9V-SKH is currently operating to London as SQ322

Yes. So flightdata24 does not have the updated info 1/2 hr before departure.

[Not You]

Flightradar24 indicate that 9V-SKY will do sq322 in 30 mins time.

I will be flying SQ317 7 Aug and has reserved seat 9xDF but this morning I found out that it has been downgauged to Layout 1, from Layout 3. SQ322/317 has been having a long track of using 9V-SKU onward and I am hoping for 9V-SKZ. I cannot imagine how disappointed Suita Class Pax for not flying new F product. Looks like Y class is overbooked that it has to be downgauged to Layout 1 to accomodate mode Y class

That can't possibly be the reason. Layout 3 has more seats in both Y and PEY than Layout 1- an extra 18 seats between those two cabins. Layout 3 also has an extra 18 seats in J. The only cabin that reduces in the new configuration is Suites.

It is possible that they are switching between the 2 configs. Saw 9V-SKG fly back to SIN on SQ 222 from Sydney about 2 days ago. If they can switch for the Sydney route I'm sure other routes can get affected as well.

Regarding the retrofit program, would all current A380s present in SQ's fleet be configured to the same config as SKU-SKZ?

Yes, all the A380 will move towards one standard configuration as per SKU-SKZ.

9V-SKZ is on its way to Singapore. That's all the A380s delivered. Now for the refit programme.

SQ308|31JUL (SIN-LHR) is being operated by 9V-SKW.

Is the lease inclusive of the furnishing? If yes, then SQ has to return with it. If not, SQ has the obligation to remove it at their cost or has the waiver of the lessor to return as it is.

All leased A330s and A380s have had to be returned with the original furniture. I've not head of a situation where SQ had to remove seating to return a plane but happy to be corrected by anyone who knows better.

Thats so strange. The Suites and JCL seats should be a trademark for SQ and should be exclusive to them....interesting how this all played out for both SQ and the lessor.

Yeah I find it odd too. I guess it's what develops over time similar to residential rental agreements differing across countries just by what becomes customary. Some places a refrigerator is seen as part of an apartment, other places not. In Germany you can be required to install your own kitchen but then have the option of selling that kitchen to the next tenant. I suppose for a plane lessor, they want to be able to lease an aircraft with certified seats installed.

They are all 1 or even 2 generation behind, you can see those ex-SQ 747-400 is using the ex-SQ product as well.
