Confirmed : Regional 772's to get cabin refurb (72A)

[Bitterroot]

No More Regional F to India

Looks like there's been a further shuffle in the Northern Summer deployment of the reconfig 772s: once complete, there'll be no more regional F to the Indian subcontinent (including Dacca, Colombo, and Male, the latter two of which get A330s as noted elsewhere).

SIN-BOM goes two-class 4 May; SIN-DEL goes 29 May; SIN-MAA goes 29 June -- the last 3-class 773 route to India, and also the last three-class turn to India period, except for the one 77W turn to BOM, and the one 77W to DEL.

Won't leave the remaining three-class regional birds much to do: a couple of Middle East loops, a China trip or two, a Manila maybe, and Jakarta.....

But the yields are quite high. Probably one of the carrier's flagship routes.

I guess because SIN-SYD is a long-haul and/or high-yield route by the carrier's standards.

SYD is actually regional like the rest of the Ozzie destinations.

[hybridace101]

No.



Why not?

As we know those regional C seats on the A330 come with a USB-port that allows one to play the contents of his MP3 player on the aircraft's IFE. Will we see that on the refurbished 777s, either in the new C or the regional 772s Y?

No.

Aren't they supposed to deploy the 77Ws on the SIN-SYD route and not the refurbished regional 773s?

Why not?

Cabin will look like the A330's.



None in Y. But a few of the front.

If a flight is fully booked, and they refurb the aircraft later on for a smaller capacity, will the flight be considered "overbooked"?

[SQflyergirl]

Pitch is up to 65" from 60" for a start, so maybe they're slightly different in the "flatness"? just a guess.

Are the seats here going to be the same as those on the Airbus widebodies?

Does anyone have any pictures of the new cabin refit?

and has the krisworld been updated to the newest version? or is it still the same old dreaded system

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.

Neither frame has strayed from its assigned route...ever.

For now... they're in captive rotations because they're unique. When more refurbished 77A's and new regional 772's come online, that'll change

Is it likely we can see random appearances of the reconfigured 772s in other cities like MNL?

I don't think "random" exists in the SQ dictionary. When they assign an aircraft to a route, it stays there: cases in point -- 9V-SYF on SQ231/232, and 9V-SQI on SQ827/826. Neither frame has strayed from its assigned route...ever.
