I do have one question though. What's the big deal about the update to the 3D maps? Is there something special about them that I'm missing, or is it really just that they look cooler than 2D maps?
Never meant to whine or complain about it, but before the other 2D map got released, when I flew in 2012 (and 2010), it contained all the information before, as back in the day I was always used to the 2D maps no matter what plane I always flew.
But looking at the videos, it looks a lot better to some degree, but I am sure many of you will have differing opinions which I respect. As far as the camera, I agree, but maybe unless it's EK's style of the camera on the A380 (and 77W), I'm in for it, like CX, might be okay but still prefer to look at the window for views.

I assume no one has any news about SWB.
On the other hand, sounds like SWA could be either undergoing maintenance or going to undergo a refit to either 77WR, 77WN, or as rumors stated, a 77W without First Class and just J, S, and Y class. Has not been flying since July 25.
It could also be undergoing a cabin refit and a Wifi refit since it's supposed to start now.

Originally posted by SQ380 View PostAt Gate B8, SQ338 pre-flight inaugural, I spoke to SQ VPs and quizzed them about the fate of SWB. Apparently it was represented that SWB was to have been scheduled for a retrofit a week after the accident. So it appears that the plane would repaired (if it makes sense post-insurance review) and retrofitted at the same time.

The DME and MAN/IAH flights (later into next year) are showing up as 77Ws with only J and Y available for reservation. Perhaps there is some truth to the new 77W configuration? (Either that, or they are next in line for an A350, or a downgauge to an SV-series).

As for DME, I highly doubt they will put a 772. MAN/IAH would obviously be operated with a 77W unfortunately not a 77WR though.

You know times have changed when SQ are refitting 9-10 year old planes instead of retiring them. At least the 777-300ER refits are thorough, with all classes of travel getting new seats, the latest IFE, and WiFi.
Which 77Ws (other than the new ones) are equipped with WiFi?
