The 77WR designation should be removed since all 77W with the addition of SWT are 4-class 77Ws finally after almost 3 years of waiting.

Change of A/C SQ 947

Just received an email from SQ that they had changed A/C on our flight SQ 947 in July, probably meaning that they also changed SQ 946 ;-)

From A330- B787-10.

I wouldn't count on it. For a number of reasons I think this light is likely to stay with those old 772s for a while.

Especially with WLG also having a performance issue if the plane is anything larger than 772/359 size.....

Looking to book MEL-SIN in mid June on SQ248. I understand it should be the B772 with either the 'Refurbed' or '06 Y. Any chance it will get swapped for a newer aircraft? '06 Y is still not so bad, but 'Refurbed' Y is pretty meh...

With the NRT 637/8 flights switching over to 787s, it appears SWI has stopped flying, and probably is in the hangar for a refit. SWS and SWT still doing the HND and PEK duties.

Apparently, SWI is back in the air doing SQ916/921. I thought the same thing. Most of the time it happens iCargo never shows next departure flights on that bird for several days. If it is 2-3 days it was probably maintenance related.

MainlyMiles seems to have done a great job on his blog presenting a proper SQ Seat Guide. It's more focused on R, F and J.

Greater China destinations.

PVG
SQ826/827 (B773)
SQ828/831/832/835 (B77WR)
SQ830/833 (A388)
SQ832/835 (B772)

TPE
SQ876/878/877/879 (A333)

Actually, 832/835 are served regularly by the 772. In rare cases, they get a 77WR, but not always.

Korea - just a single destination.

ICN
SQ608/600/602/607/609/603 (A333)
SQ8/7 (B77WR)

@SQ228 - I think you might have missed out the “13F” on the SQ288 update for SYD above. In any case, thanks so much for putting this together buddy, it is fantastic indeed.

@9V-JKL - you might want to do a minor update on your post to reflect the correct seating arrangement for SQ288 out of SYD....?

Thanks everyone.

Yeah I forgot about F and then added it later after I'd done all the duplicating. Was sure I'd miss at least one instance!
