T2 from JNB and will have to take the skytrain across to T3 for your onward flight to PER. 50 minutes is ample time.

Have a good flight.

Yes you will have to deplane in SIN as the JNB-SIN & SIN-PER are 2 different flights, with possibly different aircraft.

Just to clarify that 777-200ER is supposed to be refitted with super wide seats and 200 refitted with regional seats?

Sorry ek&sq. I should have been more specific. I'm flying from johannesburg to Singapore and then to Perth AU. So I won't deplane at Singapore ??

When will the aircraft be upgraded ? And when will we see the finish product. ?


Thanks for the help !!

Ps How is the economy food on the flight ???
