  • Bassinet Seats on 77W

    Hi everyone, would like to get some thoughts on the bassinet seat placement on the 77Ws.

    ALL bassinet seats are in the D/F, NONE at the window side of the cabin.
    In fact, two bassinets are crammed into D/E/F making it almost certain that parents are certainly separated (since only 3 seats in middle)

    As a parent travelling with an infant, it’s awful. Especially on red eye flights. On certain sectors, we have no option but a 77W - MEL is one of them, in April.

    I will be doing HKG-MEL & MEL-PVG in April with my 6mth old baby. And ALL sectors are on a 77W!!

    I’ve written a couple of feedback letters to SQ. Personally, I feel at least one window side bassinet seat should be allocated...at least since some people (like me) prefer a Window side seat (because I have motion sickness and need to look out the window).

    Feels like SQ positioned the bassinet seats with revenue in mind - the window side seats are sold as “extra legroom” seats.

    What do you guys thing - anyone has any experiences to share?

    If you were suggesting that SQ puts a bassinet at the window trio of of seats, I don't think that's possible unless they changed the entire bulkhead because the bassinet points are already fixed onto the bulkhead.

    The best you can get is to get 2 of the 3 centre seats. Or 1 of the 3, and 1 across the aisle. I think SQ wouldn't have an issue allocating that to you? As far as I know once you have an infant in your booking they will waive seat selection fees for everyone in that booking.

      Yes, seat selection is not a problem.
      What I’m saying is that by positioning 2 bassinets within the 3 Center seats - it’s quite a squeeze...especially if you’ve got two crying babies lying side by side. And splitting parents across the aisle at the bulkhead...it’s a pain, especially with the human traffic moving around.
      As I pointed out too, there are no window options at all.

      I have heard others having the same complaint also. I don’t think it’s too difficult to reposition the bassinet mounts on the bulkhead walls. It’s just a question of whether SQ sees it as a legitimate consideration if enough pax prefer so.

      The 77Ws had bassinets in 31 window, before the retrofit.
