I do hope that when they say 'refit', they don't mean merely reupholstering the 77W Y seats with the 77WN seat covers.

Refit of the SV* 772ER may have resulted in an all-new J product, but Y seats are merely new seat covers.
Then there's the question of the IFE, but the new system in the 77WN seems to be too much of a new concept to fudge through with the old screens in Y.

Originally posted by Jumbojet Lover View PostOk now I'm confounded by your statement. It seems that you're referring to different airlines, as your 'in-service' period is before the 'delivery' period. The A350s you refer to as arriving only in Jan '16 are for Singapore Airlines? While EIS in Feb/Mar 2015 is for Qatar Airways?

Originally posted by Metropolitan Airlines View PostI just wonder as B77Ws are being refitted to B77WN standard, then why A380s are not being included in this latest cabin rollout?
A380 is flagship of Singapore Airlines and some of them are already 7 years old. Surely the product/cabin is getting old and need some refresh.
Perhaps it's time to give them a cabin upgrade huh?

I'm going from Singapore to London on 24/12/2014 and back to Singapore on January 2. Can anybody update me on which flight numbers will be the brand new cabin products? I just called the call centre and he said all 777 flights will have them, but I'm not sure if he is confused about the not so new product or the brand new one.....
Thanks

Of course there's always a possibility that they may swap something else in.

Originally posted by CarbonMan View PostI think they may actually have told you the correct thing, though it may not be guaranteed. Previously it has been mostly SQ318/9s but recently I also see many SQ305/6 flying the 77WNs. Last night, for instance, my wife was on SWW on SQ306, much to my surprise.

SQ318/9 resumes full service from tomorrow, so you may well have had the last of the luck on SQ305/6!

Tried out seat 14K for the first time. Being the front row in the larger J cabin, it had the advantage of having a larger area for the feet. Unlike the older 77Ws, the foot rest is permanently down and not the flip-up on take-off and landing design on the older planes. The advantage of this is that I could put some hand luggage under it without the crew making a fuss over it. On the downside, there was no cubby hole slot and the width of the foot rest area is about 20cm narrower due to the need to make room for the galley access. Lastly the IFE screen is a little high making it necessary for me to slide the seat down so that I can watch the screen more comfortably.

And you were lucky second-last. One more SQ306 after yours with SWV, now back to standard 77W.
Meanwhile, SWY made another test flight a day ago to somewhere called 'Moses Lake'. Sounds weirdly prophetic...
