SQ B747-400 withdrawal thread

[wsssaero]

time to go home states sq 12 november 22.. so tired my jet lag aint even over..

sigh i hope my seat wont be screwed

It's amazing that almost every post of yours is complains about the SQ 747. Yes, we all know that that plane is old and tired. If you hate the 747 so much why not use the A345 back to LAX...

The JumboJets aren't even old and tired. By global standards, they're midway through life. By SQ standards, they are old. The airframes are fine, but it would make no sense to spend loads of money updating the interiors just a year or two before SQ will turn them over to the new owners.

The whining is becoming more and more annoying. I still enjoy flying with the SpaceBeds, though admittedly not as much as with the new long-haul Business Class. Now that I have an iPad, I don't even care about AVOD vs non-AVOD anymore. The service is still great regardless.

I think the fact that there are many airlines to choose from between LAX and SIN,

and the OP consistently chooses to fly ( and whine ) about SQ, reveals a lot about the OP

I would ignore OP but great entertainment

Same here, got op-up to First Class again on SQ212 albeit this time with J class menu. Still have to say my preference goes to the skysuit over the A380 J seats. The sliding table and straight sleeping position is so convenient and comfortable for the neck.

I will miss the 744 dearly ... so fortunate that had an unexpected chance of flying them in F due to the A380 saga.

I like ANA, OZ is good if the equipment is new, UA is hell.

Go for United MM and show SQ how disappointed you are...

OZ F is amazing. UA F no comparison. Never flown ANA, but OZ gives you nice pajamas you can take with you (ANA won't let you take them). My OZ F flights in May 2010 were absolute perfection (service, food, comfort all 10/10), and I like their 747 F layout more than SQ's.

Give JAL a try if flying F, both CGK and LAX are launch destinations for their new 77W. My parents just flew CGK-NRT-CGK not too long ago in their new F and loved it. Although, I'm not sure how convenient the connecting times are...

[Rejuvenated]

I LOVE ANA F.

So do I : http://www.sqtalk.com/forum/showthread.php?t=7948

Flew on two MEGATOPs last month, operating SQ 11/12. My third time (at least, since I started keeping score) on 9V-SMU and my first (I think) on 9V-SPE. Speaking strictly of the seats, I'm not sure whether I like the SkySuite more than new F on B777-300ER; I'm certainly perfectly comfortable in the SkySuite, no complaints about seat comfort. The interiors felt slightly dated by SQ standards, but that's not an aircraft issue as much as an interiors issue (KE's 744's with updated interiors don't feel particularly dated). The IFE screens were a little fuzzy and the SkyShow not as good as on newer equipment; the carpets were a little stained too. But other than that, no issues.

I've only got two more trips on MEGATOPs coming up. Gonna miss them.

I flew with SQ for the first time on 15th Nov, connecting from KUL to MEL. First leg was 9V-SRI. To MEL was B744 9V-SMU. I was over the moon when I saw 9V-SMU...hahas!! the crews was amazingly awesome and the flight wasn't full. Took lots of pic. My fever relapsed while in the flight..missed my tub of ice cream..=.=

Coming back yesterday, thanks to A380 fiasco, SQ decided to swapped my flight to B744...don't know I should be happy or otherwise. But a blessing in disguise maybe. Got 9V-SPJ. 9V-SPN was also at MEL airport. All seats max-ed out. Apparently, I called up the SQ call centre no booking for Melbourne morning flight can be altered till 17th Dec.

The chicken pie was nice...catering was all right. Both B744s are awesome although the interior was a bit dated but still all right. Only problem...the KrisWorld system were hard to read and the PTV can't be moved to suit your eye level.

Double doses of B744... Overall, an amazing experience with SQ....never better..

SQ...A great way to fly...
