For a Y traveller, I think the A330 is preferable to any old variant of 772 or 773 because of the better tray table, handset and IFE. For a J traveller, obviously 1-2-1 seating would probably win I'm guessing.

As far as HKG/SFO goes, it's operated with a 77WN without PEY. Some believe it's a potential A350 route, just because the A350 will have PEY, but again, if there's enough demand for PEY on that route, maybe they could send a reconfigured 77WR just like they're planning to do to ICN/SFO (Unless they get enough positive feedback that will persuade them to refit 77WNs). Besides, the A350 has lesser seats than the 77W according to another post, which is why a 77W is definitely better for SFO route.
I would like to rather try an A350 on a short haul route (If it goes to Chennai or anywhere in India in the future). Also, I'm definitely looking forward to picture of the A350 interior of the classes offered in there (I'm sure it will be the same like 77Ws, but of course interior differences).

Singapore Airlines: new business class beats old first class
Singapore Airlines: new business class beats old first class
Singapore Airlines is relaxed about the loss of first class on its new Airbus A350 routes, based on market trends and the high standard of its latest business class.
The advanced A350 jet, which joins the SQ fleet in January, counts business class as its most premium cabin – but it will largely replace older Boeing 777 jets fitted with the airline's previous generation first class at the pointy end.

2. Looks like SQ is trying to have more J passengers than to fill up the F cabin.
3. I wonder whether SQ will consider A350-1000 despite being marketed by Airbus.Last edited by SQflyergirl; 21 October 2015, 01:20 AM.

Originally posted by jaywell View PostWell SQ is certainly evaluating the aircraft most likely as 777-300ER replacements and they have 20 A350 options that they can convert to the -1000. The 77W replacement order coming up in about 4-5 years time should be quite interesting as I believe SQ is also looking at the 777X.
My opinion is that a derated A350-1000 will be useful to take over the role what B777-300 is doing - High density plane flying short haul routes with airport capacity restraints.

Looks like GRU and BCN will get the A359 once the 5th A359 gets delivered around 2H 2016.
