777-200 IFE
I just returned from HK on one of the regional SR-series 777-200s on SQ857, and can confirm the IFE has received upgrades. Not only has the inflight maps and UI been updated, the IFE system also feels more responsive. Content-wise, it seemed similar to the A330 I had on the outbound flight, so also a notable improvement here. I only wish they would get rid of the 4:3 screens and have in-seat power.
It was a pretty pleasant flight compared to my previous flights on the 772s. A bizarre thing is that these regional 772s seem to be in much better shape than the long haul SV-series planes. The seats are more comfortable (although they are the same seats but with a different cover) and the cabin is in better condition. I can only hope now that the 772ERs will receive the same upgrades in time for my flight to CHC next month.

I'm starting to place less emphasis on newness, provided I get the same experience- some airlines buy new planes and then crash them into things, so it's only a factor. Perhaps it's because I have a car from Wolfsburg that 10 years on I'm still just as happy with...

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostI wouldn't really mind that if they have the 77W seats. I trust SQ to keep older planes well maintained, but I'm just tired of the 15yo IFE system, the lack of bi-fold tray table, the armrest handset that my leg keeps touching, the lack of coathook, no glasses compartment, the seat cushion covered in rough fabric that bunches up etc.

Has 9V-STA been withdrawn from use? It hasn't been active for over a month now, and I doubt it's undergoing any sort of refit. It's sad to see another A330 go instead of a 772. The A330s have made regional travel on SQ so much more pleasant compared to the 777s with a quieter cabin and new(er) seats.

On the other hand, the 772 are all owned by SIA and probably has reached the end of its depreciation. Hence there is no depreciation cost to the airline, only operating cost.Last edited by iancasillas; 27 July 2016, 09:17 AM.
