Singapore Airlines latest cabin products on the new B777-300ER (77WN) - 2013

[SQfanatic]

SQ632/633 to HND is operated by a B777-312 9V-SYL (Star Alliance Livery) instead of 77W while SQ828/831 and SQ910/917 is operated by 77WR (9V-SWP for PVG, 9V-SWM for MNL). Interesting swaps but fluid 77WR rotations.

Would you look at this:

Singapore Airlines (SIA) starting 13DEC16 plans to adjust operational aircraft on Singapore – Tokyo Narita route. From this date, SQ638/637 service will switch from 777-200ER to -300, operating on daily basis. SIA also operates 1 daily 777-300ER flight for Tokyo Narita market as SQ012/011.

SQ012 SIN0920 – 1705NRT 77W D
SQ638 SIN2355 – 0730+1NRT 773 D

SQ637 NRT1105 – 1745SIN 773 D
SQ011 NRT1455 – 2140SIN 77W D

Wow and not even back to basic 2006 77W. But hey no change to HND which has a 77WN for their night flight. I guess this is a sign as NRT lost an A380 and is increasing capacity. Still better than nothing (especially since SQ12/11 are 77WR)

Just got off SQ305, which was flown by 9V-SWM today. PEY cabin wasn't even 50% full; only about 12 pax.

However, the aircraft did feature 3D maps. They were life-changing. Who needs to fly premium when you can sit in the back with your 3D maps?

SQ638 will be operated by 77W in Oct. Dummy booking.

When I check tickets for PEK route today, I found something changed. From late March next year, SQ 800 (805) will be changed from 777-200 to -300. Also, the SQ 806 (801) will be changed into 777-300ER. I remember that SQ 806 was decided to operate by 77W from early this year, then they cancelled the plan. However, I think it is highly possibility this time, because more and more A350s have replaced the route which was originally operated by 77W.

In this case, all three daily flight for PEK will have F class. Is it really high occupancy for First class in Beijing route?

[SQfanatic]

NRT route is a 77W actually next month itself. Thanks for the heads up. Yup PEK had a 77WN at one point this year and went back to a 773. For now I will assume 2006 3-class 77W.

This is probably due to the trickle down effect of the 350 replacing the 77W on many routes, thus freeing up with 77W to replace the 773 on the routes they serve, which in turn displace the 330/772.

The 2006 77W is much better than region J on 773, especially on red eye flight like SQ 801.

I recently got to fly in Y on the recently refitted SWA and the regional SQN. While the in-flight entertainment and 3D maps (sorry SQFanatic) had no comparison, I actually liked the older seat better. I'm tall (6'2) and I guess there were a few more inches legroom on SQN which made it feel way more comfortable. Also the dining tray on SWA came right against my knee roll and seats felt lower and more crampier.

No worries, I respect your opinion. And wow I'm sorry to hear that happened. I hope nothing like that happens to me or my dad on the 77WN. Happy Holidays, and glad you made it safely. If you took pics feel free to post a TR hviswanathan

SWE has hatched as a 77WR.

Do have a look out typically SQ does have a 2013J to SYD on a regular basis but do note there could be occasional equipment swaps. I fly 231 and 222 and they've been on 2013J. You could try one end on 777 and another on a380

Good luck

At this season both SQ221/SQ231 and SQ222/SQ232 are served by A380, previous season SQ231/SQ222 were served by 77WN.

SQ231 when served by 77WN was nice but it was a sleeper service, so only one meal (breakky only) compared with SQ221 (dinner and breakky)

I am wondering who would fly SQ251/252 (A333) and SQ261/262 (772ER), with a different of few hours with SQ221/232 and SQ231/222 , so much different seat on J class (ie. flat bed vs old regional seat)

SQ318 was served by 9V-SWP yesterday which was a 77WR!

Hope this arrangement of having a 77WR to take over a 77WN is perm for SQ318 rather than a non-refitted 77W!

The last of the 19 A380 retrofits were completed in mid-2016, whereas SIA is not planning to complete the 777-300ER retrofits until late 2017. Both retrofit projects began in 2015.

It seems like the estimated completion for the 77W refit program will be late 2017. And according to this source, all 27 77Ws will be refitted to 77WR configuration, including the existing 77WNs.

[SQ228]

SWD hasn't seen any action for a week, so potentially undergoing refit.

SQ227/8 is now a 77WR flight, so that has freed up a 77WN which seems to have gone to SQ237/8. Now if they can just do something about SQ207/8...
