If the article is correct, which I'm sure SQ would have made sure of, the flight will be served by one of the SV-series 772ER refurbs. More and more A330s are leaving the fleet due to leases expiring and the 772s are taking over as they lose their previous long haul roles.
Capacity won't suffer greatly as it is almost the same in both cabins. The big winners are J passengers who get the 77W-like seats, although admittedly with old IFE. The big losers are Y passengers who get a 15 year old plane with new seat covers that are actually less comfortable than the ones they replaced. Probably explains why only "Business Traveller" is being told about this!

Originally posted by FN-GM View PostPersonally I would rather have regional J with the newer IFE. I wouldn't be sleeping on SQ245 so would be wide awake needing something to do.

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostIt's a very good point, and why I hate that MEL suffers it's 772 on SQ207/8, both daytime flights, effectively. But of course, if you add a packed Y cabin and the most uncomfortable seats in the fleet to the equation, well....

I'm holding out hope but not expecting it...
