From what I saw on the booking page PEY is not available on 318 on a date I selected somewhere in October.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostGotcha! My mistake, then. I think NRT might be a 77WR too eventually. Unless something last minute occurs, you could probably expect a 77WR, since November is sometime away.
Also, any news about SQ318/319 completely going 77WR? It has had a very good number of cases with this.
Seems the remaining 77WN will go to 77WR first (9V-SWZ now in hand).
But some 318/319 rotations may well continue to get 77WRs. Eventually, all will go 77WR.

Looks like SQ2 got swapped to SWG, a 2006 plane we thought was retrofitted months ago. SWU was initially suppose to operate for this. I guess they want to put SFO as a 77WR as they have been usually 98% consistent with their product.

Originally posted by SQfanatic View PostI find it surprising they are doing this in the busy peak Summer season. I was expecting to be after Peak Season is over. Since it is reducing from 8 to 4 F and the second flight doesn't even have F, so they are not accounting another 77WR route for SFO in this situation.
I think it's related to yield. CX also operates 77G (without F-class) on CX870. Furthermore, I think since UA launches SFO-SIN direct flight, it attracts some business class passengers as well from SQ.
However, I'm surprised there will be a further 44 economy seats cut per day on SQ1/2!

IIRC, 5 years ago during peak season (Though announced maybe 3-4 months ago), CX downguaged from 744 to a 77W in July as well

Anyone know what's gonna happen to SQ237/238? Once in a while it gets a 77WR though not always. It is reverting back to just a 2006 77W as SWZ seems to obviously be in for a 6 week refit.
I guess the only few 3-class routes to remain after SQ2/1 go 77WR next month are: SQ211/212 (SYD), SQ836/825 (PVG), SQ318/319 (LHR), SQ634/635 (HND, which this afternoon flight has NEVER got PEY), and SQ638/637 (NRT). Some redeye flights like PVG and PEK tend to get it instead of the 773 but not always, not sure if we are expecting a permanent change to eventually occur with 800/805 and 826/827.
If anyone has more information on the 3-class routes going 77WR, feel free to list them.
