SQ237/8 was only recently upgraded from an old 773 to 77W, so no chance of getting the new product there.

Originally posted by Metropolitan Airlines View PostRather to put on new products, I think SQ should seriously put B77WR on SQ 227/8 as well as SQ 217/8 immediately. It is disappointing that Melbourne don't get Premium Economy products daily that makes premium passengers have to end up in cattle class.
Definitely take your point though- I just booked MEL-DUS and even though I'll be flying A350 on the DUS sectors, it didn't offer me PEY as an option. (Not that I was looking to select it, but didn't see it.)
Do all flights have to be PEY on a booking in order to book a sector in PEY?

I wasn't shown it either when searching some flights Germany to MEL, even when the leg to SIN had PE. Think they only show it if all flights have it.
And that would match with some info I once got from them, that you can't mix classes within one booking. I mean you can have different fare classes within biz or eco, but you can't mix Y on one flight, J on the connecting one. So you'd probably need to buy seperate tickets.

I recalled Premium Economy bookings is available as long as 1 of the long haul sector has Premium Economy in it.
Such as if SYD-SIN has S Class then you can book SYD-HKG in S Class whilst the SQ2 sector will be sold in Business; alternatively if SYD-SIN has no S class (SQ242/860), even if S Class is sold in the short haul sector, you cannot book it online.
With MEL flights, I think as no B777-200 will be retired this coming year, I think there should be some spares which perhaps SQ can add another SQ257/258 which leaves Melbourne around mid-night to cater the demand for red eye ex-Australia departure?

Originally posted by SQ228 View PostYes it will. SQ228 does not get the 77WR, it gets the 77WN. The difference from the regular older 77W is that the 77WN has the new 2013 product and is a newer plane (SWU-Z, SNA), but the layout is almost identical. I believe the 77WN can be differentiated by the presence of two extra seats in their own row at the rear- 57H&K. Somebody needs to confirm this though- just typing off the top of my head.
Speaking of 77Ws, also 227/228 have also had a fair number of old 77W days whereas 318/319 are still having old 77W but less than before, since SWU's return to service they have opped up frequncy of 77WN. I hope it's only a matter of time SQ will update more older 77W to the 77WN configuration at least. I do know at least 1-2 77W need to be refitted to 77WR to serve both LAX routes.

Folks, can somebody confirm what is there in 77WR in economy, I recently booked the new LAX flight, is the IFE same as A380 or better or worse? Have a 5 yr old and hence want to know if we need an iPad stocked or IFE will suffice. The A388 selections were pretty good, also wanted to know what is the case with a classic 77W in case there is a downgrade on the day of the flight, of course hoping for a 77WN but that may be optimistic

There are a good number of games and movies for kids but that subjective. You can download the SIA APP to have a preview of the selection but it'll update based on when your are flying.
Have a great flight.

Well, new cabin products and 3D maps blend nicely together no matter the configuration. Probably by the time I fly in December maybe all 77WN will have 3D maps. I also think it's in tandem to keep up with the A350 which also has the 3D maps.
