It had to happen sometime, and tonight is it, apparently.
Due to the technical delay from LHR, the 9V-SKA could not make it back to SIN in time for the evening departures on 26th May. So, the NRT flight got subbed with a bog-standard 773.
I'm not sure whether R passengers will receive compensation (R vs. F booking class, plus how many times have we seen "A class beyond First" mentioned? ) - they might receive the fare difference perhaps. But with a substitution like that, I doubt they're paying for R in a hurry anytime soon!
As for Business and Economy passengers, I would imagine that they would receive nothing more than an apology in compensation. Oh, maybe a "goodwill gesture" of some duty free vouchers. It's bad enough for the downgrade in Y, but in C - going from fully flat bed to C seats with <50" pitch, all I can say is that they probably drove away quite a lot of customers tonight!
I hope no-one on SQT was unfortunate enough to be scheduled to fly on this flight!
PS. I just realised that I might have missed any previous instances of this happening, perhaps on the SYD route - has it?
