It was a surprise, but a good one.
Glad to hear that those 200's are being reno'ed, (long) overdue IMHO.
Do you have more info on routes, or is that article pretty accurate?

[StarG]

Is all SQ- series getting two-classed?

They were 12/42/234 before now going on 38/228... Mebbe there IS enough space for F? I guess we need to wait and see

Just looked up the seat map: it's 38 J, rows 11DF 12-18ACDFHK 2-2-2 no F indeed

Singapore Airlines To Introduce New Cabin Products On B777-200 Aircraft

Singapore Airlines To Introduce New Cabin Products On B777-200 Aircraft

04 February 2010

Singapore Airlines will be introducing new cabin products on some of its Boeing 777-200 aircraft from later this month.

A total of 11 B777-200s will be refitted with the Airline’s most recent cabin offerings, to provide additional space, comfort and greater product consistency across the fleet. The refitted B777-200s will be configured with 38 Business Class and 228 Economy Class seats.

Business Class will feature a genuine leather, incline lie-flat seat in a modern design. Also found on Singapore Airlines’ Airbus A330-300 aircraft, it boasts a personal partition and advanced control panel that enables the customer to personalise seating preferences or select from various preset options. A six-way adjustable headrest and lumbar support will provide maximum ergonomic support for a more comfortable rest.

The Economy Class cabin will be refurbished with a new contemporary look. Seat covers, designed by Givenchy, will feature soothing colours as well as richer and softer fabrics, similar to those found on Singapore Airlines’ new Airbus A380 and B777-300ER aircraft.

Enhancements will also be made to Singapore Airlines’ award-winning KrisWorld in-flight entertainment system, for better Audio-Video On Demand features in both cabin classes, such as a more intuitive and user-friendly graphical interface. Business Class seats will feature larger 15.4-inch screens, while screens in Economy Class will be increased to 9 inches later this year.

The first refitted B777-200 aircraft will operate on the Singapore-Shanghai route from 23 February. As more B777-200s are refitted, selected flights to Beijing, Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hong Kong and Chennai will also be operated with these aircraft.

The deployment schedule of the refitted aircraft is as follows:

Not all.

Obviously the chimps learnt something from the 73A refurbishment debacle. Instead of the EIS month, it's now "Will be progressively introduced between April and August".
