5'9" is not especially tall.

I think he meant it as a joke

The new F has a pitch of 71" (5' 11" or 180cm). You only need to sleep diagonally if you are very tall, like over 5' 9" (175cm).

For some, the glass is always half empty, no matter how large the glass. My favourite complaint about the new Suites was that they dodn't come with a private lav.

I think the new F and J seats are brilliant.

It's amazing that people keep complaining about these seats. If you're sitting in one of those seats, isn't there a lot to be happy about?

I still haven't decided if this is a sign that the complainant is incredibley lucky or incredibly unlucky.

[zvezda]

Yes! You have to sleep diagonal! Thanks to some very bright people at SQ, they though they could decrease seat pitch because the seat is so wide... Hasn't been a smart idea and I wish they would revise it. Afraid though, we will be stuck with the seat for the next 6 years...

I'm sorry, I meant, are these two critical to the launch of the Paris route. I think the answer is yes.

Correct.

Not exactly. All the SQ WhaleJets will fly the CDG route. 9V-SKG and 9V-SKH will be added into the rotation.

Do you also have to sleep diagonal on the new First in 77W?

I'm flying it for the first time ICN-SIN - is it any good? I think I would prefer the current 744 SkySuites.

Are the next 2 A380s still going to be delivered in May?

We haven't heard much about them recently.

SKG/SKH are undergoing final interior fitting and should be ferried back to TLS from XFW for handover next week.

[SkySuites]

SQ J and F seats on the 77W are forward facing seats in a 1-2-1 layout. If you're into flying the 744 for the last time then go for the 744

I am booked on one of the last commercial 744 SQ flights SYD-SIN in October in F...can't wait. I still love the SkySuites - I have got a soft spot for them...you can tell by my user name too!!!
